Description
Presented by WQFS & WUAG, this event could very well be one of the greatest live music shows in the history of Greensboro!
It's Future Islands featuring Twin Sister with opening performances by Ava Luna and Ed Schrader's Music Beat. Best of all, attendees get to see all ...four of these amazing bands for only $8 bucks each!
Future Islands:
The last time Future Islands performed a show at Artistika Nightclub, the result was a full-blown dance riot. Many people later described that experience as the best live show in the history of the city. So with expectations held high, the group has planned their epic return to the Gate City on January 24.
The North Carolina-bred, Baltimore-based post-wave trio contrasts electronic music and throbbing bass guitar with Sam Herring's charged, passionate vocals and engaging stage presence. Feet will shuffle, booties will shake, and just as Future Islands' music depicts humanity's struggle to feel again in this isolating digital age, we will be reminded of what it is like to connect with the natural world and people around us.
Twin Sister:
Drawing comparisons to Deerhoof, Stereolab and Portishead, Twin Sister’s debut LP, In Heaven, followed up two much buzzed-about EPs with ten meticulously-detailed and wholly unpretentious songs. Like a series of bright-eyed daydreams on a breezy autumn afternoon, the album flits effortlessly from one idea to another. Liquid electro shimmer, galloping spaghetti-Western, stuttering 80s pomp and funked-out space disco all get Twin Sister’s bright, playful treatment, topped off with subdued lyrics about “the legend, the man, the hero,” Gene Ciampi and whether Saturday is more fun than Sunday.
Ava Luna:
Fellow Brooklynites Ava Luna somehow manage to cram doo-wop harmonies, industrial drum beats, soulful wails and seven members into a sound that could be called sparse. It’s wildly inventive, eclectic, totally groovy and above all, it has doo-wop harmonies.
Ed Schrader's Music Beat:
Ed preformed solo for 3 years traveling the country with his voice and a drum. He was asked to play a rave in Baltimore. Looking to expand his performance, he asked Devlin to join him onstage with his bass. Since then the two have been making rock music of the finest variety, with their sights on the world.
