Terrapin Stallion, a Grateful Dead and Ween tribute band, performs live at Icehouse in a psychedelic-themed haunted ball concert.
Terrapin Stallion play Icehouse on Saturday, October 24, with Dream of the Wild opening. The night is presented by MN Church of Spinners, and the whole thing is billed as a haunted ball and dance concert built around psychedelic covers. Terrapin Stallion describes themselves as an intergalactic cult devoted to the music of the Grateful Dead and Ween, and that's exactly what they're bringing to the stage: a set that pulls from both catalogs.
Dream of the Wild opens the bill with original music. They play an experimental fusion of psych-rock and jam-band vibes, so the night starts with their own material before Terrapin Stallion takes over with the covers. Between the two, you've got a full evening of improvisational, psychedelic-leaning music.
If you're not familiar with the two bands Terrapin Stallion covers, they're a distinct pair. The Grateful Dead are the gold standard for the jam-band tradition, known for long, wandering improvisations and a deep songbook. Ween is a different kind of weirdāa duo that jumps between styles and genres with a playful, often surreal sense of humor. Putting them on the same bill is a bit of a curveball, but it fits the "intergalactic cult" persona they've built around the project.
