Cost: FREE!
• 8pm - Sparks Fly From a Kiss - Sparks Fly From A Kiss present direct, elemental rhythms with angular and haunting melodies• • 9pm - Apollo Heights• - Apollo Heights is loud, exploring color, space, sensuality, and beat driven melodies with rhythmic and dynamic tension. Daniel’s falsetto vocals cast a contrast upon the wall of sound created by Danny’s heavy rock dreamscape guitar and Hayato’s pounding and licentious beats. Fans of Bloc Party, My Bloody Valnetine and The Secret Machines, take note. Apollo Heights have appeared on stage with Oasis, The Pixies, The Cocteau Twins, The Manic Street Preachers, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and most recently completed a U.S. tour with TV on the Radio. In 2005 they will release the ep “Amoeba”, produced by Robin Guthrie of The Cocteau Twins. • 10pm - Rob Montejo• • 11pm - Proton Proton - "You could put these guys in the same camp as fellow NYC'ers, Death From Above 1979 or, thanks to their excellent rhythm section, Interpol. But, Proton Proton are in a totally different tent. In fact, the rough and raw sound of the former mixed with the sophisticated structure of the latter is a decent summation of their sound. Now picture such a band being led by Peter Wagner of Choking Ahogo. "What?", you say. Good, download a track." - Bang Up Job•
