Dinosaur Feathers - (Set time: 10:30 PM)
Dinosaur Feathers
Why did the indie rock band Dinosaur Feathers name a song after Vendela Vida? - The New Yorker

One of the year’s quirkiest and most charming debut albums in Fantasy Memorial, a garage-sale jumble of styles anchored by sinisterly effective pop melodies. - The New York Times

(Dinosaur Feathers) use their voices like instruments, stacking and weaving them into a textured sonic tapestry that drips with 60s nostalgia. - PASTE

Captures the incredibly catchy world sound of Vampire Weekend with the tropical warmth of the Beach Boys. - MAGNET

Dinosaur Feathers delivers skewed yet joyous avant-pop that nods to Animal Collective and Dirty Projectors. - TimeOut NY
The Everymen - (Set time: 9:30 PM)
The Everymen
The Everymen are a lot of fun to hang out with. We prefer beers out of cans and love a backyard barbeque. We like our shows to rumble and we love when our drunk fans dance on the fucking tables. We like our guitars to be loud. We like hooks. We like sax. We like wearing jeans and t shirts. We think playing a great show is the most important thing a band can do.

Despite now living in New York City we still say “New Jersey” whenever people ask where The Everymen are from. Some nights we’re from Jersey City. Some nights we’re from the Jersey Shore. But we’ll always be a band from Jersey. It may seem silly at first, considering most of us don’t live in New Jersey anymore but the reality is where we're from is as inextricable from these songs as the guitars, the voices and the drums. We’re a New Jersey rock band. We’re always going to be a New Jersey rock band. Allow that to inform you how it will.

Love,
The Everymen
Ben Franklin - (Set time: 8:30 PM)
