Palm Ghosts
Nashville trio Palm Ghosts describes their sound as “an ’80s prom in a war zone,” which is funny but also catches the attitude. The sound of their recent recordings (they’ve been prolific lately) nails ’80s post-punk/goth/electropop/etc. but with a thoroughly modern sensibility and a strong sense of melody and catchy songcraft. Very appropriate Madison openers are new wave experimentalists Educational Davis and no wavers Mumbumper.
media release: Local new wave / post-punk bands Educational Davis and Mumbumper welcome Nashville's post-punk legends Palm Ghosts as they stop at Madison's Gamma Ray Bar on their Midwest tour this summer!

Palm Ghosts - Epic post-punk with a heavy pop sheen from Nashville. South Africa’s Jangle Pop Hub has said the band has “An inimitable 80’s style dream pop that mixes the avaricious swirl of The Cocteau Twins, the atmospherics of The Cure and the grandiosity of Echo and The Bunnymen”

Mumbumper - Exciting new no-wave snot-rockers from Madison. Super fresh and full of quirky attitude.
