Lightning Bolt, Thurston Moore to Play Terrastock 6
This spring, Terrastock will return from a four-year absence to show all the newbies who's boss. Thanks to Ptolemaic Terrascope and the record label Secret Eye, Terrastock 6 will take over the Pell Chafee Performance Center and AS220 in Providence, Rhode Island (home of the first 'stock, back in 1997) from April 21-23.
Veteran acts like Cul de Sac, Bardo Pond, Charalambides, Damon and Naomi, the Green Pajamas, Windy & Carl, and Tom Rapp of psych godfathers Pearls Before Swine will join upstarts like Lightning Bolt, Black Forest/Black Sea, Larkin Grimm, Marissa Nadler, and Spires That in the Sunset Rise at the festival. Finnish favorites Avarus and Kemialliset Ystävät will play for the first time in the U.S., as will Australia's Brothers of the Occult Sisterhood and England's Thought Forms. (Sadly, Terrastock 6 will also feature the last-ever U.S. performance from Japanese acid-psych monsters Ghost.)
Fursaxa, Glenn Jones, the Kitchen Cynics, Sharron Kraus, Landing, the Magic Carpathians Project, Major Stars, MV/EE Medicine Show, Kinski, Paik, Jack Rose, Salamander, St. Joan, Spacious Mind, Tanakh, and Urdog will all share the good vibes as well.
And what would an experimental festival be without a Sonic Youth side project? Terrastock 6 will also feature a performance from the excellently named College Girls Gone Wild, which is a collaboration between SY's Thurston Moore, Dan Ireton (aka Dredd Foole) of Volcano Suns and Cul De Sac, and Matt Valentine and Erika Elder of Tower Recordings and MV/EE Medicine Show. BYO boobies and beer.
