Wavelengths: Black Moth Super Rainbow (Event Over)

Event Over

Pittsburgh freak-folk, pysch-electronica outfit Black Moth Super Rainbow, named an “artist to watch” by Rolling Stone, is an enigmatic, six-piece band that got its start when one guy named Tobacco recorded on his four-track in his bedroom. Over the years, the group has grown and their sound has developed into a sweet, poppy, bouncy sound. On their latest CD, Eating Us (Graveface), produced by Mercury Rev’s Dave Fridmann, they have added some new flavors to their already well-established rainbow of sounds. There are dense layers of lushly complex orchestration, intensely rhythmic drumming by a live human, vocoder vocals that are anything but robotic, and thick, undulating bass tones. They have toured with the Flaming Lips and Aesop Rock.

Concerts take place outdoors at the ICA Harborwalk. In case of inclement weather, concerts will be moved to the ICA theatre.

Copresented with the ICA/Boston.
