SPF 5000

SPF 5000 brings a futurist’s approach to funk, house, disco, and hip-hop.  This is proven on their March 2012 release, “Doorknocker” (Nervous Records). They are Boston’s 25^th century electro-swing unit featuring vocalist extraordinaire/songwriter/arranger Amy Douglas, producer/ bassist and overall sonic magic man, Rob Phillips, and vocalist, show-starter and rebel-rouser, Daymeyn Gantt. The band’s dance-inspired style will take on new shapes and sounds when SPF 5000 helps blast Somerville into a bastion of swing.

Goddamn Glenn and the Parlour Bells Players

Parlour Bells are best known as Boston’s dark and dusky romantic noir pop outfit. Founded by Nate Leavitt and Glenn di Benedetto in 2010, the journey from a two-man band into a full-fledged outfit came to fruition in 2011 with the addition of Brendan Boogie on bass and Magen Tracy on vocals and keyboards. Look forward to them stepping up and out of their pop splendor in honor of the inaugural Lounge Act. The band is set to release their second EP, “Thank God for the Night” in December.

Ruby Rose Fox

Ruby Rose Fox, Boston’s resident singing-songwriting powerhouse whose genre bending neo-soul-lounge-pop majesty blends contemporary styles with those of earlier times. Echoes of Leonard Cohen, Patti Smith, and Roy Orbison are heard in Ruby’s nostalgic flair. While she is just launching her solo career, Ruby began singing for the area Ska band, Mass Hysteria at the age of 15. Ruby’s self-titled solo debut was released in July 2012.
