Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Sibling Ribaldry

The Fiery Furnaces are not your typical family band. Centered on brother-sister duo Matthew and Eleanor Friedberger, the Thrill Jockey signees draw from curious childhood experiences growing up in a family of musicians to create a provocative, at times precocious fusion of pop roots and sprawling, semi-orchestral sound. The Von Trapps they ain’t. Wednesday, June 23, they’ll be at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge with Burlington psych-rock duo The Vacant Lots.
