Strangled Darlings brings a punk intensity to their live show. Taking a cello and making it a hip hop bass. Taking mandolin and slapping it like a stubborn mule. The Portland based duo has been creating original tunes since 2009 and breaking the mold for what hipsters consider indie music. They bring a lyrical intelligence and political punch to songs that otherwise might have just been another break up song. Their song material focuses more on witchcraft in the Civil War, the morality of Somali piracy and the curse of Anna Nicole Smith's breast implants. The band has released three studio albums and a fourth is due out this fall. Their live show mixes technical mastery with deadpan humor and a little something to shake your rumpus.

Strangled Darlings are from Portland, Oregon. They have toured the New England, the West Coast and the Northwest, including Alaska. They are embarking on an extended US tour to support their upcoming 2014 release of “Boom Stomp King”. The album focuses soley on the duo sound; the current touring set-up. Boom Stomp King is a record about objects, shelter, the ephemeral nature of your history.

Strangled Darlings are:
George Veech: vocals, mandolin, harmonica
Jessica Anderly: vocals, cello/bass­­­­­­­
