Mother Brain are proud to present a fierce and frightful night of noise rock on Halloween!
Rightfully hailed as “the noisiest pop music on the planet” by Pitchfork, the American cult noise rock trio Cherubs have been purveyors of sonic bedlam since their inception in 1991. They will be supported by new noise sensations Rid of Me, as they hit Europe for the very first time…
After an unforeseen return to the scene from a two-decade hiatus in 2014, the Cherubs have now joined forces with the equally revered Relapse Records for the release of their fifth long-player Inmaculada High. Recorded and engineered by Erik Wofford (Explosions in the Sky, The Black Angels, My Morning Jacket) at Cacophony Studio in Austin, Inmaculada High is 11 songs of signature Cherubs clamor with an added twist of Texas-sized, psychedelic racket.
Smooth, rumbling low-end rhythms interplay with feedback drenched, chuggin’ guitars, relentless tone and vocalist Kevin Whitley’s shrill, life-of-the-LSD-party vocals. On Immaculada High, Cherubs loudly proclaim their title as bonafide noise rock legends who continue to forge transgressive yet remarkably accessible punk for a jaded world.
Following Immaculada High, Cherubs tapped Brutal Panda Records to reissue their legendary catalog including a remastered version of Icing, the band’s iconic debut. Heroin Man (1994’s noise rock masterpiece) and 2 Ynfynyty (the triumphant comeback album) are also back in circulation to rattle speakers and fry brains. The cacophony legacy of Cherubs is now readily available for all to experience…and far from finished.
“Cherubs are sprouting from adversity with a gritty throwback sound tinged with influences of hardcore, pop and the noise rock that they started with” – Alt Press
“Playing to my tastes and biases, Rid Of Me really revel in the ’90s grunge sound without becoming a parody or losing their own identity” – The Perfect Balance
