Pick A Piper

Saturday, June 18th - Burlington Hyundai Community Stage - 3:00pm

Pick a Piper are a collective featuring Brad Weber of Caribou with friends Angus Fraser, Dan Roberts and Clint Scrivener. The band are known for their sweaty, energetic, drum-crazy live shows, where audience members become a part of the band by the time the set has finished.

"Having four sets of hands play drums at once with only five musicians on stage may sound complicated, and it is. But Pick a Piper are a band that plans. Their entirely danceable CMW show combined spooky psychedelia and fanfare undertones with the instrumental complexity that had people crammed into every nook of Rancho Relaxo to watch rock adopt a smart, electro mentality."

"[Pick a Piper] leave no sonic stone unturned: flute, trumpets, glockenspiel, flutes, hand claps, bells, and basically anything you can hit to make a sound. But more than anything it’s the percussion assault that gets you. Their music doesn’t just have a beat, it’s multi-rhythmic. It’s expansive, it’s communal. It feels put together from the best parts of a bunch of disparate sounds that only make sense when they’re together."
