Texas indie instrumentalists, Explosions In The Sky, are playing a show at Mesa Theatre on Friday. Grand Junction is one of the many stops on their nationwide tour, which includes major festivals like Coachella, Sasquatch, Latitude and others.

Explosions In The Sky has been around since 1999 and played under the alias, Breaker Morant. Their music is entirely instrumental and has been defined as post-rock. The band typically plays with three electric guitars and a drum kit, but switches out one of the guitars for a bass on some tracks.

Their music has been featured on several television shows and movies including Paul Blart Mall Cop, One Tree Hill and more. They are well known for their Snuffy Walden cover of “Your Hand In Mine” used as the theme song for the TV show, “Friday Night Lights.”

“The band rocks,” fan Donnie Steele said. “They play nice ambient jams that build in intensity until they explode. It’s all about the dynamic build ups, hence the name.”

They have their own style and rarely follow popular music standards. On YouTube the band doesn’t have a single song less than eight minutes long. Their latest video for the track, “Be Comfortable, Creature,” is a 10 minute video that depicts a character similar to Elmo going through life and finding himself.

Their tracks start slow and rely on a creative guitar style to keep fans interested rather than singing. Guitarist Munaf Ravani talked to music TV program “Austin City limits” about their lack of vocals.

“I think we discussed singing for half a second, and then we just dropped it,” Ravani said. “We just didn’t go back to it because we were comfortable enough.”

Their latest album titled, “Take Care, Take Care, Take Care”  was released last April and received positive reviews from critics. It peaked at No. 81 on iTunes alternative album chart.
