about the awesomeness of these bands 

10:20 Tula Vera: [Essex County, NJ] 

The dinner leftovers of 60’s rock with some modern-day spooky blues, Tula Vera’s sound shines through. Tula Vera is a four-piece rock band based out of North Jersey/New York. Playing shows all over, including but not limited to New Brunswick basement shows, clubs in New York, and shows in Philadelphia. The band formed in 2015 from the DIY musical depths of New Jersey by songwriters Claire Parcells and Dylan Drummond. Bassist Joe Jansen and Drummer Margaret Marino joined the group in 2016, the same year their debut self-titled album was released. This record solidified the genre-bending 21st-century rock vibe that is Tula Vera’s signature sound. Tula Vera just released their Sophomore full-length LP “Again and Again…”

9:20 Sir Synthesis four piece alternative psychedelic rock band from Hudson County

8:30 Rat Motel [Brooklyn/Ohio] Rat Motel emerged in 2016 with astounding elegance and ease for a structure of its size. The building settled in a single cacophonous bristle. When Old Man Winkle retired to the master suite for the last time there was a brief but violent power struggle, quelled by the reign of the brothers Peacock. (The rats, though indelibly embittered by this conclusion, were nonetheless satisfied that none of their fellows had triumphed.) In a fit of existential dread, unendearing arrogance, and a desperate yearning for eternity, a lofty aspect of the Motel rechristened itself “THE” Rat Motel, though the lower being refuses to carry the pretenses of this definite article as it ventures out into the world. It is what it is and that is enough. But try as The Rat Motel might to manifest the mad speculation of Zeno, the fact remains that Zeno was wrong. The infinite sum of one half raised to the power of “n” is indeed equal to one; the hare will overtake the tortoise; and even THE Rat Motel, which towers below the universe with grinning pride, will one day crumble into THE dust of The Empty Plane with a predictable lack of elegance and ease.

7:40 Yo Kinky ! [Queens/Jersey City] YO KINKY met at the start of 2020, bonding over shared musical interests, and immediately started working on songs together. Over the course of the Covid-19 pandemic, Laura Wight and Tom Unish self-produced and recorded their self-titled debut EP. The two-piece incorporates drum machines and buzzing, squelching keyboards with guitars that alternately shimmer and shake with reverb and delay.
