« Pittsburgh Net Radio Mix: Lucia Aguirre's Kaleidoscope Eclectic Episode 1 (Archive Show) | Main | Concert Preview: La Fraction w/ Short Dark Strangers, Mass Grave, Oh Shit They're Going To Kill Us and Blood Vessels to Wires @ Belvedere's - Thursday May 3rd »

Concert Preview: The Nerd Parade, Shug Avery, Elliott Sussman and David Shultz @ Garfield Artworks Tuesday May 1st

The Nerd Parade play a mix of styles ranging from electronica, experimental sounds, indie rock and rhythm and blues. The have a 14 song release, "A Delicate Bashing", currently available at their website. The entire disc was recorded in bedrooms and hotel rooms across the United States and as far as England within a four year time span. Their live set seems to be a good time with guitar improvisations and driving drums.

Opening tonight's show is the talented Elliott Sussman from Pittsburgh. Elliott definitely won me over on first listen. Check out his My Space page for more tracks plus he has a Purevolume page of cover songs from The Shirelles, Tom Waits, Modern Lovers and The Beatles. Richmond's David Shultz is a folk artist with some pop sensibilities and well crafted songs in the vein of Bright Eyes or Coldplay. Both Sussman and Shultz should be on WYEP if they aren't already.

There is another opener, Shug Avery, that I couldn't find any details about. My apologies for failing you!
