Noise Pop Festival 2020 Presents:Video Age at Brick &amp; Mortar Music HallWith support from Luna Luna, The Y Axes, Adam BrookesWednesday, February 26, 2020Under 21 must buy $5 drink ticket at the door—On Video Age’s forthcoming album Pop Therapy, out June 15 via Inflated Records, longtime friends and songwriting partners Ross Farbe and Ray Micarelli conjure up a thrilling assortment of experimental pop songs. Using a palette of vintage synthesizers and the propulsion of a Sequential Circuits Drumtraks drum machine, the New Orleans-based group’s buoyant synth-pop echoes from some imagined vision of the past, leaning on an invented nostalgia to soundtrack an ideal future that never arrived. Video Age brings that future fully to life on Pop Therapy.Emerging from New Orleans’ DIY scene and label collectives, Farbe and Micarelli were intrigued by each other’s songwriting among several curiously satisfying guitar pop bands. As a producer and prolific engineer, Farbe has helmed some of the most exciting releases from genre-pushing New Orleans artists, whose singular visions are made possible with his gifted ear and love of tape recording. Micarelli’s talent for crafting simple, tangible melodies complements Farbe’s studio world-building, letting ideas drift until they emerge into impressive arrangements.The pair’s seemingly effortless gift for crafting earworm hooks was glimpsed on their 2016 debut Living Alone, a gorgeous collection of guitar-driven melancholy. On Pop Therapy, they’re joined by Duncan Troast, Nick Corson and Jordan Odom, taking inspiration from the limitless possibility on sonic canvases of the late 1970s and early 1980s (Yellow Magic Orchestra, McCartney II, Donald Fagen’s The Nightfly). Where Living Alonecatalogued the solitude of reflecting on what was and could have been, the sentimental love songs on Pop Therapy gaze longingly at the likeliness of a brighter tomorrow.

Luna Luna —With the release of their shimmering debut EP For Lovers Only, Luna Luna combined the innocence of teenage love with dreamy retro synthpop and gave us slow-burning indie pop hits like “80s Tune” and “For You.” The record also cemented them as a crew of hopeless romantics, playing house parties across Texas and building up a fan base eager to turn up, swoon and slow dance. The band is comprised of 5 members. Kavvi on production/vocals, Danny on keys/vocals, Kaylin on Drums, Gordo on Bass and Neko-Dan on guitar. Their musical influences range from Tame Impala, Mac Demarco, to Frank Ocean and The Beatles. The band released their second project "Carousel" on October 2019 Taking on a more mature sound, straying away from heavy synth sounds and focusing more on groove.
