The Windmill presents:
Frontier Ruckus + Moon Panda
Frontier Ruckus + Moon Panda
Entry Requirements: 18+
The Windmill is ecstatically pleased to announce the return of this fine Michigan band that brought so much joy to a packed-out Windmill on several previous tours. They're back with a new album, "Enter The Kingdom" which was recorded by Wilco drummer Ken Coomer in Nashville and will be released on 17 February through Loose Music.
Wavering between the worlds of bluegrass, turn of the century broadsheets and today’s folk-pop, Frontier Ruckus is no mere revivalist outfit; rather more a synthesis of modernity with a rose glassed tint, and unwavering honesty…
This is flawless musicianship combined with a sheer joy of playing, displaying awesome harmonies, some tricky banjo and a singing saw!
“…delicate, finger-picked banjos, aching, oaky violin and the haunting voice of frontman Matthew Milia, who conjures what might happen had Neutral Milk Hotel’s Jeff Mangum been raised in a log cabin. Their songs are full of rich, rural details: frozen lakes, swaying trees, highway lights glowing in the deep night. Add to the mix baleful brass and trembling percussion, and you’ve got the perfect recipe for Gothic Americana.” – Rolling Stone

Moon Panda
Reminiscent of the dreamy soundscapes heard in Beach House, the music of Moon Panda is tender while capable of unleashing energy in the tradition of artists such as Jack White & The National. Lush harmonies akin to Bon Iver weave through metallic guitars & dense drums, creating walls of sound that engulf the listener in waves. Lyrics that are vulnerable & honest foster a genuine intimacy between the listener & song. https://www.facebook.com/MoonPanda/
