Miranda Lee Richards has played with the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club.
Drones, lconic alt-rock group out of depth. More drones. Charming elders of the old vanguard. A master of pink noise and symphonic expanse. Drones. Celtic aires. Gothic metal. Only at the 2016 Big Ears Festival.

Two dream pop singers approach moody songs from different directions. Warpaint bassist Jennylee goes toward dark and gothic minimalism while Maia Vidal brings a rhythmic vitality to her fragile songs.
