Icy Demons + Extra Golden: An Intimate Affair

Icy Demons leave for Europe this Wednesday on a massive 5-week euro-tour, tonight:

Extra Golden with Icy Demons
April 20, 9:30pm
at Empty Bottle

Representing the unlikely collision of D.C. scenesters and Kenyan musicians, EXTRA GOLDEN is an international force for good feelings, good music and good times. Marrying bluesy slide guitar, “96 Tears” organ runs with drums and percussion tripping over each other in a vibrant shuffle, this is international party time music. After a dancing-in-the-heat set at last years’ Pitchfork Fest, EXTRA GOLDEN are touring behind last month’s Thrill Jockey release Thank You Very Quickly, leaving a wake of inexplicably smiling people as they cross America. Gifted experimental ensemble ICY DEMONS will also perform their “epic journey into the nether regions of pop music, hallucinatory chamber jazz, and mid-seventies German-style electronics.” Featuring members of BABLICON, MICHAEL COLUMBIA and NEED NEW BODY, the band will open gearing up for a string of shows this May throughout Europe – catch these local favorites before they head for distant shores.
