Matron Records presents: A Deer A Horse / Fox White / Snaggletooth
Wednesday, March 21st @ GHOST 8PM Doors / $5-10 Suggested Donation / All Ages
A Deer A Horse Rooted in Brooklyn's DIY scene and inspired by the chaos of their city, A Deer A Horse has grown into a relentless touring act over the years, clocking in almost 100 shows in 2017 alone, and garnering a nod by Audiofemme as one of the hardest working touring bands in the US. Formed in 2011 by former college classmates Rebecca Satellite (vocals/guitar) and Angela Phillips (bass/vocals), the band came into its own with the addition of drummer Dylan Teggart in 2015, as the thundering rhythm section began to channel the weight of their lyrical content.
Their 2017 release, Backswimmer, drew praise from the AV Club, which compared the unlikely marriage of doom metal dirges with vocal earworms to "the Melvins turning in a pop song, finding ways to keep a hook running through a song that’s otherwise grim and sludgy." The album captures the band in their most primal form, a collection of songs with pounding rhythms, enormous riffs and inescapable melodies.
A Deer A Horse recently wrapped their new album at Silver Cord Studio, home-base of French metal pioneers, Gojira, and are showing no signs of letting up their heavy touring schedule in 2018.
Fox White Fox White hits hard with a combo of metal riffs and punk energy. Local hero Jessie Deluxe leads the attack with acrobatic vocals that effortlessly cycle between elegant and fierce.
"Fast and aggressive with complementary departures into their operatic rock." -Jonny Leather, Mecca Lecca
