White Hills
New York’s critically acclaimed WHITE HILLS has garnered a reputation as one of the most prolific bands of their generation, releasing 11 studio albums along with numerous EPS, singles and collaborations. Weaving elements of post-punk, krautrock, goth, metal and psychedelia in the spirit of Killing Joke, Bauhaus and The Birthday Party, the music made by core members Dave W. and Ego Sensation is risky and cutting edge, rooted in punk ethos and Stooges-style abandon. WHITE HILLS has toured extensively throughout Europe and North America and appear in Jim Jarmusch’s film Only Lovers Left Alive.
“It’s transcendent music, it’s ritual music, it’s about space and if you allow yourself to go on their journey, you’re gonna have some of the benefits that go along with breaking through to the other side.” -Ian Astbury (Lead Singer of The Cult)
“Dave W. and Ego Sensation have led the band to become simultaneously one of the best known and best kept secrets in live rock, a group that opens a vortex every time they hit the stage.”-PopMatters
“One of my favorite groups who ply the interstellar spaceways of rock”-Lenny Kaye
