SKATERS - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
Michael Ian Cummings and Noah Rubin formed SKATERS in 2012, and spent a year trading demos between Los Angeles and London with guitarist Joshua Hubbard. A few months later, the three met up in a Chinatown (NYC) loft to created their own art zine,YONKS, and record their debut EP, Schemers, which was given away for free on the band’s website and drew immediate critical praise. SKATERS are currently putting the finishing touches on their full-length album with producer John Hill. They will be returning from 25 UK dates to tour the U.S. in June before coming back to NYC on July 19 to headline The Bowery Ballroom.
Sinkane
Sinkane is an alias of Ahmed Gallab, a solo recording artist from Columbus, OH, who sings and plays numerous instruments (drums, bass, guitar, keyboards, et al.). His percussion-heavy style of music draws from a wide range of influences, most noticeably free jazz (e.g., Pharoah Sanders) and shoegaze (e.g., My Bloody Valentine). Born in Sudan, Gallab and his family fled to the United States when he was six years old. He made his full-length album debut in 2008 on Emergency Umbrella Records with Color Voice. Also in 2008 he toured as the drummer of Caribou and Of Montreal.
