SUMMARY:The Mountain Goats @ Powerstation
DESCRIPTION:Live\, The Mountain Goats are John Darnielle\, Peter Hughes\, and Jon Wurster. \nJohn Darnielle is one of the most imaginative lyricists of his generation. Since he sat down cross-legged with an acoustic guitar in front of a boom box and pressed record for the first time – more than a decade ago – skewed characters\, vibrant images and perfectly-framed narratives have flowed in the hundreds. \nThe Mountain Goats released their latest album ‘The Life of the World to Come’ in 2009\, recorded in three studios across three states it features string arrangements by Owen Pallett (Final Fantasy)\, who has also worked in a similar capacity with the varied likes of Arcade Fire\, Fucked Up and the Pet Shop Boys. The Life of the World to Come is their sixth album for 4AD\, and is less a profession of religious faith than an immersion in Biblical poetry and imagery. The songs take their cue from verses that have either informed or inspired them.

And the You Me Everybody band are definitely ‘brilliant’.\nYou\, Me\, Everybody hit the road in 2026 for a national tour celebrating Midnight\, their new album exploring the moment where one day ends and the next begins.

Midnight captures the tension and possibility of life’s turning points\, brought to life onstage through rich harmonies\, bold instrumental interplay\, and great storytelling.
