April Events and Classes at the North End Studio

Events

The Crack Up - CD Release Party 
Saturday, April 3rd. 10pm Free Admission

The Crack Up is an experimental rock group that formed in March 2009.  The band continuously pushes hooks into the jaws of listeners while sustaining a weirdness of sound.  Drummer Peter Negroponte keeps this together into a driving whole always allowing space to fall apart into fractals of broken symbols and deep squeals.  Bassist Robert Stahle drops pulse bombs reminiscent of machinery in a warehouse you'd be dared to visit.  Daniel Zane Maroti's obscure approach to the Fender rhodes provides an overarching mystery of noise and a focus breaking of rules while the sweeping power of Matt Jalbert's guitar compliment with a cosmic rip, underlying the song writing of Jon Tatelman.  The performance is a celebration of the release of The Crack Up's first album "Get a Life" available for download via: http://thecrackup.bandcamp.com/  Hard copies will be available for sale.

The Powder Kegs w/The Feverbreakers
Saturday, April 24th. 8pm $6 

The Powder Kegs are a Philadelphia trio recently transplanted from New York City, consisting of songwriters Dan Maroti & Ryan Dieringer, and drummer Sam McDougle. Their genre-bending, minimalist pop/rock & roll sound calls to mind songsters like Elvis Costello or Paul Simon. Their pop ditties are made crooning and confessional, their love songs infused with subtle psychedelia. There's a notable influence of folk music in their sound - the band spent four years out of tehri sex year career as a Prairie Home Companion-lauded, street-performing, finger-pointing string band, a distinction which informs their new stripped-down pop explorations with a sense of folk nuance.

TPK released their debut LP, "You and Your Right Now", in 2008. It was recorded with Jeremy Backofen, producer of albums by The Felice Brothers, The Walkmen, Frightened Rabbit, & Mice Parade. On January 26th, they released their new E.P. "Empty Side,' which was produced by Philly's own (and best) Brian McTear (Mazarin, The A-sides, Espers) of Miner St. Recordings.
