Dan Melchior + the Depth Boys w/ Mike Fitzpatrick

Dan Melchior and the Depth Boys kick off their International Stalker Tour with an intimate show at the Grayhaven Motel in Ithaca, NY. The prolific and eclectic Dan Melchior first made a name for himself on the same Medway music scene that produced Billy Childish and Holly Golightly (and collaborated with both), but he's since gone on to carve out a more unique identity with his own take on lo-fi pop. Melchior began as an advocate of raw, scrappy music steeped in the blues on 1999's This Love Is Real, but 2002's Bitterness, Spite, Rage and Scorn added a large portion of low-tech garage rock. Gritty rock & roll with a pop sensibility defined 2011's Catbird and Cardinals, and he took a detour into experimental music with 2017's Melpomene, an exercise in distorted and manipulated sounds.
