Seven Days: Vermont's Independent Voice

Flying Solo

When most artists take time away from their bands to pursue solo projects, it is often because they want try something new and different. But what if you’re Tobacco, whose own band, Black Moth Super Rainbow, is already about as far outside the box as pop music can be and still be (loosely) called pop? Well, you push it even further, of course. Touring in support of Fucked Up Friends, a deliriously challenging, disorienting and wondrous new record, the enigmatic front man appears at the Higher Ground Showcase Lounge this Friday with Junk Culture and Dream End.
