YOU, a local band, will be playing (along with a few other groups) tomorrow night at 8:00 in the coffee shop. Heres a bit about them: Conceived in March of 2013, Albuquerque New Mexicos YOU loves to stay busy. Staying true to their lifelong DIY ethic, it was only natural that they self-released 500 units of their Cadillac Sweep/Shining Atop the Pyramid 7 in October of 2013 which sold out after their East coast & Midwest tours, which led to them pressing 190 CD copies of their debut album Ambivalence in April of 2014 — which also sold out during the bands highly successful June/July 2014 US/Mexico tour. Guitarists Austin Morrell & Hiram Camp, bassist Alec Wilkes, and drummer Eric Lisausky have solidified their reputation as a must-see live act while playing alongside OF MONTREAL, MASERATI, AKRON/FAMILY, EL TEN ELEVEN, SLEEPY SUN, PINK MOUNTAINTOPS, TWEAK BIRD, BLACKBIRD BLACKBIRD, GOLD PANDA, M. GEDDES GANGRAS, ZORCH, CELESTIAL SHORE, MV & EE, SISTER GROTTO, HERBCRAFT, AMANDA X, MANNEQUIN PUSSY... In the 19 months the quartet has been together they have self-booked 3 tours consisting of countless shows in New Mexico, 47 out of state shows & 1 show in Mexico. “...brings switched-on desert melting jams of mirages made out of fermented cacti dreams. Impose Magazine ...shimmery psych-pop whispers of a million crushes before segueing into a full-tilt jam session. Alibi / Albuquerque,NM Storms of psychedelic grit and fuzzed-out metal rhythms create a vortex in their music, a palpable LSD flashback imbued with sheer panic. Local iQ / Albuquerque,NM ...their sound is epic and sweeping while still maintaining a bluesy touch..
