Our second annual Sound Series Block Party is less than two weeks away, and limited tickets are still available. Featuring live performances by Kurt Vile and the Violators, Mexican Institute of Sound, and Sudan Archives, spend the evening outdoors, as part of The Pop District, in our North Shore neighborhood. Food and beverages will be available for purchase on site, along with hands-on T-shirt, tote bag, or poster making.
PERFORMANCES
5:30 p.m.
Mexican Institute of Sound, led by Camilo Lara, blends his eclectic interests in Cumbia and a range of Latin American genres with infectious beat-driven arrangements and a DIY/punk and high energy aesthetic.
7 p.m.
Sudan Archives is a unique solo performer who has emerged as an inventive avant-garde violinist and experimental beatmaker who loops and layers her violin and vocals to create a new minimalist hybrid approach to blending classical, West African, and hip-hop and R&B influences.
8:30 p.m.
We welcome back Philadelphia-based songwriter and guitarist Kurt Vile as headliner of our Block Party. He is touring in support of his latest album, Watch My Moves, which marks his major-label debut on Verve Records, the label that coincidentally released the classic Velvet Underground and Nico album in 1967.
