Pencildive • Banff • Crab
About This Event
Pencildive, Banff and Crab take a mixed-genre bill at Union Pool. All three favor taut arrangements and direct hooks over theatrical flourishes: Banff serves as a concise, guitar-centered counterweight; Crab is framed by the record-world of Cate Le Bon’s Crab Day and its dry melodic turns; and Pencildive operates in the small-venue economy with a modest online footprint.
About the Artists
Pencildive
Pencildive is a Rock/Pop group in New York City’s live circuit, appearing on bills like the Union Pool night shared with Banff and Crab. Their set sits comfortably in mixed-genre lineups, where the room and the pacing matter as much as the hooks.
Banff
Banff is a rock/pop group heard on New York City bills like the Union Pool lineup with Pencildive and Crab. With a modest Spotify footprint (about 170 followers), the project reads as scene-adjacent rather than industry-scaled.
Crab
Crab is a rock/pop project that draws its frame from Cate Le Bon’s 2016 album *Crab Day*, cut in California with producers Josiah Steinbrick and Noah Georgeson and later echoed by a Berlin-set short film by artist Phil Collins.
