Paul Kelly
Due to overwhelming demand, a second Paul Kelly show has been added on May 18, 2013!
PAUL KELLY's remarkable new 11-song album Spring and Fall, his 19th studio album and first collection of new material in five years, ranks with the seminal Australian singer-songwriter's most memorable and resonant work, demonstrating why he's virtually a national hero in his home country and one of the most celebrated songwriters on the planet.
In a career that's spanned more than 30 years, Kelly has released a steady stream of albums showcasing his emotionally vivid, musically expansive songwriting and his uncanny ability to distill a novel's worth of narrative and character detail into an effortlessly melodic pop tune.

DJ Nana
DJ NaNa believes that the art of Turntablism is a science. The same precision and dedication scientists put into research and experiments, is what NaNa is known for putting into his own artform. His influences range from the common (Wu Tang Clan, Outkast, A Tribe Called Quest, Jay-Z). to the not so obvious (Zamfir, Portishead, Lamb, Fleetwood Mac), and everything else in between. A true music connoisseur, his knowledge of diverse genres of music is almost as impressive as his knack for combining them.

Saturns w/ Little Spoon + Suno Deko
SATURNS is two cousins, Bryan, half of the electro-savvy Opopo, and Lukas, who had his own indie psychedelic rock band, The Dharma Sun. While they both love their other bandmates, family bloodlines trump all, and they've put all their efforts for the time being into creating a new blend of surfy, planetarily transcendent electro pop with a live and multimedia interactive experience.
LITTLE SPOON is Boston's Cameron Potter, who weaves elaborate symphonies of noise and vocals through a dreamlike haze of backbeats and synthesized percussion.
SUNO DEKO is a brand new project for Atlanta's David Courtright, formerly the guitarist and vocalist of the rock and roll band Jack of Hearts. Suno Deko is a multi-layered experimental pop outfit, with lyrical focus and depth.- Venue: Underground

THUGLI w/ JR FLO
It's a looooong weekend, and you have no excuses. So we're throwing a party that'll be worth the hangover with local heroes THUGLI and JR FLO (from KEYS N KRATES).
THUGLI is Tom Wrecks and Pat Drastik, two DJ/Producers spearheading the trap movement by way of Toronto. The duo's sound is best described as a hybrid of dirty south rap combined with a love of melodic builds and heavy synths. Their music has quickly gained the support of Industry heavyweights including Diplo, A-trak, Baauer, Flosstradamus, Just Blaze, AraabMuzik and is receiving play from Diplo himself on his BBC Radio 1 show and in his sets. The two have just released their debut EP entitled ONSLAUGHT and are currently working towards their sophomore release this summer.
Special guest JR FLO, member of live remix trio Keys N Krates, joins to spin his party mixes.- Venue: Underground
