Adios Ghost - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
Adios Ghost
Adios Ghost began in a dank garage in Clinton Hill, BK back in Fall 2010. That's where A. Loew, Ben, Jimmy and Simon first played together, shouting at passing neighbors and art students in the dark street. They’ve played around NYC since then, and released their debut, self-titled EP in October 2012.
Isadora - (Set time: 9:30 PM)
Isadora
Isadora is a Brooklyn based quintet, born in 2012. The band consists of Aaron Mendelsohn (vocals, guitar), Ian Mellencamp (bass, vocals), Jesse Bilotta (drums, vocals), Nick Burleigh (guitar, violin), and Josh Rouah (keyboards, guitar, vocals).

The band began as a duo, writing dreamy, melodic pop tunes inspired by the compositions of early Andrew Bird. The lineup grew and shrank, eventualy swelling into its five-piece formation. The evolution in the lineup has inspired an evolution as well in the band's sound. Isadora has arrived at a rich, textured sound, sometimes going purely on feel and sometimes highly composed.

Surprise is one of the touchstones of Isadora's sound - the band will set up a certain expectation but then deliver more fully on something else lurking beneath the surface. An explosive burst of rhythm shocks you out of a smoother introduction on their first release, "On the Rights," and takes you somewhere you'd never have expected.

Their first EP will be released in February of 2013.
