Take a Few Steps Closer to Proexhibitors at KFN Jan. 22

Pensive wave with an undercutting yet vigilant groove pieced together with percussion, bass and those futuristically bright synth tones. The duo of Andrew Butler and Carolyn Wayne form Proexhibitors dish out damp, dreary yet danceable songs. With lyrics that are often directed at the listeners, the vocals can be heard as a call to action. Thus, while the groove simmers and stirs in that place just beyond the dimly lit threshold, you’ll find yourself taking a few steps closer to catch a better look. The crisp percussion and short precise guitar licks of The Guests serve as the openers. A pair of Ohio–based bands are sandwiched in between with Cosmic Moon crafting a dark ambiance, while The American Jobs toy with sonic textures in a shady yet intoxicating fashion.
