We are very excited about the Deli NYC B.E.A.F. (Best of Emerging Artists Fest) Indie Pop stage at Brooklyn Bowl, featuring "almost" Deli regulars The Rassle and Living Days – two bands that deserve a bright and rocking future – and awesome orchestral collective Lavalier. Here’s a closer loos to the 3 bands on the bill:
10.00 – THE RASSLE
Positioned between the happier side of The Jesus and Mary Chain and Mick Jones’ Big Audio Dynamite, The Rassle have the ability to write uptempo psych pop gems delivered with bratty vocal style and great attitude. The band played several Deli shows, including one in Austin during SXSW.
9.00 – LIVING DAYS
Stephonik Young’s Living Days extract all the good bits from their new wave predecessors in their slick’n’rocking electro-pop embellished with sparkling synths and riddled with hooks. The band’s signature sound is Stephonik’s low register (female) voice, which darkens the mood of swirling electronic effects and effervescent keyboard lines that merge with dance-rock rhythms, fashioning music suitable for underground club dynamics. This girl is an amazing performer, with a stage presence reminiscent of Karen O – you don’t want to miss this show.
8.00 – LAVALIER
Lavalier offer dreamy, slightly melancholic, atmospheres and mid tempo, sparse tunes with orchestral arrangements left to a remarkably high revolving cast of musicians, including a choir. The result is surreal, almsot circusy music that can be placed somewhere between the Beatles’ "A Day in The Life" and Tom Waits’ darker and slower ballads. This is a sound that stands out from current NYC indie trends – which is something we always appreciate here at The Deli
