Swap & Rock Fundraiser for Girls Rock Camp
Sunday, April 6

Performing in the front room:

Twist - This lo-fi duo create hauntingly beautiful, sun-faded songs reminiscent of Lee Hazlewood and Nancy Sinatra.

Patti Cake - A 60's girl group meets a 90's grrrl group.

Planet Creature - This five-piece create music that's influenced by their love of post-punk, 60's psychedelic and punk rock, infused with unique melodies.

Ice Cream - The duo pair minimalism and synths, layering lyrics sung in monotone, to create a sound that's been likened to the theme music of robots from a 50's sci-fi film.

Beliefs - The dream-pop duo create textured music that combines catchy lush harmonies with fuzzed out riffs.

At the end of the day, all unclaimed stuff will be donated to charity, and all funds raised will go to Girls Rock Camp
