New Yorkers AVA LUNA return after opening for TWIN SISTER this past spring supporting their excellent 2012 release Services: 3rd Avenue Island on Infinite Best Recordings. The LP is filled with SPECTOR-esque girl-group harmonies interwoven with funk, noise and pop to create catchy and heartfelt dance pop. Chicago’s cheery garage poppers SUMMER GIRLFRIENDS made Loud Loop Press and the Red Eye’s Bands to watch in 2012 lists and they delivered on their promise with Shockwaves, their debt LP that dropped early last year on Addenda Records. SUMMER GFs are five young ladies who write summery, infectious guitar pop – what more could you ask for? CELESTIAL SHORE are a five-piece experimental avant-pop band from Brooklyn who make their Chicago debut tonight and are poised to melt the brains and eyeballs of onlookers once they hit the stage.
