PygmyLush, Nervous & Braveyoung touring (not together), playing Saint Vitus (together); Ejecta plays BK tonight

PygmyLush @ Saint Vitus 2012 (more by Fred Pessaro)
Pygmy Lush

“While Pygmy Lush‘s pedigree wouldn’t exactly scream (pun intended) soft-spoken folk, psychedelia, and post-rock, the former members of pg.99 and City of Caterpillar handle the duties well on their current LP, Old Friends. The Kurt-Ballou-produced record, which appeared via Lovitt earlier this year, is exactly as their surname implies, lush. It’s also spacious, pensive, emotional and enthralling.” [Fred Pessaro, 2011]

Pygmy Lush, who we last caught in 2012 when they opened for Young Widows at Saint Vitus, are hitting the road for some shows including one this Sunday (June 8) back at Saint Vitus with The Body collaborators Braveyoung, Oakland hardcore band Nervous (mem. of Loma Prieta & Lewd Acts), and CT’s Nerveshatter.

All of PygmyLush‘s dates are listed below, and include another show with “anarcho grungy noise punk” band Nervous who have a fuller tour also listed in full below (the tour we teased was coming.

For Portland post rock band Braveyoung, Sunday’s Vitus show is the 2nd of two NYC shows. The first is free tonight (6/6) at Brooklyn Night Bazaar as part of a Gorilla Vs Bear presented two day event. Also on tonight’s show is the often naked Ejecta, the Ninja Tune signed Joey Bada$$ affiliate Lee Bannon, and friend of Animal Collective Dent May. Saturday is Austra affiliate DIANA, Las Rosas, and a secret guest (hint: hip hop) TBA Saturday morning. Flyer below.

In 2011, Braveyoung released a collaborative album with The Body who more recently released a collaboration with Thou who they’re touring with in July (two NYC shows included). All of their dates are listed with everything else and some songs, below…
