LOCAL/LIVE: JULY 10 – SOCIAL CATERPILLAR
POSTED:: July 5, 2018
FILED UNDER:: In-Studio Performances, Interviews, Local/Live, Special Programming
Self-described as a psychedelic chamber ensemble for the disobedient and melancholic youth, Milwaukee’s SOCIAL CATERPILLAR—a five-piece project composed of Kyle Smith on guitar and vocals, Eli Smith on Bass, Eric Ash on Violin, K-Rad on Cello, and Whisper Crystal on drums—has been playing and recording a unique style of music together since 2016.
Following their debut EP, Welcome to the Petting Zoo, SOCIAL CATERPILLAR have since released a split cassette with fellow Milwaukee artists SNAG titled A Dying Emperor Within a Dying Empire in December, 2017. Their latest work, Motorcycle in Three Movements (to be released on July 13th) is a collaboration with the Denver-based soundscape collective UTAJAHS and the band will embark on a two-week tour in support of the album beginning July 20th. In its acronymic form, S.O.C.I.A.L C.A.T.E.R.P.I.L.L.A.R, as the band often reminds their audience, means “Striving Onward Collectively and Illegally Against the Law Cosmic Art Terminates Every Relation of Power Instantly Limitless Love Amongst Rebellion”.
