CITAY

Event information

***The September Gig Of The Month***
We're amazingly pleased to present Citay's first ever show in London!

CITAY (San Francisco, CA)
...a musical tapestry that is both heavy and sweet. Bong rock delivered with clearheaded craft.
We're super pleased to be hosting San Fran sextet Citay's first ever London headline show, on the back of their appearance at The End of the Road festival.
Citay makes a joyous return on Dream Get Together (Dead Oceans), the San Francisco cosmic wanderers' expansive third album. Many of the touchstones from Citay's previous work remain intact � flourishes of Led Zeppelin, Eno/Fripp, Thin Lizzy, Pink Floyd, Popul Vuh and ELO can be heard throughout � but a newfound swagger pushes Dream Get Together way over the top.
Led by songwriter Ezra Feinberg (a founder member of Piano Magic), Citay have made a career out of studio exploration. Producer Tim Green, of The F*cking Champs, is no stranger to sonic indulgence, and together they have woven together a musical tapestry that is both heavy and sweet.
'a treasure trove of guitar sounds from the softer side of stoner rock' - Onion AV Club
'Careful with That Hat' is a sidewinding epic veering between choral swells, a Motorik midsection, and a solo that sends San Francisco's past exploding into the air like sparks.' - Pitchfork (7.6)

THE LIFTMEN (Bristol)
Even though they've released a full album and contributed several tracks on Twisted Nerve compilations, no one has quite been able to pin down The Liftmen's sound. They've been compared to Captain Beefheart, Gorky's, Young Marble Giants, Blonde Redhead, The Sea and Cake and Sonic Youth often in the same song. Their second album for Manchester's fine twisted Nerve label is due out in November.
'The band are not only quite unlike anything else around at the moment but quite bizarre even by Twisted Nerve standards. The atonal strumming of 'Belly Can' combines garage rock frivolousness with new wave abrasion, and the whole album seems to be laced with a woozy preoccupation with the absurd. Intriguing stuff.' - Boomkat

DANIEL LEFKOWITZ (Virginia)
New signing to End of the Road Records! Rooted in the American folk tradition, Lefkowitz brings to his songwriting a form stripped bare and beautiful that's delivered with a voice of gold and dust - like a good blade a bit rusted
