Mercury’s Antennae (Album Release) w/ Darkswoon, Bridal Veil, DJ Wednesday – 21+

An evening filled with post-punk, shoegaze an darkwave. This show is sponsored by XRAY FM and eardrumbuzz.net

All attendees that buy tickets in advance will receive a swag bag at the door filled with assorted goodies from the bands and sponsors!  DJ Wednesday will be spinning tunes before, during and after the show.

 

Mercury’s Antennae is multi-instrumentalist Erick r. Scheid (The Palace of Tears), vocalist Dru Allen and bassist Cindy Coulter (both from This Ascension). Ethereal/shoegaze meets ambient and electronic influences to create something new and distinct. This show will be the release party for their album Among the Trees on Sett Records.

Darkswoon is Jana Cushman (guitar, vocals), Norah Lynn (bass), and Rachel Ellis (keys, synths, beats). A Portland based trio hailed as a fierce electronic prowess and shoegaze-inspired guitar textures. As such, the band channels both the detached chill of early Fever Ray and Eurythmics as well as the churning menace of Modern English…both incredibly powerful and irresistibly catchy at once. ELECTROHAZE FROM THE PACIFIC NORTHWEST

Bridal Veil is an American four-piece band from Portland, Oregon inspired by the emotional pangs of the 90’s — the last era to know what life was like without a cell phone in every hand. 

Led by guitarist/soprano/flutist Emily Overstreet, the band weaves between ethereal dreampop similar to Cocteau Twins and heavy walls of noise akin to My Bloody Valentine. She is joined by guitarist and producer Jordan Richter, bassist Aaron Krause and Raymond Anthony Hughes on drums. 
Together they perform a memorable live set that delivers vulnerable songwriting paired with well-placed force
