About our show this Sunday at the High Dive


This Sunday we're scheduled to open for Kelley Stoltz and Vetiver at the High Dive. Due to a death in Marie's family, we'll be playing a stripped-down, three-piece version of our set which should be an interesting flavor of Hellgate for the patrons of the High Dive to witness. It should be an over-all chill evening, at least according to what the Stranger wrote about it:



There's a peaceful easy feeling that pervades the music of both Vetiver and
Kelley Stoltz. The former are the neighbors of freak-folk: a breezy, laid-back
collective who borrow the back-porch aesthetic without sacrificing tunefulness
or melody. The latter is Sub Pop's criminally overlooked pop troubadour. You're
unlikely to find a record as buoyantly sunny as Stoltz's recently released
Circular Sounds. It's got a golden '70s AM-radio glow that radiates simpler,
more innocent times—a carefree, slacker vibe that saturates some finely written
pop nuggets. If you're looking for an evening of warm, unfussy music, this
double bill hits a grand slam.


Ben, David and I send our thoughts and condolences to Marie's family.
