Bethany and Amanda comprise Pocahaunted. They look so happy – kinda like The Carpenters (if Richard was a girl and who knows) – however most of Pocahaunted’s music is buried in a murkier, ambient sort of dark primitive experimental sound. Bethany describes it as, “Talking Heads meets Cocteau Twins thrown into a blender after smoking a lot of weed.” Karen, are you listening? Fresh from L.A. Pocahaunted comes to The Crepe Place in Santa Cruz this Tuesday, July 27th at 9 PM.

Plan ahead, heads. They have the KZSC stomp of approval. (more…)
