Pottery announce debut EP, touring with Viagra Boys (playing BV SXSW party too)

Montreal band Pottery have signed with Partisan Records and the label will release their debut EP, No. 1, on May 10. (In Canada it’s out via Royal Mountain.) The EP contains last year’s single “Hank Williams” and they’ve just shared new single “Lady Solinas,” which mixes post-punk, garage rock and prog in this tale of SCUM Manifesto author Valerie Solanas (who also famously tried to kill Andy Warhol in 1967). “The story is used to consider the power of passion in artists and its effect on their mental condition,” say the band. “Although the lyrics hold a serious message, the approach to convey it is ultimately comedic.” Check that out below.

Pottery will be heading to Austin for SXSW where their shows including the free BrooklynVegan day party on Thursday, March 14 at Mohawk. Stay tuned for the full lineup of that and all our shows.

The band will then join up with UK band Viagra Boys for their North American tour which starts March 20 in Los Angeles and makes its way East, hitting Brooklyn’s Rough Trade on April 5 (tickets). All dates are listed below.

Viagra Boys also play Brooklyn’s Elsewhere Zone One before SXSW and that show is sold out.
