Earth Tongue in Hamden

Earth Tongue is a New Zealand heavy-psych duo formed in Wellington by guitarist and vocalist Gussie Larkin and drummer and vocalist Ezra Simons. Fuzz-heavy riffs, dual vocals and compact arrangements shape albums including Floating Being and Great Haunting. Earth Tongue toured Europe following Floating Being and performed at Roadburn Festival in Tilburg; the duo later opened for Queens of the Stone Age on the band’s New Zealand dates. Their concerts retain the two-person setup, with Gussie Larkin on guitar and Ezra Simons on drums, and both musicians singing.
