Jackson Jay Kidder

Slip on your most ironic vintage tee and prepare to dive headfirst into the sonic ether, because this Friday night at the underground haven known as The Electric Parlor, the future of indie is unfurling before our eyes. The headliner, Jackson Jay Kidder, is the lo-fi prodigy who threads heartbreak and hope into tapestries of sound that echo like an Elliott Smith daydream. Local Motive, the lovechild of post-punk angst and synthpop shimmer, will be there to make you dance your existential dread away. Meanwhile, opener giverupper might just be the anti-hero we've been waiting for, weaving melancholic melodies with the raw energy of a basement mosh pit. For those fluent in the language of vinyl and reverb, this is your night. It's a 21+ affair, so don't forget your ID—and maybe a friend who knew these bands before they were cool.
