Combining music, spoken word, and visuals, London-based outfit Public Service Broadcasting crafts ethereal and mesmerizing post-rock that sources the majority of its vocals from public service announcements, documentaries, and other archival material. With a mission to "teach the lessons of the past through the music of the future," the band has covered everything from the Apollo space program to Welsh coal mining strikes and even Amelia Earhart's last flight - all in sonically inventive and enthralling ways. It’s nerdy in the best possible way, humane, and inspiring. The band will be playing at VAS ear with support from Wuhan act Sweet Sister Session - a cesspool of 1960s acid rock and space psychedelic music - with a sound dabbed in layers of electronic transistor organ, noise feedback, muddy guitar riffs, and distorted vocals. Righteous.
