The Mountain Goats – Brooklyn Steel (Brooklyn, NY)
Songwriter and guitarist John Darnielle, bassist Peter Hughes, drummer Jon Wurster and multi-instrumentalist Matt Douglas play some of their biggest venues to date on this extensive headlining US tour. These shows follow a busy 2018 for the band, in which they co-produced several episodes (and a live event) of the acclaimed podcast I Only Listen to the Mountain Goats; wrote a song for WWE professional wrestler Sasha Banks (at her request); and surprise-released the Hex of Infinite Binding EP, earning immediate praise from NPR and Pitchfork, noting the songs' “vivid characters, both real and fictionalized, [employed] as conduits for complicated ideas."
