The Neighbourhood - (Set time: 7:30 PM)
"Buzz-band is a term that has been fluttering around the Internet for quite some time now. It's meaning is pretty straightforward: it is an underground indie band, formerly unknown, that comes out with a single worthy of Internet hype. That is why I disagree with labeling the recent indie Internet phenom, The Neighbourhood, as buzzworthy; they are clearly destined for so much more.
The band is also exceptionally mysterious. It's a quintet based out of LA, with Rutherford as the frontman. However, I couldn't tell you who plays what instrument. Their website doesn't even have any biographical information. The shroud of mystery surrounding them is part of the reason people like them so much, they're not out there for fame and glory—yet—they're just producing great tracks, (and all of these tracks are available FREE online…just keep reading). Their mysteriousness also perfectly parallels with the way they blend the genres of rock, R&B, and folk in a way only an indie band can.
Their 5-track EP is available for free download on their website. All the tracks are well worth listening to again and again." --Candor News

Mean Creek - (Set time: 6:30 PM)
Mean Creek is a rock band based in Boston, Massachusetts. An organic substance comprised of four friends who were always meant to create music together. A group of artists who have evolved from a past of desperation to a whole new future. Currently stepping from the lime-light of a wildly successful beginning into the blissful solace of a future faced with determination. Mean Creek delves into their newest musical project with the assurance and conviction that comes from knowing their legitimate place in the world. Expect combustion with the 2012 full-length release.
AOL Spinner: "Alternating boy-girl vocalists Chris Keene and Aurore Ounjian conjure a Pixies-like dual frontperson mystique and they rock equally as hard as their Beantown alma mater."
Paste Magazine: "Mean Creek is not merely a great Boston Band; they're a really great band period. Everyone outside the 617 should be warned Boston has birthed it's next prodigious band. Be prepared."
