10pm- Mr. Kincaid
Genre: Alt Guitar Rock
For fans of: Guadalcanal Diary, Replacements, Buzzcocks, Pixies, early REM, Hudu Gurus, Soul Asylum

Mr. Kincaid is an alternative guitar rock band based in Brooklyn. Members Adam Rosicke (Guitar & Vocals), Corina Stark (Bass & Vocals) & Charlie Spickler (Drums & Vocals) create what they like to call “Crunchy Rock for your Crunchy Soul”. Harkening back to a time when loud and melodic went hand in hand, Mr. Kincaid marries the heavy guitars and drums of bands like the The Pixies, Guadalcanal Diary and The Buzzcocks with melodic lines of the Bodeans, early REM and the Replacements. Long time veterans of the New York indie music scene, Rosicke, Stark and Spickler are bringing old school indie music back to the future.

Mr. Kincaid is a band with something to say. With songs ranging from nerdy delusions of grandeur in “Duct Tape and a Dream” Mr. Kincaid isn’t afraid to ask the hard questions. From relationships gone awry in “Jane” and “Good Man” and “Perfect, “ exploring pop culture’s painful demise in “Cartoon Friends” and “Fountain of Middle Age,” to jabs at the current state of affairs with “God Spelled Backwards” and “Wag My Dog,” Mr. Kincaid is not afraid to take on any and all issues and give them the sound beatings they so richly deserve.

Mr. Kincaid is currently in the studio recording their first album “Wag My Dog” for a fall 2015 release.

11pm- Deby Medrez Pier
Genre: Folk / Cabaret

Medrez’s inspiring, haunting and melancholic tunes recall on echoes of the long forgotten Comedian Harmonistes, Andrew Bird and Nino Rota. Her songs are dedicated to universal and philosophical questions about life, judaism, love and Identity.

“Brooklyn-via-Mexico-City singer/songwriter Deby Medrez Pier depicts the final beauty of transience in her painterly songs... the musician conjures a sweetly fleeting seaside romance with a Hemingway-esque elegance while she conveys perhaps ephemeral personal frustration. Beyond its sheer prettiness, most striking about Pier’s music is its ageless nature; these deeply felt, sparsely-constructed tracks may sound like they came from early twentieth-century Paris but they’re just as vital in twenty-first-century New York.” - Zach Weg, The Deli Mag
