Free Week w/ Gentlemen Rogues, Shivery Shjakes, the Golden Boys, Grape Street
Here’s hoping Grape St. resolved to release a proper debut in 2013. Thus far, Curtis O’Mara’s garage-psych project has managed only a couple of Soundcloud demos, but they’re brimming with the same slop-pop aesthetic and charming weirdness that made Harlem such an immediate draw. Grape St. brings it live, with scene stalwarts the Golden Boys raising the bar – and a couple Lone Stars – early. Shivery Shakes, Broken Gold, and Gentlemen Rogues round out the bill. – Austin Powell
