Wednesday, May 18th 2022Sasha &amp; the Valentines + Light Beams + Ava Mirzadegan9pm - $15 - All AgesSASHA &amp; THE VALENTINESAustin, TX<a href="https://sashaandthevalentines.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://sashaandthevalentines.bandcamp.com/</a>On their debut LP, So You Think You Found Love? (out via Oof Records), the promising young band has written the soundtrack to your next romance, capable of giving you the curly-phone-cord, calling-your-crush-for-the-first-time kind of butterflies. It follows the release of their 2019 EP, Green, and October-released single “Tears for Mars”—a song that reflects on the parallels between a toxic relationship and that of ours with the Earth. So You Think You Found Love? is a record that is as spectacularly iridescent as an oil spill on asphalt, while being equally as grounded, real, and brutally of consequence.As with any classic rom-com that you already know the ending to, it’s not really about the theme or plotline, but rather, the flutter-your-feet, close-your-eyes-and-imagine-it’s-you, giddy feeling you get from that very first yearned-for kiss. It is with this in mind that Sasha and the Valentines have crafted a nearly perfect record of superlunary pop for lovers and the heavy-hearted alike. It’s not that they’ve reinvented romance but rather that their infectious and nostalgic synth-pop makes love feel worth falling for all over again.LIGHT BEAMSWashington, DC<a href="https://lightbeams.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://lightbeams.bandcamp.com/</a>Light Beams, a D.C. trio that uses samples and a live rhythm section to write songs about staying positive. No computers. No set lists. No dudes staring at screens onstage making music that reduces you to staring at your screen offstage. Instead -- Voila! -- music that makes you move, makes you feel good and never, ever overstays its welcome.Founded in 2015 by drummer Sam Lavine, bassist Arthur Noll, and sampler/vocalist Justin Moyer, Light Beams has risen from the ashes of D.C. bands both legendary and obscure -- and definitely too numerous to mention. &quot;Self-Help,&quot; its first full length released on Don Giovanni records January 31, 2020, fuses its diverse influences -- abstract expressionist painting, Terminator X, 80s New York freestyle, Dischord bands, Sheila E. -- into a spicy melange of cross-genre innovention the band calls &quot;BLOCK ROCK.&quot; Recorded at Solar Power Station, Moyer&#x27;s sun-kissed studio in downtown Washington, and mixed (in yet another twist) by metal legends Brian McTernan (Battery) and Mike Schleibaum (Darkest Hour), this record dares offer listeners overstuffed on streaming services&#x27; offerings something that cannot be contained by any playlist. That is: something new.Like Jackson Pollock, they are nature.<a href="https://lightbeams.bandcamp.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer"></a>AVA MIRZADEGAN (of Pen Palindrome)Philadelphia, PAhttps://penpalindrome.bandcamp.com/album/dilettante-ball-2Ava Mirzadegan writes quiet songs about heartbreak, longing, letting go, and befriending the night sky. Accompanied most often by fingerpicked nylon string guitar, her work feels lonely and unembellished. Plain-spoken lyrics paired with unusual chord clusters result in a subdued type of crushing - not unlike water pooling in a ceiling.It is with this unrelenting tension that the writer begs the question, if a girl falls apart in her room, and no one is around to hear it, does she make a sound? ***COVID PolicyIn order to attend an event at Comet Ping Pong we now require proof of a full COVID-19 vaccination.
