Local Band Local Beer: Heartracer w/ Animalweapon + Foxture

Heartracer - Chris and Chip Cosby grew up in Richmond, Virginia. Early on the brothers took a liking to 80’s pop culture from Nightmare on Elm Street to Back To The Future to the super cheesy martial arts movies starring Jean Claude Van Damme. It was a time when the United States economy was booming, people still bought records, Blockbuster still populated every street corner, and social media wasn’t the dominant influence on society. However, more importantly for the brothers this decade represented the golden era of catchy melodies and pop sensibility. The nostalgia for this period of their lives became the foundation of what would eventually become Heartracer.

Joined by drummer and percussionist Bryan Reyes, Heartracerwill be unveiling their next EP release entitled "Eat Your Heart Out" coming October 2016. https://youtu.be/bojUZIgv9Ks

Animalweapon - After several years of acoustic, singer/songwriter coffee-house gigs, Animalweapon began as Raleigh, NC native Patrick Cortes’ experiment with electronic music. The project’s first outing came in the fall of 2010 with the debut single “Mexican Standoff.”

While Raleigh’s electronic music scene gravitates toward a more “club-oriented” culture, the music of Animalweapon draws from a host of other flavors of electronica, eschewing trendy dubstep and four-on-the-floor for skittering rhythms, textured atmospheres and thoughtful lyrics. The result is a sound that appeals to fans of an eclectic variety of artists ranging from Flying Lotus and Tycho, to Massive Attack and Little Dragon, to Nine Inch Nails and Radiohead. He frequently makes mean faces at children who are misbehaving in public. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKAhDSlyx6o

Foxture - “We want it to feel like home at our show,” said Marlon Blackmon, the band’s vocalist and keyboardist.

“We never want people to feel uncomfortable,” added guitarist Eddie Reynolds. “Like if you’ve had a rough day, this is a place you can just let loose.”

The sound the band is going for — ambient, with some curveballs of tonal weirdness — is described by bassist Ross Barnes as “what it feels like to be in a room where the temperature is just right — almost like air conditioning.”" - Jordan Green, Triad City Beat https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CvpQW4hdJPE
