Like an avant-garde Voltron, Rangda has formed itself from the lions of Chris Corsano (Flower-Corsano Duo), Sir Richard Bishop (Sun City Girls), and Ben Chasny (Six Organs of Admittance). The group’s debut release, False Flag, was released earlier this year on Drag City. Now, alongside Major Stars, the three-part avant super robot of Rangda are going on a US tour to protect us from, well, something or other. You never really know with these guys!
