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.

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.
