Fans growing impatient for the premiere of the new "Twin Peaks" series can revisit the fictional Washington town through its musical stylings next month.
On April 30, experimental music group Xiu Xiu will play a concert featuring songs from the cult classic at The Kitchen at 512 W. 19th St. in Chelsea.
“The music of Twin Peaks is everything that we aspire to as musicians and is everything that we want to listen to as music fans,” the band said in a statement. “It is romantic, it is terrifying, it is beautiful, it is unnervingly sexual.”
The set list will include songs written by composer Angelo Badalamenti for the David Lynch show, including a version of the "Twin Peaks" theme song, “Falling.”
The concert will take place a few weeks after Xiu Xiu releases an album of "Twin Peaks" song covers called “Plays the Music of Twin Peaks.”
In its statement, Xiu Xiu said its members were inspired by the show’s ability to “[hold] the ‘purity' of the 1950s up to the cold light of a violent moon and [expose] the skull beneath the frozen, worried smile.”
The band noted that it is not trying to recreate the music in its original form.
“It is too perfect and we could never do its replication justice,” the group said. “Our attempt will be to play the parts of the songs as written — meaning, following the harmony melody but to arrange in the way that it has shaped us as players.”
Tickets are $25 and will go on sale at 2 p.m. on March 31.
