Interesting show at Electric Bowery on May 18 with two emerging NYC based bands. Fort Lean (top pic) is Bottle Up & Go’s Keenan Mitchell side project, also dwelling in Americana and Rock, but with a less aggressive, more melodic, sometimes even crooning approach. The Shining Twins (bottom pic), is a female fronted trio that sounds like a simplified version of The Pixies without Frank Black. I wouldn’t be surprised to find out that whoever sings the song "Ted" is Kim Deal’s illegitimate daughter (with a better wardrobe). Other songs are more on the garagey side of things
