Sons Of An Illustrious Father at Rough Trade

Gig Alerts | Jul 19, 2019

Sons Of An Illustrious Father at Rough Trade, July 23
Tickets: $15. Show at 8:30 pm. 

The band called Sons Of An Illustrious Father is a trio of equal partners. That’s important to say when one of the three is a famous actor. That would be Ezra Miller, who plays The Flash in the DC Comics universe of movies, and stars in the Harry Potter spinoff Fantastic Beasts movies. But he’s serious about his long-term musical endeavor with Josh Aubin and Lilah Larson, and collectively the trio have created an idiosyncratic body of work that celebrates non-conformity, especially in terms of gender and genre. Much of their music blends indie rock with echoes of the psychedelic folk-rock of early 70s England, or maybe The Beatles. The trio called Sons of An Illustrious Father plays Tuesday night, July 23, at Rough Trade.
