Pelt is a drone music group formed in Richmond, Virginia in 1993. The band was originally formed in 1993 by violinist Mike Gangloff. The rest of the early lineup left on the verge of series of live dates, and in 1995 Gangloff recruited Patrick Best and guitarist Jack Rose, both of the band Ugly Head, to replace them. Inspired by traditional American music, Indian raga, and artists such as John Fahey and The Dead C.
