Kubrick or Lynch? A Conversation with BRONCHO

8/10/17

Ah, Pitchfork Festival. This is our favorite fest – it books many of the bands that speak to us the most. I have to admit, I was slow for press bookings this year…I did not secure many interviews, but the one I did get…. boy it was a good one. One of my favorite bands as of late, BRONCHO, was playing an aftershow at Subterranean.

So iconic, in fact, it was chosen by the Library of Congress to be preserved in the National Recording Registry in 2005.
