This weekend Los Angeles gets a double dose of
Unknown Mortal Orchestra, the Portland groomed psychedelic indie rock act formed by New Zealand native Ruban Nielson. After their arrival in 2010 and subsequent eruption as a buzz band in 2011, they dropped their
Wes Anderson esque video for
"Strangers are Strange" in February 2012 in anticipation of their tour.
Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Strangers Are Strange from Pharm on Vimeo.
Now they find themselves on that tour and inhabiting the
Echoplex (Saturday) and
The Central SAPC (Sunday) - with support from
White Arrows and trash-pop act
TRMRS (who play earlier that day at KXSC Fest for FREE!). We have two pairs of tickets to give away for each show - email contest@supergoodmusic.com or comment on our facebook page to enter. Winners will be notified by 2 pm on the day of the show.
Speaking of UMO - look out for
Kosha Dillz next drop off
The Jetlag EP coming soon - it features him and
Ducky rapping over some Unknown Mortal Orchestra on a track called
"Friends." Check www.koshadillzworld.com or his Facebook for the release...
