Houndmouth (New Albany, Indiana)
Houndmouth and their unique mix of Indie Roots Rock and Blues formed in the summer of 2011. They found themselves at SXSW music festival in 2012 and in 2013 their debut album, From the Hills Below the City, was released which led to performances on Letterman, Conan, World Cafe, and several major festivals (ACL, Americana Music Festival, Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, and Newport Folk Festival). SPIN and Esquire.com named Houndmouth a “must-see” band at Lollapalooza.
On their new album Good For You, a collection of songs set in places as far-flung as the Alamo and the Hudson River, each populated by a motley cast of characters: fairy-tale princesses and vampires, parking-lot lovers and wanna-be beauty queens results in a lovingly gathered catalogue of those wild and fleeting moments that stay lodged in our hearts forever, taking on a dreamlike resonance.
In a departure from the shambolic spirit of past work like Little Neon Limelight (Their 2015 breakout, featuring the platinum-selling “Sedona”), Good For You bears a hi-fi minimalism that beautifully illuminates its finespun storytelling. Fresh off a sold-out tour playing with Rainbow Kitten Surprise this is yet another Sweet Pea performance you will look back upon and say, ‘I saw them back before they were huge!’ Definitely, a not miss performance.
