BROADWAY
PUNK
Mack Gilcrest, primary songwriter with Missoula, Montana-based
band Pale People, says his music celebrates the unpopular and
disaffected among us.
The trio is comprised of Gilcrest on piano and vocals, Kurt Skrivseth
on bass and guitar and Austin Graef on drums and percussion. The
band is touring to raise funds to release its second album, Portraits.
The record’s first single, “Steven,” is available now on the band’s
Soundcloud page and is a prime example of Pale People’s unique
sound, which Gilcrest describes as “Broadway punk.” Overall, Gilcrest
says he is inspired by the unconventional, such as reality TV star
Honey Boo Boo and internet porn.
“Most of our material ends up being about feeling beyond the
borders of human society,” Gilcrest says. But regardless of what
unusual things inspire him, Gilcrest's words are always couched
in darkly theatrical music that evokes Kurt Weill, Tom Waits or The
Dresden Dolls.
“You take the musicals of Stephen Sondheim,” Gilcrest says of Pale
People's sound, and mix it up with piano rock and weird prog-rock, and
throw in some jazz influences.
“If you were to take musical theater,” Skrivseth interjects, “and
compress it into three-minutes you’d be close — with less leotards.”
Pale People plays twice in Eugene alongside Seattle piano-rock
outfit Henry Mansfield and the Bearded Scooter Gang, first at 9 pm
Thursday, Jan. 5, at Old Nick’s Pub; $5, 21-plus. They perform the
following night 10 pm Friday, Jan. 6, at Black Forest with Captain
Wails and The Harpoons; FREE, 21-plus. — William Kennedy
