Confuse Them / Desk Job. / Juniper / JFM
About This Event
Arlene's Grocery hosts a four-act bill featuring Confuse Them, Desk Job, Juniper and JFM. The line-up pairs Confuse Them's compact, band-forward rock/pop and JFM's direct songcraft with Desk Job's structured electronic sets, while Juniper — an Irish band that included Damien Rice and other members who went on to Bell X1 and released the EPs The J-Plane and Manna — provides a historical touch.
