Great White Caps Opening for Cheers Elephant at Ortlieb’s Sept. 13

As summer slowly fades into oblivion, Ortlieb’s showcases tonight a pair of bands that encapsulate the celebratory season at its’ finest. Bethlehem natives Great White Caps combine the retro stylings of surf and garage rock. The seductively sharp spiraling guitar unconsciously causes you to drift out of sight. However, the hip-swaying groove perpetrated by the rhythm section reels you back in, orchestrating a terrific tug and pull effect. Cheers Elephant will headline the show with dance-inspiring, psych-infused, refined pop-rock that is bound to grab ones attention.
