Ekko Astral with Asher White

Tuesday, June 2, 2026

8:00 pm

to

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the 2024 U.S. General Election, Ekko Astral’s second album the beltway is burning was always intended as a real-time historical document in the form of a dark comedy.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.

Rafay Rashid Album Release with NOVA ONE and EDT

July 21, 2023
8:00 pm
Rafay Rashid, born in Islamabad, Pakistan and based in Providence, Rhode Island, makes experimental pop songs that are confessional, ecstatic, and confrontational. His writing emerges as a response to growing up a Muslim kid in a post 9/11 America. Ravi Shavi, the name of his band, became a persona and vehicle for both radical healing and punk empowerment as he crafted a niche amidst the experimental noise and folk music scenes of Providence, Rhode Island in the late 00’s.
