Austin band Moonsicles is something of an early 2000s dream team. The band consists of Carolyn Cunningham of Pillow Queens, Aaron Russell and Lindsey Verrill of Weird Weeds, and Sheila Scoville of Ichi Ni San Shi and No Mas Bodas. The group creates austere, layered soundscapes that sound exactly liked you’d expect from a band called Moonsicles. The songs are sprawling dreams of lunar landscapes. We are floating through an icy, glowing environment. Somewhere space icicles are melting slowly, beautifully drip drip dripping. The group used the Austin show as a launchpad for a short set of tour dates. The band will play Colorado Springs, Marfa, and another Austin date in the coming week. Catch them at Spiderhouse on July 16th; check out pictures from the Cheer Up show below.
