at Turf Club

Vancouver’s Pink Mountaintops is on tour in support of his latest Peacock Pools (ATO Records).



We saw Pink Mountaintops in Aug 2017 and wrote, “He’s a metal head, progressive rock guru who makes you stare up at him like he’s Jim Baker waving us over to his cult to give up our lives…but in a really good way. He’s also proof that in these modern day, futuristic times we all reside in, you don’t need a bassist, drummer or backup vocalist…you can do everything yourself onstage with a little help from gnarly pedals, playback recordings and effects. It seems he’s perhaps mellowed out a bit since the sounds of his last LP Get Back, instilling more relaxed and cathartic melodies. His guitar solo in the track ‘I (f***) Mountains’, my god, he’s worth seeing just for that. It’s just beyond killer.”
