Pelican

Here at the Brudenell are really excited to welcome back the tour de force that is PELICAN!

and also a very special tour support for this show JK FLESH (Justin Broadrick of Godflesh, Final and Jesu) in his first ever appearance in Leeds.

This is going to be an absolutely incredible show for all you instrumentalists!

Pelican is a post-metal quartet from Chicago, Illinois. Established in 2000, the band stems from their native post-metal scene and is known for their atmospheric and entirely instrumental style. They have released four studio albums and four EPs and gained television exposure.

The band is known for its dense combinations of different melodies and extended track lengths. Its distinctive sound draws from stoner rock, doom metal, post-rock, and other influences. Larry Herweg, Trevor de Brauw, and Laurent Schroeder-Lebec also make up three-quarters of the band Tusk.

Previously signed to Hydra Head Records (which is owned and operated by Aaron Turner of Isis), Pelican is now part of the Southern Lord Records roster.

In 2012 Pelican announced the release of their new E.P titled Ataraxia/Taraxis.

In April 2012 they also embarked on a European and UK tour, playing several shows across England as well as shows in Italy, Germany, Finland, the Dunk Festival in Belgium and the Roadburn Festival in the Netherlands. The support bands for this tour included Bo Ningen and Tacoma Narrows Bridge Disaster in the UK, and Tombs in Mainland Europe. And in June 2012, they notified the public of the absence of Laurent.
