The Presidents of the United States of America - (Set time: 9:45 PM)
The Presidents of the United States of America scratch that itch that you can’t reach. They do and say all those things that you’d like to, but fear what people might think of you. They are your inner-child, but stinking drunk on a half-case of cheap beer. And, with the youthful appeal of the Dead Milkmen, the off-kilter storytelling and slashing chops of the Violent Femmes, and a razor-sharp sense of irony, they are utterly undeniable. - Adem Tepedelen
Eternal Summers - (Set time: 8:30 PM)
Virginia based duo Eternal Summers has collected all their early EP, 7 inch, and cover recordings to put forth one reissue under the name The Dawn of Eternal Summers to be released on Record Store Day (April 21st) via Kanine Records.
For the first time these twelve tracks will be released in digital format and available on all digital services. If you crave the physical product, colored vinyl with download code, head on down to your local shop on April 21st to snag a limited edition. The B side contains three cover songs not available on the digital version: Into Your Arms (as made famous by the Lemonheads), A Salty Salute (Guided by Voices) and Down to the Wire (Neil Young).
Roanoke, VA based duo, Nicole Yun and Daniel Cundiff received early praise from Pitchfork, Fader and Gorilla Vs Bear. And in the fall of 2010, Nicole Yun and Daniel Cundiff released their debut album Silver via Brooklyn based indie Kanine and followed up with the Prisoner EP (Forest Family/Kanine) in the spring of 2011. While consistently releasing music gaining praise from Spin, Filter, Under the Radar and more, Eternal Summers also completed several US tours with the likes of The Beets, The Raveonettes, and Reading Rainbow building their name the old fashioned way. These tours allowed them to play around with the idea of adding a bassist, having tried out several on the road.
Having found the right fit with bassist Jonathan Woods, Eternal Summers, now officially a trio, used the second half of 2011 to record their sophomore LP. Recorded at home in the Mystic Fortress, but for the first time allowing input from outside their inner circle, Correct Behavior was mixed by Sune Rose Wagner (The Ravonettes) and Alonzo Vargas. The album is a sonic leap forward, and it is being readied for release in June with further details to be announced shortly.

You Scream I Scream - (Set time: 7:45 PM)
You Scream I Scream (Connecticut/Nantucket/NYC) is at its core a three-piece band with distorted bass guitar and vocals (Floyd Kellogg), Rhodes and synth (Jake Vohs) and floor tom-driven drums and big cymbals (Audrey Sterk). The music's unique fingerprint is part Talking Heads in its beats and the lyrics' sometimes dark playfulness, and Floyd's vocal stylings—baritone singing and yelling contrasted with "bitchy girl" backing vocals—and stripped-down instrumentation can be reminiscent of Morphine or Soul Coughing. Bug in a Light, the band's debut album, led to performance opportunities such as at Hip Video's CMJ Showcase at Maxwell's in Hoboken, WBRU's annual rock showcase at Lupo's Heartbreak Hotel in Providence and shows at historic venues such as TT the Bear's in Boston and the Knitting Factory in NYC. Several catchy music videos shot by Brendan "Spookie" Daly in Hartford and on Nantucket, landed spots on MuchMusic's "The Wedge," MTV, New York Noise and Billboard.com. You Scream I Scream's second LP, Zookeeper, released in October 2012, was recorded in Hartford and mixed in St. Louis by Floyd with fellow producer Carl Nappa. When not busy designing and painting murals everywhere and recording/producing fellow bands (such as NYC's Steel Phantoms and The Sweet Ones) at their studio in Connecticut, You Scream I Scream plays high-energy, loud, electro-grunge shows around New England and New York.
