Trails and Ways - (Set time: 10:00 PM)
Trails and Ways
"Temporal, the second EP from Oakland-based DIY-pop quartet Trails and Ways, is a startling — and startlingly impressive — sophomore release: unique and ambitious and freighted with potential, at once dense and delicate, deftly combining disparate genres and dozens of instruments to create a sound that's hard to categorize and equally hard to forget....Temporal manages to invoke sounds as disparate as bossanova, afrobeat, calypso, and jazz, often in the same song; it's telling that the band has a broad range of influences, including Animal Collective, Bon Iver, Thelonius Monk, Drake, Paul Simon, and, especially, tUnE-yArDs." --East Bay Express
Carousel - (Set time: 9:00 PM)
Carousel
Carousel is an up and coming indie-pop trio based in Boston.
The three Berklee College of Music graduates have created a unique sound that combines the drive of electro with the melodic sensibilities of pop.
Since the release of Carousel's debut single, the band received immediate attention from blogs all across the web, including the Hype Machine where they charted on the "Most Popular Page" with nearly every release.
The trio has been playing shows throughout Boston and New York and looks forward to making their way across the country.
