The Antarcticans are a four-piece Los Angeles based instrumental-attack-noise group that formed in 2001. In recordings and in their performances, The Antarcticans are a violent takeover of overwhelming feedback-peaking builds of heart-breaking psych-trips. The Antarcticans have opened shows in Los Angeles for many avant-rock acts including Acid Mothers Temple, Album Leaf, Beck, Deerhoof, Kinski, Rogue Wave, and Mono from Japan.
