Xiu Xiu recently announced a special show at the Masonic Lodge at Hollywood Forever! The band will perform the music of David Lynch TV series Twin Peaks on Thursday, October 29. Tickets for this show will go on sale Friday, July 24, at 12:00 p.m. via Ticketfly for $25.00 each plus service fees.
Xiu Xiu performed the music of Twin Peaks earlier this year at the Gallery of Modern Art in Australia. Singer Jamie Stewart described the music as “everything that we aspire to as musicians and is everything that we want to listen to as music fans. It is romantic, it is terrifying, it is beautiful, it is unnervingly sexual. The idea of holding the ‘purity’ of the 1950s up to the cold light of a violent moon and exposing the skull beneath the frozen, worried smile has been a stunning influence on us. There is no way that we can recreate Badalamenti and Lynch’s music as it was originally played. It is too perfect and we could never do its replication justice. Our attempt will be to play the parts of the songs as written, meaning, following the harmony melody but to arrange in the way that it has shaped us as players.” Click below to see Xiu Xiu perform the music of Twin Peaks this “Rocktober”! (It is the band’s only U.S. show for this performance.)
