Music Picks for Tuesday, May 4

Future Islands - Berkeley Cafe - New Wave/Pop/Electronica
This is the CD Release party for this Baltimore-based band. Their style of new wave/electronica harkens back to the heydays of this genre - and I love it! They sound a bit like The Hood Internet and bring elements of Pop,Indie, and a touch of hip-hop to customize their sound and the backbeats keep you grooving... With that being said, they can also surprise with a couple of tunes that is straight up Indie Rock - it makes for a show that keeps you on your toes. This is going to be a great evening of music - a lounge type setting and some good drinks and we will be set..... Baltimore running mates, Lower Dens will be opening the show as will local band Lonnie Walker. This is certainly a show that is worth catching - so come by and check it out!

Yadkin River Theory - Pourhouse (Southern Rock/Americana)
This Salisbury, NC based band is straight up Southern Rock in vein of The Blue Dogs they have have mastered the art of a great song and hard driving rock - which is the standard of a good Southern Rock band. They have great vocals backed up by great hard guitar driven rock. It's the perfect symbiosis for rock as demonstrated with "Stations Fade".... As an added twist, they can dial it down a bit and come out like Chris Isaak such as the case with "That night"
This is certainly going to be a great show - check it out and get your Southern Fried Rock fix!
