Faun and a Pan Flute is a collectively-led experimental nonet from Atlanta, GA. Their restless soundscapes are both demented and uplifting; restrained yet chaotic; complex, but still accessible.
Though abstract, these avant-warriors provide a create-your-own-ending sort of narrative with their compositions, all based around primal rhythms and controlled chaos.
Although they've never made it this far northwest, they have shared bills with Snarky Puppy, Kamasi Washington and Marshall Allen (of the Sun Ra Arkestra) to name a few.
Armed with two guitars, bass, drums, percussion, marimba, tuba, saxophone and cello, they were voted “Best Band To Push Atlanta’s Boundaries” in 2015.
They plan on pushing ours at the Crystal Theatre in Missoula July 21 at 7:00 p.m. with Ovando and Charlie Apple (of Partygoers), and The Cottonwood Club in Bozeman July 22 with Annie Hall.
Advance tickets for the Crystal are available at Ear Candy Music in Missoula.
