From the venue:
Originally “Sex Cult†before a cease-and-desist prompted a name change, Ex-Cult comes to Atlanta for a garage-punk extravaganza on Sat., May 17, accompanying the release of its second LP, Midnight Passenger (Goner). In 2012, the Memphis-based five-piece befriended superhero Ty Segall, who helped produce the group’s lauded self-titled debut. On Midnight Passenger, Ex-Cult’s signature lean and biting dissonance gets tighter, cleaner, and more textured, incorporating hardcore and psychedelia in the midst of vocalist Chris Shaw’s acerbic yelps.
