Woodpecker!
After a long sabbatical with band member journeys to Vietnam,
Thailand, Mongolia, Japan, Peru, and Buenos Aires, Woodpecker! is
playing its first live show in over a year. We'll be performing a
bevy of new songs as well as old. We'll also be introducing two new members to the band - A.J. Abucay (drums) and Alejandro Haaker (upright), while sadly bidding farewell to Michell Yu who has graced us with her fiddle for the past five years (as she is off to Boston for her residency). So, come to welcome us back and properly send off Michelle!
"Brooklyn’s Woodpecker! originally set out to play bluegrass-style
covers of punk tunes. Now the group’s doing originals, but it has
found other ways to sound contemporary: clever, wordy lyrics
and sophisticated hooks that betray
a penchant for indie pop" -- TIME OUT NY

nihiti (acoustic performance)
nihiti… relies on the coexistence of electronic music with acoustic instruments to create a sound that is alternately tense, foreboding, and intricate in the most intriguing ways. A cerebral effort in line with This Heat, late-period Talk Talk, Gastr del Sol, and other heavy hitters of recent decades, and a group that is worth the considerable effort to investigate. – Other Music Featured Pick, 1/4/2011
Song structures weave from straight up danceable near-goth anthems, to completely disassembled and almost entirely heartbreaking ambient pieces… completely disassembling the structural elements of [these] seemingly paint-by-numbers pseudo-genres and very, very genuinely and very, very creatively forcing something new to exist. – Insound.com Record of the Week, 11/1/2010
Time doesn’t exist in realms that nihiti crawls… It spans everything sinister, no matter its assigned genre. – Altered Zones, 11/9/2010
