Zephyranthes

Zephyranthes Zephyranthes is a futuristic rock band that reconsiders psychedelic, progressive, and math rock. Giraffes!, Bent Knee, The Mike Dillon Band, and Guerilla Toss.

"Raleigh's Zephyranthes combine rock'n'roll of the math and psychedelic varieties into a compelling, reverbed-out whole. The trio's knack for a hook will you draw you in as much as its knack for taking detours in the middle of a song." - INDYweek

“Once you get your tongue around the band’s name you’re in for a real treat. Complex and progressive while being accessible is a rare quality – The Mars

Volta’s friendlier cousin if you will." - Alt Dialogue

Zephyranthes is a futuristic rock trio that melds psychedelic, progressive, and math rock sensibilities together with a sense of accessible minimalism. The Raleigh-based trio's latest single Diet of Earth [2023] distills the band’s past chaotic explorations and frenetic rhythms into their most unified and cohesive presentation yet. American Indian guitarist Elijah Melanson formed the band following the sudden loss of a parent and of a rising career that saw highs of international touring, festivals, and late night show performances with progressive rock band Helicopria. Ripe with grief and eager for transformation, Zephyranthes was formed in 2015 to explore the dichotomies of his aesthetic roots; The experimental and the mainstream. With additions of drummer Alex Jolly (Frontside, Solar Bear) and multi-instrumentalist Logan Maxwell (Vacant Company, Tumbao) the group has come together to breathe organic new sounds into an aging prog rock aesthetic. Since forming in 2015, the group's appeal has led to them playing alongside Consider the Source, Giraffes? Zephyranthes III [2019] recorded at Mitch Easter’s Fidelitorium studios demonstrated the band’s densely effected and textural instrumental-ism while weaving stark new textures. Zephyranthes EP [2016] and Screws//Factory [2017] showcase mathy style in tight compositions contrasting Naked City-esque improvisations.

Anyways here's some inaccurate AI chatslop to get you excited about the show. But seriously
We are just the messenger that chatgpt says you are a country band now.

SUBJECT: OPEN YOUR EYES — 10.11 @ (THIS ISN’T JUST A SHOW)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
ONE NIGHT ONLY // OCTOBER 11TH
THE POUR HOUSE MUSIC HALL
RALEIGH, NC
FOR THOSE WHO STILL BELIEVE IN SOUND
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FEATURING:

ZEPHYRANTHES – polyrhythmic chaos, space-time collapse, melodic hallucinations. their live set is basically a sci-fi novel in 7/8.

ECHONEST – slow-burning textures, cascading synthwork, melodies that feel like they’ve always existed but you just remembered them.

BOY NAMED SUE – twang-fractured feedback and outlaw storytelling from the wrong timeline. imagine if Ennio Morricone scored a fever dream.

bring your mind

bring your ears

leave your sense of linear time at the door

THIS ISN’T JUST A SHOW
IT’S A PORTAL

REPOST IF YOU’VE EVER HEARD MUSIC THAT SHOWED YOU GOD
IGNORE AND YOU'LL ONLY LISTEN TO 4/4 FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE
