Ducktails Perform “Academy Avenue” – Live at LPRpitchforktv

Friday, April 1 at the Mill – 9:00 p.m.
Featuring: Gem Jones, Monopoly Child Star Searchers

Ducktails will be in town Friday, April 1 at the Mill for the Pre-Mission Creek Festival Party, presented by KRUI.  Initially created as a solo outlet by Real Estate’s Matt Mondanile, Ducktails has evolved into a collaborative project spanning three albums. Their latest record, The Flower Lane, was released last month and infuses their already well-established indie/surf-rock style with electric jazz and R&B.

The new album has reviewed considerably well, in fact. BBC Music wrote, “This album sees Mondanile opting for subtlety over showmanship. In choosing to do so he has created a work of insidious beauty: creeping, pervasive and better for it.”

Insidious beauty? The Mill? What’s not to like?
