French KicksFrench Kicks
Four-piece NYC-based French Kicks experiment with fresh layered sounds and progressions, creating a repertoire of post-grunge rock that throws back to the sounds of garage bands, while forging a distinctive voice in the indie genre. “With catchy choruses, assured self-production, and lyrics that lean on nobody's pen, it won't be long before people start comparing other bands to French Kicks, instead of the other way around”—The Village Voice.

HeadlightsHeadlights
Based in Champaign, IL, Headlights present a mixture of indie-rock, electronica and stringed instruments. Touring constantly, they’ve visited all edges of the country and are at it again this summer to support their new album Some Racing, Some Stopping. Their atmospheric sound flirts with classic pop, dream pop, girl group stylings, and psychedelia. Check them out at: www.headlightsmusic.com.
Tiny Masters of Today
Brother Ivan (14) and sister Ada (12) make up Tiny Masters of Today. They may be young, but they’ve already garnered the praise of David Bowie who called their single “genius.” Their debut album, Bang Bang Boom Cake, features guest appearances from Karen O and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Kimya Dawson of the Moldy Peaches, Fred Schneider of the B-52s, and Butthole Surfer Gibby Haynes. “…their songs are like Sesame Street being brought to you by the letters D, E, V, and O and with Kim Gordon playing Cookie Monster.”— NME

On top of getting to watch movies outside on beautiful summer nights on the Hudson River, the other thing I like about River Flicks is every year they pick a central theme for their screenings. This year they take on the world of music in movies. Tonight's film is Saturday Night Fever. "Tight polyester pants, a wacky lit up dance floor and 1970’s Bay Ridge, Brooklyn – What more could you ask for?" Seating is first come, first served, and as always the popcorn is free!

Best described as Balkan New Jazz, Vampire Suit. draws inspiration from various musical settings and cultures including jazz, rock, Balkan music and African music. Put best, "If Bram Stoker's imaginary Transylvania had a jazz scene, the music might sound something like this. (Jazz Review)" They're playing a few shows this month in honor of their upcoming release, A New Song, and tonight is a great chance to see them for free at the Tea Lounge which puts forth a great vibe all its own. Highly Recommended.
