The Mountain Goats

“This is literary rock as it should be.”—Robert Christgau

Led by singer/songwriter John Darnielle, the Mountain Goats return to the Wex in support of their upcoming release Beat the Champ (Merge Records), a collection of songs about professional wrestling due out April 7. “I wrote these songs to re-immerse myself in the blood and fire of the visions that spoke to me as a child,” Darnielle notes, “and to see what more there might be in them now that I’m grown.” Author of the New York Times bestselling novel Wolf in White Van, Darnielle’s dark, wry wit and literate approach guarantees his many fans will savor his latest songs, as well as enjoy hearing past favorites played live.
