KING BUG, PREWN, ARVERNE, SILENT MASS, READY ATLANTIC — live event

King Bug is a five piece energetic shoegaze band from Brooklyn that started in late 2022. The music is equal parts onslaught of guitars and well blended harmonized vocals, it's naturally colored by the kind of existentialist questions that seem to resonate inside an active mind in a quiet room. An embodiment of the tip of your tongue feeling, an exploration of not being able to make up your mind. Izzy Hagerup has been kicking around the songs that make up Prewn’s debut album for the better part of a decade. It wasn’t until the pandemic hit however that she really had the seclusion needed to complete them. With a chance opportunity to write and record at Kevin McMahon’s (Swans, The Walkmen, Pile) Marcata Studio during lock-downs, she was able to focus without distraction, bringing her ideas to life. As a member of McMahon’s Pelican Movement collective the two already had a positive working relationship, and this was a chance for Hagerup to temporarily remove herself from daily life in Northampton to create without distraction at a difficult time. She’d spend the day writing, working to weave ideas into solid threads, watching the pieces come into place during productive uninterrupted sessions. She describes the immersive time spent in the studio as “life changing,” in large part due to the pure isolation where “creating was the focus and I could really be alone, leading me to find myself more prolific than I ever thought I could be.” The results are staggeringly beautiful and triumphantly visceral. Speaking about the process, Hagerup shared, “these were some of the most rewarding, exciting days in my musical life. I learned that so much of writing a song is just pushing through all the mental blocks and fears and judgements that get in the way.” Arverne is the sound of New York City dreams: a balance of jangly guitar pop and murky shoegaze, engineered to jump-start your imagination. The project of Queens-native Rickey Gonzalez, Arverne consists of bassist Brian Collado, guitarist Philip Navarro, and drummer Edgard Cruz. Arverne devises a unique and captivating sound that appeals to fans of both alternative rock and indie pop
