Galaxy of Tar Plays Santos Party House on May 20th

DOWNLOAD: Galaxy of Tar - "Volatile Glass"

Galaxy of Tar Plays Santos Party House on May 20thLatin-psychedelia quartet Galaxy of Tar is playing record release show Santos Party House tomorrow night in support of their new disc Pneuma.

Galaxy of Tar features the soaring vocals of Naima Mora (winner of "America's Next Top Model") and the Latin-esque poly-rhythms and churning riffage of drummer / sonic-architect, Elias Diaz. The band "borrows equally from Diaz's Dominican roots and the industrial pulse of Brooklyn's transit system...to create an exquisite, liminal space between Santana's "Abraxas" and Tool's "Lateralus." Rounded out by the torn, metallic shards of Nemanja Rebic's guitars and the deep pockets of Samuel Fernandez's bass lines, Volatile Glass stands as a testament that, yes, there is great music coming out of New York City."

Cover for tomorrow night's show is $10 and the band is playing at 9:30PM.
