Emerging eclectic sextet Dust City Opera, who entwine strands of grunge, gothic country, punk, folk, and rock as the soundtrack to stories steeped in cosmic horror, transformation, and transcendence, will be coming to Denver on Saturday, March 26 to headline Lion’s Lair in support of their new album, Alien Summer. Tickets are on sale now – PRESS HERE for details.
Alien Summer, due out Friday, March 4th, marks the sophomore independent full-length album from the Albuquerque-based band. The 12-track collection features their recent single “The Unkind” as well the previously released songs “An Okay Way To Go,” “It,” “Tile or Linoleum,” and “Stars.” As one final tease before the album’s release, Dust City Opera also issued the music video for new song “Angie” earlier this week – PRESS HERE to watch and listen. Alien Summer is available to pre-save on DSPs and pre-order on CD and vinyl – PRESS HERE.

Dust City Opera – Paul Hunton [vocals, guitar, songwriter], Clara Byom [clarinet, accordion, keys], Travis Rourk [trombone], Chris Livingston [lead guitar], Scott Brewer [bass], and Dave Purcell [drums] – materialized out of Albuquerque, New Mexico, but they might as well have slipped through some intergalactic portal or stowed away on a derelict spacecraft before crashlanding in the desert. After building a cult following and raising tens of thousands of dollars on Kickstarter to launch their next chapter, these six musicians perfect this otherworldly vision on Alien Summer, the follow-up to DCO’s 2019 full-length debut, Heaven. Alongside producer Matthew Tobias and thematic overdubs from GRAL Brothers, Dust City Opera expanded their sound on Alien Summer with cinematic flourishes and a grandiose backdrop befitting of the record’s overarching themes.
