Arbouretum
Arbouretum’s mystic folk-rock collapses a continuum of 20th century
music into decidedly classic song structures. English folk, country
blues, Americana and 70s psychedelia all serve as touchpoints in their
singular and distinctive sound. The Baltimore-based band have
perfected the craft of storytelling using the delicate interplay of
melodies and prosaic lyrics to tell vivid stories that engage the
listener and transport them.
Stinking Lizaveta
Named for a doomed Dostoyevsky character, Stinking Liz’s trademark is
meticulously arranged, carefully rehearsed, furiously deployed
instrumental rock compositions that feature generous strains of jazz,
classical, punk, and even Greek music. Born in West Philly basements
in the early-90’s, raised in a blue Chevy van, the trio Stinking
Lizaveta has spent over th ree decades touring-sharing stages in
America and Europe with such bands as Clutch, Mastodon, the Sword,
Torche, Weedeater, Fugazi, Rollins Band, Lamb of God, Orange Goblin,
Corrosion of Conformity, and Today Is The Day, and building an
unmatched catalog of instrumental rock, starting with its self-titled
1995 EP released on Joe Lally’s (of Fugazi) Tolotta Records, and
working with such notable producers like Steve Albini, Steve Austin,
and Sanford Parker. The band is currently touring in support of its
tenth release, “Cassandra, Prophet of Doom”, which finds Stinking
Lizaveta as challenging and vital as ever.
Deathbird Earth
Deathbird Earth is a two piece band from the city of Philadelphia
playing songs about the trials and tribulations of the peoples of
Outer Space. Their debut album “Objective Consciousness” was called “a
sci-fi soundscape for those who want more gravitas and can tolerate a
little anxiety” by William Pauper at Invisible Oranges. Imagine a mix
of heavy drums and distorted bass, layered with a wall of synthesizers
that could have been lifted from your favorite classic science fiction
genre films, topped off with shouted vocals and lots of delay.
Darsombra Sol
Returning to the stage in Baltimore, Brian Daniloski will be
performing solo with visuals created by Ann Everton as Darsombra Sol,
reprising and revising music from their earlier Nymphaea/Climax
Community era (2007-2013). Darsombra is trans-apocalyptic galaxy rock
– dynamic, kaleidoscopic music for people transitioning through
endtimes and dreaming of space. In the wake of the passing of Everton,
Darsombra Sol is its latest incarnation.
Darsombra Sol is a tribute.
Darsombra Sol is a ritual.
Darsombra Sol is a celebration.
Come join us.
