Sludge rock duo Steel Cranes, which is made up of drummer Amanda Schukle and guitarist/vocalist Tracy Shapiro, formed early last year after meeting by chance when Schukle walked into the restaurant Shapiro was working. Before long they were writing, recording, and playing shows together, eventually producing their debut album, Ouroboros, which was released last month. The two are currently embarking on their first nationwide tour, which comes to Brooklyn on Oct. 24 when they play Spike Hill before heading down to Philadelphia for a show at Kung Fu Necktie on Oct. 26.
