ARIEL PINK
Announces UK, European & US Tour Dates
Watch ‘Jell-O’ video
Pop surrealist Ariel Pink has announced he will return to the live arena this summer with his 7-piece band for a tour of the UK, Europe and north America. The live stint begins in May with five dates in Texas, and includes a one-off intimate show at London’s Bethnal Green Working Men’s Club on June 17th, plus appearance at Primavera, Best Kept Secret and Pitchfork festivals. Tickets for the London show go on sale on Friday 17th April at 9AM.
Having released his 17-track magnum opus pom pom late last year, the LA native follows his triptych of Grant Singer-directed videos (for ‘Put Your Number In My Phone’, ‘Picture Me Gone’ and ‘Dayzed Inn Daydreams’) with a new video for his demented kiddie tune ‘Jell-O’. Directed by Dan Kapelovitz, the footage is as visually dynamic as the song is catchy and captured in arresting psychedelic hues. It’s a fitting tribute to its co-writer, the late Kim Fowley, to whom the video is dedicated.

“Satirical, divisive, and more interested in terraforming genres than neatly deconstructing them.” Pitchfork (8.8 – Best New Music)
“Officially the only artist that has ever mattered in the history of popular music.” Tiny Mix Tapes
