Cloud Becomes Your Hand @ AVIV
Cloud Becomes Your Hand makes slightly weird, unapologetically different music that sounds like it came from a different world. Or, if you go by the band’s own description, “a renaissance faire acid trip underwater in grandma's winnebago.” Stream their latest release, Rest In Fleas, here.

Painted Zeros @ Knitting Factory (12:30pm)
Katie Lau records each part of Painted Zeros’ music before bringing it to a live band to learn and perform. Her latest release, Floriography, is a beautifully earnest album.

Sometimes the only way to talk about a band is to quote directly from their bio: “Haybaby is a band of total babes that play honey-ass heartbreak crooning sometimes screamy sludgy pop & slop rock that will make you have some feelings.” If that’s not enough, check out "Joke/Rope.”

This Brooklyn rock band plays tunes that are dark and sinister, yet somehow irresistible as well. Catch them at Palisades before they leave for a mini tour of the Northeast.
