Night Manager - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
Night Manager
Highlighted by Pitchfork, Village Voice, Fader , CMJ, and Brooklyn Vegan Night Manager is a trifecta of musicians spanning from San Fransisco to Paris purveying Lo-Fi Garage Rock/Dream Pop. Along a similar vein as Sonic Youth, Nirvana, and The Pixies, Night Manager make chaos sound warm and inviting. Night Manager is rough and unpolished yet unabashedly honest.
Total Slacker - (Set time: 9:30 PM)
Total Slacker
"...a very lascivious sound and hovering vocals...Listless and languid phrasing." - Anthony Mansuy/ ROLLING STONE July-2010

"Front man Tucker Rountree manages to echo both Thurston Moore and Lou Reed with his half-sung, half-spoken lyrics about being young, broke, and in love." - Jamie Peck / Village Voice -July 2011
Habibi - (Set time: 8:30 PM)
Habibi
Habibi is the brainchild of Rahill Jamalifard and Lenny Lynch. Together, the two Detroit natives started the all-girl, Brooklyn-based project in the spring of 2011. Growing up with the harmonious sounds of Motown and the punk attitudes of Quatro and Iggy, their music invokes the same simplicity and fiery spirit. Jamalifard's Persian ancestry and Lynch's love of Middle Eastern culture are evident in the bands name (Habibi's translation is my love in Arabic), their mystical lyrics, and their eastern tinged melodies.

In the short span of time since their formation Habibi has captured the interest of audiences and labels abroad, eager to hear more of their simple and catchy songs. The four piece featuring Erin Campbell on bass and Karen Isabel on drums look forward to their upcoming single and their first full length album.
