Pitchfork

For a month or thereabouts, Chicago-bred jagged-edged synth-freakout act Pit Er Pat will separate the syllables in a string of live dates taking them to the four corners of this great nation. They'll fire through tracks from last fall's Pyramids, and share stages with the floral and faunal likes of White/Lichens (aka Lichens + White/Light) and Priestbird.

As previously reported, their May 3 date (tomorrow, for you calendar nuts out there) is a part of Toronto's Over the Top Festival, featuring the outlandish antics of, among others, Mount Eerie and Flosstradamus. Pit Er Pat's set has them keeping good company with Julie Doiron.
