Friday, March 22 – The Wire Presents Dinner and a Suit

Performing With:
Sunset Pilgrims
Northern Skylights
Ocean Hands

$10 – All Ages – Doors 7PM

The Wire is proud to have Dinner and a Suit join us this Friday, March 22, along with Sunset Pilgrims, Ocean Hands and Northern Skylights. They were recently named a Buzzworthy Band by MTV and have also been included in MTV2′s Projekt Revolution, the Vans Warped Tour and tours throughout the East Coast and Midwest.

“Peddling hooky, anthemic jams backed by passionate pop vocals, Dinner And A Suit — Jonathan Capeci, Joey Beretta and Anthony Genca — bring to mind a handful of piano-driven pop-rock favorites such as Coldplay, Jack’s Mannequin, and The Fray — but without any of the shmaltz people immediately and unfairly pin on piano-driven pop-rock”

Saturday, December 15 – $10 – All Ages – Doors 7PM

This week’s IE Weekly Music Feature is an interview with Abandoned Pools‘ Tommy Walter discussing his past with The Eels and how words of encouragement, messages and posts from die-hard fans on social media is responsible for the project’s resurgence.

The “Sublime Currency” lyrics say it all: “I can push the buttons/I can wrestle with the phantoms/Till I see that all the best things happen naturally.” This too shall pass, Walters says, just hang on long enough and it will all make sense.

There is more to life than what overwhelms you, like nature, spirituality, art, science, philosophy and more, Walter says: “It should all be some sort of sublime currency.”

The foursome formed almost by accident when Grasso and Russell Chase’s former band The Recovery Act broke up and Adam Hernetiaux and Tim Kneezle happened to be the perfect jam partners. This week, the band releases its first record…“
