Holy Shit! Look who’s coming to our town:
Sic Alps (from San Francisco, CA – new LP out on Siltbreeze Recs)

San Fransisco two piece setting the bar for modern bands doing the modern psych/folk/sloptastic JAMC sound. What sets Sic Alps apart from the rest is their unique ability to mash the rough edge of the folk strum, cutting songs with razor sharp candor, and artfully landing somewhere between flowery optimism and filthy regret. Stylistically, they’re are all over the place too, incorporating jazzy freak outs, the sincere tinkering of piano keys, and muddy, down-trodden rhythms.Not easily pinned down into a specific sound or genre, Sic Alps reiterate their freedom of form with each successive release. With a musical pedigree second to none, with both members doing time in such outfits as Coachwhips, Hospitals and Total Shutdown. Already notorious for their exciting and energetic live performances, they’ve released music on Mt. St. Mtn, 777 was 666, Animal Disguise, Woodsist and Skulltones and their new LP has just been released by Tom Lax’s legendary Siltbreeze label. So come on down and experience the madness of Sic Alps.

With supports from Leeds’ deranged strum and bash trio The Uprights and Sheffield’s kings of manic retardo punk The Hipshakes (Die Slaughterhaus, Goner), this should be a night you won’t forget!
