Live Bands - After Party at the Metro Gallery!!
We’re happy to announce a very exciting After Party for SocialDevCamp. After a day of learning and sharing the latest and greatest in Tech, Web and Social Media we will reconvene at the Metro Gallery to partake in more networking, light to heavy drinking and a live show.
The Show
Opening the show is
Natasha El-Sergany is a singer/songwriter in her second year of law school in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She has been writing songs on the same guitar since she was fourteen. Her music layers sleepy, simple guitar riffs with lush vocals that get that under your skin. Influences include Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake.
Followed by Baltimore's own KADMAN - KADMAN originated as the project of David Manchester, a singer/songwriter armed with the influences of contemporary artists such as Iron & Wine, Mark Kozelek, Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. After seven years performing solo & acoustic, David joined forces with his brother Mitch, on bass and drummer Matt Smith to expand the sound of KADMAN. Influenced by the minimalist beauty of Low and the droning shoegazer elements of Yo La Tengo, the trio experiments with guitar loops and textures and continue to evolve into what is described as neo-american sadcore. Kadman now welcomes bassist James Bahleda into the mix as Kadman continues to push forward on their second studio album, due out in the fall of 2009.
And DC Based Ra Ra Rasputin
Ra Ra Rasputin formed in the spring of 2007 and since then have been
developing a unique approach to dance rock. Rather than rely on just
four-on-the-floor beats and "angular" guitars, they incorporate analog
synthesizers, elements of African and Latin rhythms and minimalism And
while some of their work may feature flourishes of experimental music,
their number one priority is having fun. Their shows in Washington DC
and New York have been frantic and sweaty affairs. They are currently
working on their debut EP and have a few other surprises up their
sleeves.
Their influences include, but are not limited to, Roxy
Music, Antena, Liquid Liquid, Orange Juice, Talking Heads, Blonde
Redhead and New Order.
