Pelt

Pelt is an American drone group formed in Richmond, Virginia, by the violinist Mike Gangloff. The band started with loud electric guitars and psychedelic rock, then moved toward long improvised drones played on fiddle, harmonium, bowls, bells, banjo and other acoustic instruments. For more than ten years the line-up included the guitarist Jack Rose. In 1995 Mike Gangloff brought in Patrick Best and the guitarist Jack Rose, who stayed until 2006 and died in 2009. Mikel Dimmick and Nathan Bowles joined later.
