Twin Sister - (Set time: 7:30 PM)
Twin Sister create the kind of buzzy hypnotic pop you’ve been dreaming about since Galaxie 500 fizzled, cut with Tusk-era Fleetwood Mac thump, and a shot of Lynchian weirdness for good measure. They’re slack yet focused, a spark in the dark distance on a desert highway where speed is relative.
More than anything, Twin Sister want to make music you could feel comfortable cheating on someone to.

Ava Luna - (Set time: 6:30 PM)
With the release of the critically lauded Services EP in early 2010
and a near-constant stream of shows and short tours over the
successive months, NYC natives Ava Luna have built a reputation for
noisy, manic basement soul music in the form of stark, earthy
synth-driven beats coupled with tight, prismatic vocal harmonies,
which Christopher Weingarten has described as “beautiful, infectious,
and damn-near indescribable.”
In a church basement in Brooklyn’s deep south, they hone an eclectic
mashup of girl group harmonies, growling synth-funk, shimmering
distortion, soul stylings set to post-punk snobbery, complex
compositions in the guise of quirky pop songs; Al Green singing with
Wire, Depeche Mode backing Jamie Lidell. The band has drawn
comparisons to TV on the Radio, Dirty Projectors, Prince, Arab on
Radar, Phillip Glass, James Chance, Aphex Twin....
