Darling Din + Stanley John Mitchell and his Band of Buddies + TL Band + The Fantastic Plastics @ The Way Station

8pm- Darling Din
Genre: Indie Rock
For fans of: Ted Leo, Wye Oak, Pixies

Brooklyn band Darling Din brings power and raw passion to sensibilities firmly rooted in pop and lo-fi folk for a retro collage of smart, atmospheric indie rock. Emotive vocals, veering from quiet confession to howling wail, join guitar riffs dripping in vintage overdrive, compelling Afro/Latin inspired beats and punchy bass backbones. The group releases their debut EP this summer and have already been featured in showcases including Deli Magazine's 2013 Best of NYC's Emerging Artists.

9pm- Stanley John Mitchell and his Band of Buddies
Genre: Americana/singer -songwriter
For fans of: Mumford and Sons, Neil Finn, Chuck Berry

Native New Zealander Stanley John Mitchell is a veteran of the New York alternative scene. After arriving here with legendary Kiwi band ‘The Drongos’ Stanley J soon established himself as a songwriting force. His current band ‘Stanley John Mitchell and his Band of Buddies’ plays original material inspired by the Americana/Roots American style he loves so much. These influences, along with Stan’s own South Pacific background, make for a delightfully original sound.

“A delightful mélange of funk rhythms, country harmonies, precisely layered guitar counterpoint and airy folk-rock sounds, with many influences, old and new, absorbed into a delightfully original sound.” - Robert Palmer, New York Times

10pm- TL Band
Genre: Folkabilly/ Harmony Rock

For fans of: Fleet Foxes, Fleetwood Mac, First Aid Kit

"Brash, poetic, and gifted singer-songwriter with an electrifying stage-presence, empassioned lyrics, and an impressive vocal range." -Philadelphia Weekly

Now infuse that with the lush, sultry vocal harmonies/percussion stylings of theater majors, Zac Gilbert & Jerielle Morwitz. Next, add some special sauce to the mix with the John Bonham-esque dynamics of Tami Johnson on drums (9 years w/T.L.)! Rounding out this tasty dish is fellow singer-songwriter Sarah Mucho (The Sometime Boys) on bass.

"Tara Lynne Mallon, you are a sexy woman. What a voice. Reminiscent of early Heart, Joni Mitchell, and an angel, this lady can sing." -Alan Pinkerton "Rockpile Magazine"
