Stabwounds + Daniel Amedee and Gold Light + Mindtroll + Viva @ The Way Station

8pm- Stabwounds

Genre: Doo-Wop Folk Rock
For fans of: Simon and Garfunkel, Laura Marling, Lucius, The Marvelettes, The Beach Boys

Stabwounds is a doe-eyed indie folk three-piece with a salacious, occasionally murderous rock and roll streak. Some serious harmonies, some serious sex appeal.

“They soundtrack a generation of sexually charged hopeless romantics. All original songs, Stabwounds is the sexually charged reincarnation of Simon and Garfunkel…not short on charisma " - Pucker Mob

“Not your typical coffeehouse acoustic duo…they help keep the authenticity and integrity of folk music strong in a city flooded with garage rock posers. “ - Pancakes and Whiskey

9pm- Daniel Amedee and Gold Light
Genre: Folk, Rock, Blues
For fans of: John Lennon, Tom Waits, Leonard Cohen, Bruce Springsteen, Van Morrison

Daniel Amedee is a New Orleans musician who plays an acoustic driven style of folk rock. He’s has recorded two albums at Radical House Studios in San Francisco, CA with producer Charles Gonzalez (Coo Coo Birds, Blank Tapes). The first, "Themes From…" was released in May 2011 worldwide through Expat Records and the second, "Climbing." His records feature performances by percussionist Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave), Sylvain Carton (Beats Antique, John Vanderslice), and Charith Premawardhana (Mars Volta, Classical Revolution) as well as many other great musicians from the bay area.

“Daniel Amedee is a…singer from New Orleans. He describes his music as orchestral rock but I guess you might as well say it's folk? I don’t know. En tout cas, his debut album Themes From ... is beautifully dreamy, very well produced and overall pretty enjoyable! A fitting warm summer evening soundtrack.” - Hendrik Schimpler, Poule D'or

“New Orleans is the birthplace of jazz, right? I guess this is why the city is often referred to as the most unique in America, as Daniel Amedee is a singer songwriter who demonstrates a real knack for writing gorgeous cinematic choral pieces, like Home And Heartfelt.” - James Godwin, Informal Flick-Thru

“Daniel Amedee captures the soul of Cat Stevens in his incredible lyrics with a dynamic voice that can bellow low like that of Leonard Cohen or reach high like Elliot Smith. This is topped off with biting, epic music reminiscent of Arcade Fire. We are excited about the future of this talented New Orleans singer songwriter.” - Jeff Libby, CEO of Expat Records

10pm- Mindtroll Genre: Post-Punk, Art-Punk
For fans of: B-52s, Le Tigre, Hunx

MINDTROLL is an art-punk trio featuring bass, accordion, drums, lots of strange lyrics and really good costumes. They crept up from the Gowanus Canal in early 2010 and have since spent their time honing their inscrutable sound, which is not unlike the angriest children's choir. In 2013, they released a sprawling collection of home recordings called “And That’s Just Some Of the Good Ones” where the song topics range from shopping at Williams-Sonoma to a battle between a Mega-Shark and a Crocsaurous. In 2016, they will release their next album “So Many Boyfriends”, which touches on more mature topics like how magic is real and not wanting to go to your friends’ wedding.

"It's like a magic trick - as a band" - Kathleen Hanna

"Brilliant, withering critiques of whatever is going on around them at any given moment, set to lo-fi, no wave-y, vaguely dance-y music" - Joel Tannenbaum (PunkNews.org)
