Brooklyn meets Atlanta:

On October 10, at Bar Matchless, we're presenting to you two beloved Atlanta bands hot on the scene and breaking ground in NY, as well as two fast-rising NY musical powerhouses. Basically, this is stuff you have to hear.

There's the melodic, pop-infused sounds of Bears Repeating, the straight-ahead chiming rock of The Swear, the ethereal chanteuse Kai Altair and the glistening, swoon-worthy electro-classical pop of Tealights.
