Wed 9/22, 8PM: Pink Skull live on WPRB

Listen to 103.3 fm WPRB on Wednesday, September 22nd at 8:00 pm ET as Jon Solomon welcomes one of Philadelphia’s finest, Pink Skull, into the studios for a live set.

For years I’ve done my best to dance along as fast as I can to the duo’s fascinating mixture of blips, bleeps, bumps and bloops. Over two albums, endless digital files and countless remixes I’ve always wanted to know how a pair this layered and dense in its sound could possibly pull off what they do on record live as a quintet.

Now I have seen for myself in the WPRB studios…and it is crazy.

As someone once wrote somewhere sometime:

The result of this balance parallels along the various lines of PIL’s Metal Box, The Orb’s Pomme Fritz EP, the tropicalia Dada-ism of Tom Ze, and Eno & Cluster. Living / breathing electronic music made beyond the computer screen for bigger screens, [Pink Skull] could easily soundtrack a remake of Videodrome as well as it could a Kubrickian classic.

Here’s video of the band silkscreening 1,000 copies of their most recent record “Endless Bummer”:
