Sammy Rae & The Friends - the GET DOWN!
About This Event
Sammy Rae & The Friends play the Brooklyn Paramount with support from Melt. Both acts favor tight ensemble playing and quick tonal shifts: Sammy Rae's jazz-pop and rock-rooted arrangements emphasize rhythmic drive and precise interplay, while Melt draws from the early-1990s Japanese underground, using speed, distortion and abrupt, percussive phrasing as compositional tools.
