Overview

Cult favourite Ariel Pink is bringing his gritty lo-fi band - Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti - back to Australia for a string of shows this month. With a sound that spans across the obscurest of genres including freak folk, noise pop and lite FM, Ariel Pink still manage to draw in the masses with his totally danceable sound.

Starting out as a solo artist, Ariel Pink is the perfect example of a completely unique yet successful DIY musician. Not only does he record, produce and play almost all of this own music, he also creates his own recorded drum sounds using his mouth and sometimes armpits. Not to mention that he’s recorded over 500 songs on cassette and released 11 albums. This approach to creating music as well as his huge range of influences leaves you with songs that could be mistakenly taken from another era.

Having been featured by Pitchfork music in their “Best New Music” category for his latest album and being the only non-member of Animal Collective to be release on their record label Paw Tracks, it’s quite clear that we could name drop about him all day. Instead, check out Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti at The Zoo for an entertaining and intriguing night of music.
