Michael Cantor (The Goodbye Party, Ex-Ambulars) and Sam Cook-Parrott (Radiator Hospital) combine forces as The Afterglows tonight at Lava Space for a First Time’s The Charm 2016 . While Cook-Parrott has helped flesh-out The Goodbye Party’s live incarnation, this brand new pairing of the duo offers yet another wrinkle into the collaboration. With a meshing of infectious pop-melody tempered by a knack for incisive, relatable lyricism, the pairing has the ability to quickly shift musical directions. Tonight, they’ll be joined by the rambunctious release of Todd Killingz, and the intimate acoustic reflections of Shannen Moser. While Bloomington’s Patrick Jennings (Purple 7/Hot New Mexicans) completes the billing.
