Crafting a musical cocktail evocative of ‘60s and ‘70s rock with a distinct theatrical flair, The Lemon Twigs burst onto the scene last year with its fourth release, Everything Harmony, even garnering personal praise from icons of the industry like Questlove. The band is fronted by brothers Michael and Brian D’Addario, who grew up in Long Island with musical parents who passed onto them an obsession with The Beatles at an early age. They first formed the band as teenagers, releasing their debut, Do Hollywood, at ages 17 and 19. Pitchfork writer Sophie Kemp describes the project saying, “[it channels] inspiration from Ziggy Stardust and Marc Bolan; fussy, baroque and extremely complicated, their music glows beneath black lights.” The Lemon Twigs are touring in support of its new album, A Dream is All We Know, recently released on May 3. Opening the show is Crystal Egg, a band that performs punkish, yet poetic and dreamy music using only drums, synth and vocals.
