Two new electronic NYC bands: Operator and Felicia Douglass at Shea Stadium tonight (07.08)

Brooklyn DIY venue Shea Stadium will be hosting a show tonight featuring four local artists, and we found two new intriguing electronic bands we never covered before in it.

Kicking off the night with a fresh set of lo-fi avant indie is Brooklyn natives Operator, with a sound that blends Kraut Rock influences with dreamy guitars. The quartet is new to the scene, having just released their first demos on May 4 and played their first show on May 29. This will be their second performance and they are planning to release more tracks over the course of the summer. 

 

Immediately following their act will be Felicia Douglass. Douglass’ music is pure electro soul-pop, combining modern electro techniques with 80’s influenced melodies and a voice that’s reminiscent of many a 90’s R&B star. Douglass has released four tracks thus far and has also collaborated with fellow New York electronic artist BAILE on two tracks entitled “Matter” and “Leaves” for his latest EP. – Patrick Wolff
