Palberta

Palberta with Cult Objects & The Ire at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia 8PM - Doors 9PM - The Ire 10PM - Cult Objects 11PM - Palberta PALBERTA In an industry that favors niche branding and subgenre packaging, Palberta is a difficult band to place. Their music is free and uninhibited in a way that makes it all their own. Often, Palberta songs are marked with a child-like communication -- chants and lullabies are met with snarling tantrums, while their instruments coo and careen towards an often abrupt finish. Their playful approach to writing produces work that is as hyper-emotional as it is jarring, and as soothing as it is sinister. Palberta was formed when Lily Konigsberg, Anina Ivry-Block, and Nina Ryser met while attending college in Upstate NY. They honed their sound in basements across the Hudson valley, and quickly gained a reputation for their brazen and feverish live shows. Through prolific touring and recording, they have developed a dedicated nation-wide following without the aid of a major label. In their formative years, Palberta’s live performances often involved moments of synchronized dancing and humorous performance art in between songs or during them. Over the course of the last 7 years, they have developed a reputation as a “must-see” live band on the DIY circuit, honing in on a distinct and arresting sound incorporating gorgeous three part harmonies into their chaotic grooves. CULT OBJECTS Cult Objects is three best friends who live in a tree stump and scream about toxic relationships and the American healthcare system.
