The Antarcticans

The Antarcticans are a Los Angeles-based instrumental band that has been building epic-sonic landscapes since 2001. The Antarcticans' music has been compared to ghosts, glacial avalanches, dreams about flying & then falling, violence, cowboys dying alone in the desert, and having your face smashed with a thousand guitars. The Antarcticans have performed at numerous venues and college radio stations around Los Angeles as well as along the California coast. In 2005, the band performed at the South by Southwest Music Festival in Austin, Texas. The Antarcticans have also played with acts such as Acid Mothers Temple, Deerhoof, Kinski, and Mono. In 2004, the band released their self-titled album on CD and LP, which features all hand-made artwork and packaging. "The Antarcticans" was released on TheNewBlackMusic label, and is available at stores worldwide through Cobraside Distribution. They are currently recording their second album, which will be released in early 2006. The Antarcticans can be heard on KXLU 88.9 (Los Angeles, CA), KSPC 88.7 (Claremont, CA), KFJC 89.7(San Jose, CA), KFMU 91.1 (New Jersey), KCRW 89.9 (Los Angeles, CA), WXYC 89.3 (Chapel Hill, NC), and many others...
