Hi there Deli readers! I thought you all should know that there’s a seriously great show happening this Friday night at The Dunes!
Local indie-roots rock group, Alex Vans & The Hideaway will be sharing the stage with Philly’s The Makes. If you haven’t heard The Makes yet, then what you’ve been missing is a face-melting rock and roll band that will be fusing attitude-heavy guitar solos (somehow I want to say Pink Floyd meets Tool meets Radiohead) from frontman Chris Weyh with the saxophone stylings of Rick Tate (of the Roots) (yeah, seriously!).
Rick Tate will also be jamming with Alex Vans on Friday night which should make that set extra special. It’s also worth noting that Alex Vans & The Hideaways will be previewing a bunch of new songs from their upcoming release which feature a fuller, more plugged-n sound than Alex’s self titled EP.
Finally, if all of this wasn’t already enough for you to stop drooling over cherry blossoms and fleeting glances of freshly exposed summer skin and get down to The Dunes on Friday, you should know that this will be Alex Vans & The Hideaway’s last show in DC for the next several months. The band is currently scheduled to play several months of shows in Australia. When you come out this Friday, be sure to wish them well on their tour – but, be a good sport and don’t remind them that it’s actually going to be winter in Australia…Tough break!
