7:00 PM WATCH MAN WALK/BELLFLUR/MODEL CARS
WATCH MAN WALK stretches the traditional role of guitar, bass, drums and vocals, to create a variety of balanced compositions. Their ability to take complex and simple textures and wrap both around the importance of language makes it difficult and almost worthless to try to categorize the music they make. For over seven years, Watch Man Walk has self-produced over six full length albums, refining and revising along the way, while at the same time performing live in and around the Washington DC area.
BELLFLUR have been together for a few years and have been playing regularly around Washington DC. The group fluctuates between a 4 and 6 piece band and tries to live up to the idea of making pretty songs about sad things. With fuzzy bass lines, fuzzy guitar lines and fuzzy keyboards, Bellflur's music builds on the atmospheric sounds that bands like God Speed You! Black Emperor, Sigur Ros and Spiritualized have set forth. "The band has a knack for making things cold and detached sound somewhat pretty." - DCist.com.
MODEL CARS is an indie-rock band made up of four talented musicians from around the country sharing the common ground of Boston. With influences ranging from many musical genres, including but not limited to classical, rock, jazz and hip-hop; MODEL CARS writes honest music that is true to themselves, as well as the surroundings they are in.
