Perp Walk + Raytones + Hudson Hornets + Denbaya @ The Way Station

7pm- Perp Walk
Genre: Rock/Power Pop
For fans of:  Placebo, Rush, L7

After talking a lot about their favorite music over the years, NY1 News Reporter and drummer Roger Clark and co-worker/bass player Bunny got together at a Greenpoint Rehearsal Studio in the summer of 2012 and decided to jam. They had a real blast, which turned into the hard rocking, comedic duo Perp Walk. Their original songs are based on crazy incidents, offbeat people, and animals encountered on their permanent tour of the world.

For fans of: 1920’s blues to 90’s rock and in-between
