Crushing Death & Grief unfurl and display:
SIC ALPS + ROCK WITH ELECTRONICS + INTERNET FOREVER
Mon 19th Oct @ The Portland Arms, Cambridge
£5 adv. - Doors 8pm

SIC ALPS
Around about this time last year Sic Alps stacked up some amps, turned on the echo and whipped the Portland Arms into a wide-eyed frenzy with half an hour of perfect, ripping, psyche tunes, so we’re more than a bit pleased that they’re coming back. All right-thinking people know that their gig was one of Cambridge’s ‘08 highlights.

Sic Alps started off as a duo with pedigree including the essential Hospitals and Coachwhips. They don’t really fit into any categorisation easily - elements of psyche-rock, folk, garage, noise and punk all coalesce into a fuzzy brew with a reverbed glaze. After releasing a ton of super-limited edition tapes records and CDRs on various labels - including Woodsist, Important and Animal Disguise - they put out the stone-cold classic album, “U.S. EZ”, on Siltbreeze last year. A load of that earlier stuff has just been compiled into a double LP, “A Long Way Around To A Shortcut”, on Drag City. They’ve just been augmented by the singular and prolific Ty Segall on drums. Following this Euro-tour they’re off supporting that Sonic Youth band in the US, if that sways things for you.
