Ariel Pink at FYFest (more by Rachel Carr)

Following a stint of dates with The Flaming Lips (none of which hit NY, or contain all of The Soft Bulletin) Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti will hit the road with the Brazilian Tropicalia greats Os Mutantes to play a string of shows including Fun Fun Fun Fest in Austin and Webster Hall on Nov 13th. Webster Hall ticket info is forthcoming.

Though previously believed and later postulated, Ariel Pink WASN'T a member of the "LA Supergroup" who played a show at a greater Police State, er, Los Angeles art gallery over the weekend....

With an art exhibit dedicated to the darker forces of Los Angeles, Esteban Schimpf may have gotten what he asked for inviting a mystery band called Highons to play his closing reception.

The secret Schimpf set up was that Ariel Pink would be one of the masked members irking out strange noises in the corner of Carmichael Gallery. But either Pink grew a few inches since FYF Fest, or the guy wearing a silver space suit was somebody else, an impostor. And they would have gotten away with it, had an intrepid reporter not gotten involved...

...When asked [after the show], the silver spaceman refused to remove his mask and disappeared. A girl walked by and whispered, "Hey, that was my roommate and his friends. That was not Ariel Pink." Doo doo hit the fan.

Yesterday, Schimpf said he was still "in the dark" about the Ariel Pink mystery. "But I don't care," he said. "It was a great show and everyone liked it and had a good time."

All of Os Mutantes' records from back in the day can be found at the local record store, Tropicalia in the East Village. Big shout out to Joel and all the wonderful music he's bringing to NY (and the rest of the world, for that matter)from Brazil. Go support such a fine and unique record store, my fellow Vegans.
