aunt dracula + high places

Aunt Dracula is a three piece psychedelic, “all over the map brilliant”, pop trio from Philadelphia, PA that consists of Scott Daly (vocals, guitar, samples, auto harp, kalimba chimes, percussion), Dan Pell (percussion, vocals, keyboards, samples) and Ash Andrien (guitars, samples, and vocals). Often compared to bands such as My Bloody Valentine, Animal Collective and the Velvet Underground, Aunt Dracula combines bubbling, slippery electronics, brutal poly-rhythms and shimmery, rippling guitar textures to great effect. Top it off with their knack for vocal acrobatics and you end up with a live performance that is nothing short of a spectacle. Tapping into genres such as Tropicalia, Folk, Punk, Free Jazz, Minimalisim, No Wave, and Electronica, Aunt Dracula’s feverish stage energy and wild, yet lock-tight experimental arrangements have been garnering a steady stream of buzz since their first performances earlier this year. The band will be wrapping up a 25 plus date tour in support of their debut full length, Face Peel due out on Uniform Records in the US on November 6th. Often incorporating visual projections or performance art, live shows are always a surprise and have in the past including surreal guests such as a waffle making werewolf.
