THURSDAY, MAR 11, 2010 9PMControlled Storms
Controlled Storms is an experimental indie-rock band from Philadelphia, PA. On stage, the three members shuffle instruments, moving from the standard drums, bass, and electric guitar to dual basses, acoustic guitar, keyboards, sampler, and the occasional trumpet or balafon. Although some songs have vocals, the band creates moods and tells stories without a voice or particular instrument taking the lead. Controlled Storms songs often conjure up elements of post-rock, progressive, ambient, jazz, and world music.

FRIDAY, MAR 12, 2010 9PMPhantasm - CD Release Show
Phantasm creates loud rock mayhem and tight rhythms with cleverly executed outbursts of controlled chaos. This turn-on-a-dime style of rock also contains traces of math and jazz. The sound is paired with powerful yet delicate vocals and dark sarcastic lyrics. The three members are making the music they want to hear, unafraid to go with or against the grain depending on the moment.
