Crystal Antlers, Pink Skull, Mythical Beast,ALL AGES/doors at 6:30pm
Making their Philadelphia debut, Long Beach, CA's Crystal Antlers (Touch & Go) bring their combustible live show to The Barbary on October 26th. With an explosive build-up of noise and melody blended with raw vocals and twisting riffs, this quintet has mastered the art of thrash. Philly local hypnotic, dance-floor-friendly enthusiasts, Pink Skull, and Kansas City's fine purveyors of dark psych, Mythical Beast round out the bill. Be sure to knock back a couple of extra Bloody Mary's at brunch and/or an extra six-pack of Kenzinger during the game before heading over to The Barbary for this Sunday evening jawn. Presented with love by FRICTION NYC & FLYING V.
CRYSTAL ANTLERS
"Existing at the cross-section of so many styles, CRYSTAL ANTLERS
debut EP (Touch & Go) finds the band at a more important nexus
of potential and realization. In person, Crystal Antlers look like
outcasts from six different bands, and at various points on this
record, they sound like it, too: Merging psych, garage, lo-fi,
prog, and countless other influences, the group easily maintains
consistency despite a complete inability to be pinned to any
specific movement or trend." [Pitchfork, Best New Music]
PINK SKULL
"PINK SKULL's first full-length released earlier this year
(Zeppelin 3), plays like a time- and genre-transcending masterpiece
like nothing you've heard — a mélange of soundscapes
ranging from dancefloor killers to experimental funk to psych-rock
to ultra-low-key acoustic folk." [Prefixmag]
MYTHICAL BEAST
"Steeped in the darkest recesses of psych's heart, MYTHICAL BEAST's
tracks [on their debut album, Scales] smolder with scorched earth
and the black taste of doom. But there is light at the edges of
Mythical Beast's universe and though the themes are dark there's a
sad hope that looms present behind the clouds of destruction. The
band has pulled itself to the forefront of modern psychedelia, and
this album [recorded with Greg Weeks at Language of Stone in
Philly] will more than likely serve as a jumping off point for
great things to come." [Raven Sings the Blues]
This is an ALL AGES early show!
