If you feel like dancing this weekend, Incredible Change, a new band featuring members of some of your favorite D.C. bands, debuts at a free show tomorrow night, Saturday, May 17, at the Velvet Lounge.
The band is planning to release an album this summer and are teasing it with lead single “Ecce Mono” and its quirky new video. Says lead vocalist Brock Boss about the video, “If anyone you can think of has ever mentioned drum kits in outer space, or even just drums, outer space, or gravity—please share with them. It took a lot of percocet to make this vision come true.”
The witty music vid was produced by Grammy-award winning engineer Drew Doucette, who also mixed the track.
Incredible Change has been a side project of Ra Ra Rasputin’s lead singer Brock Boss for a few years now; his goal was “to incorporate more analog synths and focus on vocals.” He is joined tomorrow night by drummer Nick Valcourt of the now-defunct The State Department, bassist Ed Porter, and guitarist Brandon Moses of Paperhaus and Laughing Man.
The song is available for download on Soundcloud, along with “Perigee Moon,” which features vocalist Deena Hyatt and saxophonist Stefanie Winzeler.
Joining Incredible Change on Saturday night is Motion Lines, a local shoegaze/synth-pop band who, Boss adds, “are awesome to watch; they’ll range from verbed-out guitar, big beat drums, gravelly bass and vocals reminiscent of Jesus and Mary Chain to New Order synth-sounding songs that are fun to move to.”
Between sets, you can enjoy DJs Jazmine, who is spins regularly at Marvin and Bohem, and Omari, bassist for another local favorite, Miyazaki, who DJs the dance party Melange at Velvet Lounge.
