Pontiak and Arbouretum coming up next Wednesday

09.02.08

Dudes coming on Wednesday. That’s Sept 10.

With a little luck, Burlington’s own (and Tick Tick neighbor and boat driver) Monoprix will be opening up.

Arbouretum and Pontiak are new labelmates on Thrill Jockey, out of Chicago, and they’ve recently released a split called Kale, on which they play some originals and some songs by John Cale.

Pontiak is made up of three southern brothers with charming names, personalities, and a love of healthy organic food. When they were here with Wye Oak in the spring we took them to Handy’s. Dale bought everyone McHandys, which cost about $15.

Take a listen! And then come out to the show, as soon as we can confirm where it is!

There’s Pontiak rocking a house party:
