Special Performances from the Golden Hours, Orca Team, and El Rey!!
Sunday, July 18th, 9pm FREE. IT'S FREE! It's Always Free…

Thanks to everyone who made last week's Loch Lomond show a smashing success, this week we welcome three very different, totally killer lo-fi(ish) pop groups — the Golden Hours,  Orca Team, and El Rey!!

Headlining tonight's show, The Golden Hours are as sweet and fuzzed out a pop band as you could ever hope to find. This quietly prodicious four piece recall a sweeter Raveonettes, a poppier Thee Oh Sees, and a rougher Yo La Tengo in equal measure.  Singer Eliza Sohn uses the fuzzier vocal effects expertly, never hiding behind them, instead enhancing the songs themselves with a richer, fuller pop vibe.  It's no understatement to say that the unitiated will walk out smitten, flabbergasted not to know them already.

Joining The Golden Hours is the wonderful Orca Team, who lean a bit more lo-fi than the Golden Hourss brighter, twinklier tunes. A perfect compliment to tonight's other bands, Orca Team's minimal, spaced-out kick is oddly timeless. Rooted in early experimental rock without sounding derivative or, Orca Team take a sound that, in the wrong, hands, might sound oddly retro, but in theirs is wonderfully futuristic.

Rounding out the bill, El Rey embrace their throwback underpinnings for a delightfully 60's rock sound!
