Arguably one of the most prominent post-rock bands in the world, Godspeed You! Black Emperor put out three official records beginning in 1997 before going on an “indefinite hiatus” in 2003. Since a reunion in 2010, the Montreal group has released two albums — ‘Allelujah! Don’t Bend! Ascend in 2012 and Asunder, Sweet and Other Distress, the latter of which made several prominent 2015 best-of lists. Godspeed’s longest and best record, 2000’s Lift Your Skinny Fists Like Antennas to Heaven, clocks in at one hour and 27 minutes. Although their greatest commercial success was opening for Nine Inch Nails in 2013, the band gained a cult following through their epic, orchestral sequences put to loops of film at live shows. Godspeed currently has nine active members, with duties ranging from violin to keyboards to projecting the film. Greek/Australian lute-infused post-rock duo Xylouris White open. 18+. $25. 7:30 p.m. 701 First Ave. N., Minneapolis; 612-338-8388. —Grace Birnstengel
