Music! The Early / Bent Light / Anne Ishii
Sunday May 31, 6:30pm
🕛🕐🕑🕒🕓🕔🕕🕖🕗🕘🕙🕚
THE EARLY  is Alex Lewis (guitars and synthesizers) and Jake Nussbaum (drums and electronics). Somewhere in the textural grandeur of post-rock, the communicational intimacy of jazz improvisation, the patient grooves of minimalism, Chicago and Philadelphia.

BENT LIGHT is the duo of Michael Slyne and Russell Linder. Two guitars. Millions of pedals. Busted tape machines sing too. 

Philly's own ANNE ISHII  (Totally Automatic) will be treating us to a short electronics set. 

Doors 6:30 / Music at 7pm $10-15
