Pilgrim, All Gods, Silver Triplets of The Rio Hondo

Pilgrim, out of Athens, GA, is the brainchild of songwriter/ multi instrumentalist Paul McHugh and supported by some of Athens’s best musicians from bands such as Cracker, Taxi Cab Verses, Normal Town Sound Machine, and many more. Pilgrim is rock and roll but it’s beautiful with intricate stories, vulnerability and a heavy dose of psychedelia you can dance and bang your head to.
Silver Triplets of the Rio Hondo is a psychedelic Western outfit conceived by William Slater, songwriter & founding member of art-psych heavyweights Grails and current member of Black Mountain. Its sound marries sequenced synthesizer/strings, noise collage, & drum programming to a set of barrel-chested crooners, lending the songs of the Triplets an eerie camp that could live as easily on a dilapidated cruise ship as inside a honky tonk bar. Ghost ballads floating about a dystopian waypost. Jim Reeves trying to claw his way out of the Tower of Song. Extra-terrestrial highway jazz. Sci-fi roadhouse music for dissociatives.
No whiny, no more tears, All Gods are a usually loud band of unapologetic adults with tiny little people inside them that say things like "More noise with cheap beer please."
