Wednesday July 29th April + VISTA - Fly On The Wall Tour Summer 2026 w/ Evil \*\*\* April + VISTA is the musical project of the Virginia-raised singer/composer April George and the Maryland-raised composer/producer Matthew Thompson. In a decade-plus of activity, the duo garnered international acclaim with an oeuvre both deeply invested in excavating the impacts of human existence and unbound by the trappings of simple classification. Their first major break came with 2018’s You Are Here, followed by supporting runs with Little Simz, Little Dragon, and Mura Masa. Their 2021 follow-up Pit of My Dreams channeled the duo’s internal and external frustrations into a snapshot of the ripples of burnout, pushing their experimentation to its roughest and darkest edges. 2023 brought April + VISTA one of their biggest crossover moments to date: Slipping Into Color - a collaborative EP with Little Dragon, made on a trip to Gothenburg, Sweden - came out on the legendary Ninja Tune label. Little Dragon’s 2023 North American and European tours soon followed, with April + VISTA as direct support. April + VISTA’s set to release their debut album Traditional Noise: an exploration of the formative music of their youth, twisting deeply familiar sounds into strange new territory in an effort to upend the notion of popular music. The album’s an exercise in unlocking the feelings and noises of nostalgia to address this life’s persisting anxieties. \*\*\* Evil adjective \-Morally bad or wrong; wicked. "an evil tyrant." \-Causing ruin, injury, or pain; harmful. "the evil effects of a poor diet." \-Characterized by or indicating future misfortune; ominous. "evil omens." Ask yourself what you feel when you see this word. Ask yourself what you think and most importantly ask yourself what you hear. To exist in a world so corrupted by wickedness and rotted by greed and hate the artist Evil asks, are we born evil or are we bred? Evils music aims to uncover the truth behind the seemingly inherent wickedness that rules our world through the individual conduit. Starting with themselves as the subject. Evil is making music about complex relationships with queer identity, faith and race. Backed by a banjo lost deep in the foothills of the shenandoah valley with their dark alternative country music Evil wants to confront the evilness within themselves and hope you are inspired to do the same.
