Saturday July 9 2016 8:30PM doors -- music at 9:00PM ••• ALL AGES $15 Mitski mitski.com/ alternative indie rock Japanese Breakfast www.facebook.com/japanesebreakfast/ lo fi, experimental, pop Jay Som jaysom.bandcamp.com/ alternative rock Mitski Mitski -from Brooklyn, NY -Showcasing a voice comparable to velvet, and oozing with dark romance, emerging singer/songwriter Mitski has plans to dominate the alternative music charts. Brimming with blood burgundy passion, Mitski’s first and latest album Lush is an eclectic collection full of emotion and ambient mystery. Each song provides a soundtrack for every stage of love from that first magnetic attraction like the lead single, “Liquid Smooth,” to the painful sting and aftermath of a break up like, “Brand New City.” With a subtle and unique style that allows her zealous music to color her persona, Mitski is proving to be an unforgettable performer. Based out of New York, the young singer thanks her nomadic history for her worldliness and lyrical wisdom. She has lived in Malaysia, The Democratic Republic of Congo, The Czech Republic, Taiwan, China, Turkey, Japan and now the U.S. Mitski’s music was the one keepsake she could carry with her no matter where she landed. Being a well-traveled artist, she is able to pull from multiple cultural experiences to produce profound love stories that any audiences can connect with. Michelle Zauner -from Philadelphia, PA -A side project from her work as front woman of Philadelphia indie punk band Little Big League, Michelle Zauner released a tape in June 2013 under the solo moniker Japanese Breakfast. The tape was titled June and boasted thirty tracks written and recorded every day of the month. A stark deviation from Little Big League’s guitar-‐based indie rock, it showcased Zauner’s dark lyrics, unique vocals and inherent knack for pop melody. Two bedroom pop cassettes later, Japanese Breakfast returns with its first full-‐fledged LP and vinyl release, Psychopomp. The album explores Zauner’s experimental interests and hosts a wide range of sound: jarring anime samples, minimalist ballads, rhythms and synths reminiscent of Tango in the Night-‐era Fleetwood Mac paired with the moody intimacy of Mount Eerie. Psychopomp revisits and revamps lo-‐fi tracks and adds chilling new songs to fall. Jay Som Melina Duterte -from San Francisco, CA -"Reminding me so much of that way Alex G songs got passed around two years ago, San Francisco's Melina Duterte aka Jay Som, has been having news of her bedroom pop creations whispered amongst friends like well kept secrets, and there has been imminent promise of a larger piece of work. There's a huge range of emotion and moods at work, where playful, power poppy garage hooks are pitted against somber, lush soundscapes." |
