INTRODUCING THE BAND....AMARGOSA!

- Their name, borrowed from a desert region located in the dried shores of Death Valley, and their members, all of whom live in the snowy trenches of southern Vermont, Amargosa is a band who stretches both rock music and the word “crescendo” as wide as two oceans apart. Their music is uniquely instrumental— a raw medley of everything the 21st century has admired about the feeling melodic distortion, bass and drums can give to a single person during a live experience. Since vocals are absent from their set, the band writes compositionally, allowing a certain liberty in developing a vast array of musical influences, patience and momentum in creating an epic climax to their pieces-- or just beautiful, crushing sound. They rehearse a few times a week in a one-room studio until their ears ring, and have chosen to release their debut album themselves. Letting the right ears ring at once.

- Amargosa will accompany GUTWorks during the rehearsal process for THIS IS THE PLACE OF PARTING. During this time GUTWorks and Amargosa will score a soundtrack for the entire show! Once completed the soundtrack will be available for sale, but much better than that you will have the privilege and pleasure to hear and watch Amargosa play live along with every performance of THIS IS THE PLACE OF PARTING! Check out more about Amargosa.
