    • WASTEYOURSELF & GRINGO RECORDS PRESENTS:

      Floodit 04 - An evening of live music & screen printing at The Art Organisation with:

      Live Music from two of Thrill Jockey's finest:

      PONTIAK
      Pontiak is made up of three brothers from the Blue Ridge farm country of Virginia, Van (guitar, lead vocals), Lain (drums, vocals) and Jennings Carney (bass, organ, vocals). Their music is swaggering guitar rock that treads the line between Lungfish and Crazy Horse - yes, they really are that good! Their broad song structures allow ample room for three-part vocals, drums, organ and stellar slide and lead guitar to stretch and captivate. Julian Cope described them as, “straddling a wide sonic rift valley, with references that stretch from the southern latitudes of Spain’s Viaje A800 to the northern majesty of Black Sabbath and Harvey Milk via the Doors.”

      WHITE HILLS
      Hailing from Brooklyn, White Hills were originally formed to help bring space rock into the 21st century. Straddling the chasm between Hawkwind and Mudhoney, White Hills craft psychedelic swirls of feedback, bottom heavy bass riffs and soaring guitar solos that take listeners on journeys into the farthest reaches of the mind.

      THE CULT OF DOM KELLER
      Dom Keller sound like they've fallen from the back of Ken Kesey's legendary LSD loaded magic bus, down 'n' dirty slabs of fried freak beat are sumptuously decoded within a swamp infested heavy beatnik chassis, part acid laced shade wearing psyche and part heavy stoner goo, a wasted baby laced with hazy 60's sourced keys and looping gridlocked riffs of mind expanding proportions; a bludgeoned blues bastardisation spewed out by a tranced out Brian Jonestown Massacre amid an impenetrably squalling sonic wall feedback fisticuffs with a volatile 13th Floor Elevators.
