Fruit Bats
Fruit Bats bring their full-band indie-rock sound to Union Transfer, with Sarah Klang. Led by Eric D. Johnson, the group’s music combines hazy vocals, expansive arrangements, psychedelic color, and emotionally open songwriting. The performance is expected to draw from *The Landfill*, Fruit Bats’ album centered on the metaphor of a landfill as a mountain built from the accumulated weight of the past, along with material from the band’s broader 25-year catalog.
The band’s current lineup features David Dawda on bass, Josh Mease on guitars and synthesizer, Frank LoCrasto on piano and synthesizer, and Kosta Galanopoulos on drums. Their live approach emphasizes the interplay and spontaneity of a trusted group of musicians, reflecting the collaborative full-band recording process behind *The Landfill*. The album’s songs explore memory, hope, anxiety, romance, failure, and the uncertain future, ranging from the title track and “That Goddamn Sun” to “Think Aboutcha” and “Perhaps We’re a Storm.”
