PORCHES with JAPANESE BREAKFAST and RIVERGAZER

PORCHES

When Aaron Maine looks back on his early work as Porches, he’s often struck by how sad and angry it can feel. “That music turned out a lot more pessimistic than I intended it to be,” he says. “But when I took a sad moment and turned it into a song, it was a cathartic, positive, and clean process. For me, those moments were victories. Feeling better,” he adds, “was making a song.”

SPECIAL GUESTS:

JAPANESE BREAKFAST

A side project from her work as front woman of Philadelphia indie punk band Little Big League, Michelle Zauner released a tape in June 2013 under the solo moniker Japanese Breakfast. The tape was titled June and boasted thirty tracks written and recorded every day of the month. A stark deviation from Little Big League’s guitar- based indie rock, it showcased Zauner’s dark lyrics, unique vocals and inherent knack for pop melody.

RIVERGAZER

Rivergazer is the musical project of of London-born, New York-bred songwriter, Kevin Farrant. Since 2011 he has quietly self-released music and played in a variety of bands including guitar with childhood friend Aaron Maines’ Porches. (Exploding In Sound). On Random Nostalgia, Rivergazer’s first full length studio, Farrant teamed up with producer Hunter Davidsohn and longtime friend and multi-instrumentalist, Kolson Pickard to achieve a bigger conceptual sound.
