  • Archie Pelago will play a pair of Californian dates beginning at SF's As You Like It on May 15th. The Brooklyn trio, who emerged with an EP for Mister Saturday Night before launching their own Archie Pelago Music imprint, integrates cello, trumpet and sax into live electronic performances. The group's mix of live and programmed sounds has made them a darling in the music tech community—the trio has worked closely with Ableton in the past. Archie Pelago cellist Cosmo D. recently made inroads into another DIY, tech-savvy world, designing a vintage-style video game called OFF-PEAK, which "casts you into a cathedral-like train station in the near future, searching for a ticket out of town." After Friday's AYLI show alongside heavy-hitters Maya Jane Coles and Martyn, Fine Time and Far Away will present an immersive experience in LA in which the OFF-PEAK game will be projected on the walls of the venue while the band provides a live soundtrack. Archie Pelago Music affiliate Sage Caswell has been tapped for opening duties, along with Cooper Saver and Ford Prefect. Tickets to the San Francisco event are available on RA.
