    About This Event

    Charm Bracelet, Sumu and Piper Toohey appear on a Lower East Side rock/pop bill at Arlene's Grocery, with Alex Crossland, a visual storyteller, listed alongside them. The three bands have circulated through the same small-venue circuit and often share lineups in the neighborhood. Their sets generally favor tight song structures, direct vocal delivery and guitar parts used as much for rhythm as for color, with emphasis on arrangement and pacing rather than spectacle.
