Aussie garage rockers The Murlocs are coming to the Rickshaw this November with guest opener Shannon Lay.
Unfortunately due to some budget constraints, Grace Cummings will not be supporting The Murlocs any longer. The good news is Shannon Lay will now supporting the show.
The Murlocs
Five skinny kids with roots firmly placed in their own blown-out, distorted brand of soulful RnB. Formed in early 2011 by harp player Ambrose Kenny-Smith, The Murlocs have already played alongside Thee Oh Sees, Graveyard Train and Dave Graney.
Their up-tempo snare cracks and noisy doom guitar – accompanied by Ambrose’s vocal screech – has been described as a mesmerising demented dance party.
Shannon Lay
Shannon Lay is a singer, guitarist, and songwriter who first made a name for herself as part of the California garage punk scene, but would pursue a radically different solo career steeped in thoughtful, psychedelic-infused indie folk. As a songwriter, Lay’s work is impressionistic but has graceful melodies that suggest the influence of British and Celtic folk, while her acoustic guitar and vocals are powerfully emotive while maintaining an artful subtlety. Lay’s garage-influenced work with Feels is best heard on their 2016 debut album; she enjoyed a breakthrough as a solo artist with 2017’s Living Water, and after signing with Sub Pop Records, she cut a pair of ambitious and well-crafted LPs, 2019’s August and 2021’s Geist
