TONIGHT! Other Colors (Baltimore) // Naked Gods // Lollipops // Black Cat @ BlackCat Burrito
Jul 12 @ 10:00 pm – 1:00 am

“Other Colors began as the bedroom pop project of Will Ryerson. From these beginnings it bloomed, broadening in scope from homespun 4-track hiss into soaring, mystically enhanced spectral pop. These songs manage to exude undeniable uplift vibes. It’s a carefree, adventurous spirit. Will has a particular gift for birthing earworms, too. They burrow your head for days, almost to the point of being annoying. Testimony of this comes in the song ‘Dark Things’, an effortless bit of refined guitar-pop.” -Faster Louder (Australia)

“I’m constantly amazed by how much weird, awesome music is generated in the dilapidated neighborhoods of Baltimore, my neighboring gritty city. This simple pop will draw you into the ”future folk-rock” hand-crafted by this trio…” -Yvynyl

“As the guitar plays, something else creeps up…an entity…a being…a force…a horn…an organ…an idea…taking the life of this lonely sparsely beautiful rock and haunting it hard. Baltimore’s Other Colors’ solitary magic and expansive lo fi rock is something to take ahold of now. Their S/T album was recorded during last year’s blizzard, and that walled in mystique flows through this gem.” -Pasta Primavera

“Completely fallen for this lonesome, melancholy-dripping ‘spectralist pop’ gem… a slow-burning tune with devastating harmonies drenched in a low-profile, restrained fog of noise and reverb.” -No Fear of Pop

Jul 27 @ 10:00 pm – 2:00 am

EX-CULT – Memphis, TN
“…a punk rock sweet spot that incorporates angular post-punk, flying saucer fuzz guitar, snotty vocals and bash-your-head-in energy. A real stone groove! Killer linear punk à la Wire, Urinals, Australia’s X or something, man! A show at SXSW caught the attention of indie wonderkind Ty Segall, and the two began making plans to record in San Francisco,” resulting in their s/t Goner release.

She is currently working on a new record with producer Owen Lewis, who has worked with artists such as Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, and Snow Patrol.

Technicolor Teeth (Wisconsin) w/ Viewfinder and more at Black Cat @ BlackCat Burrito
Aug 23 @ 10:00 pm – 2:00 am

TECHNICOLOR TEETH – Wisconsin, feat. members of Tenement

“Wisconsin’s Technicolor Teeth is the first band I’ve seen categorized as “Nightgaze”, and the name suits them quite well. Though the spacey sounds created by the trio’s six-string assault are lightweight and misty, heavenly isn’t quite the best word to describe them. Try hellish. Technicolor Teeth put an unnerving spin on My Bloody Valentine’s gravelly ambience, giving their debut album, Teenage Pagans, a ghastly but beautiful sound.” -via half-gifts

Daniel Bachman (Tompkins Square Recs) w/ Locust Post and Baylor Rossi (solo) at Espresso News @ Espresso News + Low Wine Bar
Aug 26 @ 9:30 pm – 12:00 am

“Daniel Bachman is a 22-year-old musician born and raised in Fredericksburg, Virginia. He has been playing what he describes as “psychedelic appalachia” since he was a teenager, releasing small run editions of tapes, CDs and LPs for the past three years, with a sound that evolved from drones and banjos to a now guitar centered focus. Touring off and on since the age of 17, Bachman has managed to cover thorough ground across the US, sharing stages with like minded folk such as fellow Fredericksburg native Jack Rose, for whom he fashioned the artwork for the posthumous release of ‘Luck In The Valley’. His newest effort is the full length LP ‘Seven Pines’, sprung from a year living and working in the city of Philadelphia. The sound results in a combination of homesick worried blues and the ecstatic buzz of fresh experience and a new life in unknown territory. Familiar and known, but also seeking to access memories from lives past, dead and gone.”
-Tompkins Square Records

LOCUST POST (a.k.a. Benny Paynter) – Boone, NC
New Lonesome-American singer-songwritership in the vein of Palace Music/Will Oldham and Magnolia Electric Company. Lonesome, perhaps, but Paynter’s songwriting evinces a peculiar angularity and triumph that breathes new life into, and spills Highlife upon, American folk.

BAYLOR ROSSI – Boone, NC
Formerly of Nice To Meet You James, Baylor writes gut-wrenching, quirky and introspective indie-folk.
