When Ekko Astral dropped their searing debut pink balloons in 2024, it would be another year and change before Trump took office and deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. Recorded immediately after the 2024 U.S. General Election, Ekko Astral’s second album the beltway is burning was always intended as a real-time historical document in the form of a dark comedy. Each song plays out like a vignette, with Ekko Astral beckoning listeners into their fictionalized version of The Beltway (the area within I-495), in which Adam Sandler is a god-president and the DMV has become a demilitarized zone, a wasteland run by butt rockers and Soundcloud rappers.

Join us for a night of celebration and conversation about the 2017 Pawtucket Arts Festival! Funds generated support local artists and the collaborative public art projects they plan to create around Pawtucket. Plus works by Pneuhaus in the gallery.
GOLD DIME (NYC) - Andrya from Talk Normal's new jam, spectral rock that creeps up on you like watching a photo develop in a chemical bath. SUICIDE MAGNETS (PVD) - Wendy's squall always hits below the belt and leaves you as soul-satisfied as a half-remembered dream of travel to a distant, unforgiving land. TASKMASTER (PVD) - Floor-based sonic explorations that give more than they take, you'll emerge refreshed and clear-eyed like you just stepped out of the float tank. BABY;BABY (PVD) - PVD's nouvellest of nouvelle vague, theys got the herky-jerk spasmodic spurt-spurt on lock. DJ HAND OF FOOD - between set entertainment provided by the famous slapstick duo of Dave Public and E Guy Schreiber!
