STRANGLED DARLINGS Strangled Darlings brings a punk intensity to their live show. Taking a cello and making it a hip hop bass. Taking mandolin and slapping it like a stubborn mule. The Portland based duo has been creating original tunes since 2009 and breaking the mold for what hipsters consider indie music. They bring a lyrical intelligence and political punch to songs that otherwise might have just been another break up song. Their song material focuses more on witchcraft in the Civil War, the morality of Somali piracy and the curse of Anna Nicole Smith's breast implants. The band has released three studio albums and a fourth is due out this fall. Their live show mixes technical mastery with deadpan humor and a little something to shake your rumpus.
Strangled Darlings are from Portland, Oregon. They have toured New England, the West Coast and the Northwest, including Alaska.
They are on an extended US tour to support their upcoming release of "Boom Stomp King". The album focuses soley on the duo sound; the current touring set-up. Boom Stomp King is a record about objects, shelter, the ephemeral nature of your history.
MINK'S MIRACLE MEDICINE MINK refers to themselves as catfishmusical bottom feeders, if you willfiltering tasty morsels of genres as they dive a few feet below punk and catch the last bits of Americana bones. There, in the "belly of the beast", is a twisting symphony of digesting inspiration: Northern freight trains and steel yards, books unbound from wear, cities once lived in, landscapes only dreamed of, and every perfect cliche you never went for.
MINK, a shortened version of the tongue-twisting title "MINK's Miracle Medicine", is Melissa Wright and Daniel Zezeski. Both are musical veterans beyond their years and have pegged performances with The Menzingers, Alison Krauss, and Ralph Stanley to name a few.
MINK's inaugural performance was a comic book shop in Philadelphia. Since then they have performed at venues like the WDVX Blue Plate Special, The Black Cat DC, The Tally Ho Theater, The Bright Box, and the Great West Virginia Train Race.
