Between The Notes: A Night of Jazz on Vinyl

This month features DJ Kamakaze of New Haven, who made a name for himself early on the DJ Battle scene. This two-time Connecticut champion, unbeknownst to many, has a deep appreciation and passion for Jazz music. Often fused with Hip Hop, his unique style has been referred to as refreshing. He joins resident selector DJ Ben Lovejoy for an incredible night of jazz where they will explore the golden era of blue note through modern UK and jazz funk.

The Eighty Six Seas, Pocket Vinyl, & Zanders

THE EIGHTY SIX SEAS
The Eighty Six Seas is the moniker of Nick Stevens, a Boston-based artist who weaves a tapestry of indie rock, indie pop, indie folk and folktronica into a sound all his own. Decorated with sweeping strings and poetic stories, it’s a sound that has been shaped by influences as wide-ranging as The National, Frightened Rabbit, New Order, Belle and Sebastian, David Byrne, The Mountain Goats and Bon Iver. His most recent album “Scenes from an Art Heist” was hailed by Vanyland as “an electronic-pop jaunt of detached cool and seductive melodicism” and by Conversations About Her as “a captivating musical journey for those who appreciate music that challenges and provokes.
https://theeightysixseas.com/

POCKET VINYL
Piano Slam Rock + On Stage Painter
Pocket Vinyl are an incredibly unique piano-slamming/live-painting band from CT. Their live show consists of insightful piano indie rock coupled with a live painter, who creates a work of art on stage during the show, which gets auctioned off afterwards. Every painting and show is unique.
The new album “Rabbit on Fire” (out now) is 9 story songs about a ruthless warrior (Death's Favorite Daughter), a widow reflecting on their new life (Audio Sickness), an artist relieved to have lost their passion for art (Bleed Like A Victory, a macabre piece of furniture (Chair From Your Bones), and exactly 5 other tales. It's emotionally dark material wrapped in bright indie rock. You're going to love it.
If you'd like to go down the rabbit hole of this band, just put “Pocket Vinyl” in any search bar on the internet and you'll find us. They lucked out with an easy-to-find band name. They have a feature length film (Drive. Play. Sleep.), an autobiographical weekly comic (The Touring Test), played over 1100 shows in all 50 states, and are always up to something interesting.
