PALM / Spirit of the Beehive / UNITY presented by Rickshaw Stop / Noise Pop

Rickshaw Stop + Noise Pop present PALM The Spirit Of The Beehive UNITY 8 pm $12/15 PALM Palm plays rock music backwards. On 2017’s Shadow Expert EP, they made use of the steady hand granted by a tireless touring schedule, cutting their songs to efficiencies of pop confection without sacrificing the avant-adventurism at the center. The effort was met with praise from such outlets as Pitchfork, Stereogum, Spin, and Tiny Mix Tapes, who likened the sound variously to Stereolab, Slint, Sonic Youth and Broadcast. With Rock Island (2018), Palm excuses the company of these myriad influences with a sly brush of a hand, ushering the listener into a new domain, thrillingly strange for all its familiarity. https://www.facebook.com/palmmlap/ SPIRIT OF THE BEEHIVE 'The Philadelphia band’s new record often veers towards an alluring ugliness. But when they let some light in and it hits just right, *Pleasure Suck *emanates a psych-folk warmth.... Think Elephant 6 by way of Ween, whimsical and scatalogical, held together by Scotch tape and Scotchgard.' --Pitchfork https://www.facebook.com/thespiritofthebeehive/
