// GORDON VOIDWELL //
MIDNIGHT MAGIC
FREE
Doors 6:00pm :: Show 9:00pm :: 21+
Gordon Voidwell is the alter-ego of a Bronx-born ex-chorister turned rap geek, Will Johnson A multi-instrumentalist, a trained vocalist and a published fashion writer, his music is subversive pop & funk, following in line with Tom Tom Club, Madonna, Prince, David Bowie, and George Clinton. He uses analog synthesizers and chunky drum machines as the backdrop for silky, reverb-drenched vocals – reminiscent of Cameo, New Edition and other championed 80s R&B crooners. Blending old sounds with updated lexicon, Voidwell creates a sonic collage – one that is oh so familiar but at once strange and unusual. This is the point; to embrace the immense void that exists between seemingly opposite ideas of past and future, hip and dorky, pop and indie etc. etc.. That void is the well from which Gordon drinks and he invites you to do the same. “Ivy League Circus” will be released on by Latchkey Recordings as a fully mixed/mastered/produced single available on iTunes. – RCRD LBL

// RUMSPRINGA //
BOTTLE UP AND GO
FREE
Doors 6:00pm :: Show 8:00pm :: 21+
Drawing on influences as distant and diverse as John Lee Hooker, Canned Heat, Cream and underground psychedelic pioneer Michael Yonkers, Rumspringa’s daring blend of genuine early rock n’ roll with the familiar catchiness of modern influences also contains hints of old school and gangsta rap. Like the Amish practice of releasing teenagers to the outside world to experience the “devil’s playground”, the band’s new sound is sure to bring shock and awe to your comfort zone. “That’s why we declared ourselves to be on our own version of Rumspringa”, says front-man guitarist and vocalist Joey Stevens, “To step away from all the self-serving surface of the mainstream music culture, and to get back to the heart of discovering the soul of rock through the roots of its creation.”

MICHETTI
Doors 8:00pm :: Show 9:00pm :: 21+
BUY TICKETS
With the release of their sixth album, From the Corner to the Block, drummer Stanton Moore, bassist Robert Mercurio, sax/harmonica player Ben Ellman, keyboardist Richard Vogel, and guitarist Jeff Raines, reaffirm their standing as one of the funkiest outfits in the universe. From the Corner to the Block exposes Galactic’s organic grooves to an urban ear while still maintaining their essential funk aesthetic. Even with the different vocalists, the songs maintain a sense of thematic consistency. As Ellman explains, the rappers were each asked to write about a corner. “It could have been any corner,” The result isn’t just the grooviest, funkiest record of 2007, but perhaps the finest post-Katrina album to come out of New Orleans.
