Saturdays Off the 405: Pickwick
Saturday July 13, 2013
6 pm - 9 pm
Museum Courtyard, Getty Center
With a smooth neo-soul sound, Pickwick has matured beyond their folksy Americana roots. The passionate vocals of lead singer Galen Disston becomes incendiary when paired with anxious guitars that evoke Television and T. Rex. Their new album, Can't Talk Medicine, was recorded in a living room, giving it a raw urgency that lingers long after the tracks are over.
