PINK MOUNTAINTOPS & WHITE HILLS

$15 advanced, $20 day of show
General Admission (Standing) - Doors open at 7PM

Since their 2004 self-titled debut, Pink Mountaintops have supplied an outlet for the more arcane fascinations of Black Mountain frontman Stephen McBean. On Peacock Pools—Pink Mountaintops’ first new music in eight years—the British Columbia-born singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist shares 12 songs sparked from his magpie-like curiosity for a wild expanse of cultural artifacts: the sci-fi body horror of David Cronenberg, Disney Read-Along Records from the 1970s, early Pink Floyd and mid-career Gary Numan, John Carpenter movies, Ornette Coleman live videos, a 1991 essay on the cult of bodybuilding by postmodern feminist Camille Paglia. Featuring counterculture icons like Steven McDonald of Redd Kross and Dale Crover of Melvins, Peacock Pools alchemizes those obsessions into a body of work with its own enchanting power, the sonic equivalent of falling down a thousand rabbit holes at once and landing somewhere gloriously strange.
NYC’s cult duo White Hills, known for their role in Jim Jarmusch’s critically acclaimed vampire romance Only Lovers Left Alive, open minds with their sonic alchemy- a hypnotic mix of neo-psychedelia, art rock, and darkwave- euphoric & transcendent.
