Michael Cantor of The Ambulars has been starting to make a name for himself in his endeavors as a solo artist, and now he’s literally made a new name for himself: The Goodbye Party. The new moniker Cantor will perform under doesn’t necessarily signify a departure from the contemplative lo-fi we’re used to hearing from him. His last EP, Funeral Season, was a melancholy march of distorted blues that built up to a hopeful final track. He’ll be opening for headliners NYC’s Ava Luna, playing a jittery style of soulful pop. They released their latest LP, Electric Balloon (Western Vinyl) earlier this month, and it’s chock full of sharp-cornered funk. Boston’s Krill will also bring a raw, straight-from-the-garage sound to the stage, while Philly’s own Laser Background provides sugarcoated lullabies intertwined with sadistic psych-pop. Not a bad way to cap off a nice spring weekend before it snows again next week – ugh…forever winter.
