New Canada, Dangerosa, & Wailing Smithers @ Velvet Lounge July 27

This Saturday, 3 DC bands ranging from psychedelic to indie rock are taking to the Velvet Lounge stage. Get there early to check out the latest from Hurlebaus alums Wailing Smithers. Dangerosa will be unveiling their latest EP release. And New Canada will be dishing out their dose of experimental psych rock anthems.

Speaking of which, New Canada recently did a cover of a track that I’d rather shoot myself in the ear then endure the actual version of- Miley Cyrus’ "We Can’t Stop." The track was featured on the Mabson Enterprises remix album, a compilation of artists covering the pop nugget, and New Canada reinvented it to fit more on a college radio playlist (= better), the best radio there will ever be. Next to pirate radio. Check it out below.
