Event information

Tagged with the delightful “sh*tgaze” sobriquet, along with bands such as Times New Viking, Psychedelic Horseshit and No Age, Sic Alps started off as a duo with pedigree including the essential Hospitals and Coachwhips. They don’t really fit into that, or any other, categorisation easily - elements of psyche-rock, folk, garage, noise and punk all coalesce into a fuzzy brew with a reverbed glaze. After releasing a ton of super-limited edition tapes records and CDRs on various labels - including Woodsist, Important and Animal Disguise - they put out the stone-cold classic album, “U.S. EZ”, on Siltbreeze last year. A load of that earlier stuff has just been compiled into a double LP, “A Long Way Around To A Shortcut”, on Drag City. They’ve just been augmented by the singular and prolific Ty Segall on drums. Following this Euro-tour they’re off supporting that Sonic Youth band in the US, if that sways things for you.
