Hudson Valley punk rock rabble-rouser Michael Truckpile steps out from behind the drumkit to front his new experimental, electronic rock super group, Lunar Figurine, formed to perform the music from his 2020 studio release Cracked In Two.

Music critic John Burdick describes the album as “dividing its time between modernist, pattern-based indie pop and a glitchy, politically volatile electro punk livid with contemporary American rage and despair”, noting that the anthemic We Are the People nods to T-Rex in its celebration of community over hyper-capitalism.

To translate the dense electronic soundscapes of the studio album into an engaging, live performance, Truckpile has assembled a powerhouse, multi-generational live band with members ranging in age from 25 to 81. Michael's mother, Marta has five decades of performing rock music under her belt, holding down the intricate keyboard lines with an energy and intensity not found in most performers half her age. Bassist Jackson Speller is a local virtuoso who was recently a featured artist at the Midnight Ramble at Levon Helm's barn. Guitarist Alanna Rebbeck and drummer Carlos Bible round out the group with decades of playing and performing between them, solidifying the band into a live tour de force.

“It feels like a faint and distant dream bursting into reality to be playing these songs with such a talented group of friends and family. Everyone in the group is so individually talented and so collectively vibrant, bringing so many different sonic textures and influences, completely making these songs come alive.” –Michael Truckpile
