Gallery 400 offers "A Visual Introduction to Drag City"

Only one year away from 20 in existence, local label Drag City has established itself through both the audible and visual art produced by its roster of musicians. Now through October 4, Gallery 400 hosts "Chances are the Comets in Our Future: A Visual Introduction to Drag City," featuring artwork, album covers and more from Drag City artists new (Singer), old (Gastr del Sol) and eternal (The Red Krayola).

Other musicians with art on display include Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Neil Hamburger, Bill Callahan, conceptual artist collective Art & Language, Royal Trux guitarist and songwriter Neil Michael Hagerty (who sometimes pops up with Weird War and Pussy Galore) and German artist Albert Oehlen, a member of The Red Krayola since the 1990s.
