WGXC’s Intergalactic Futurefunk New Year’s Eve at Avalon!

Get ready Catskill! Leave the car at home, hop on board our spaceship and travel with us to a future-retro lounge in a galaxy far far away.

From 9PM-11PM, we’ll get down to the wildly danceable, groovy, virtuosic funk of Telepathic Moon Dance! TMD played Avalon last month, and as soon as we heard these guys we knew we wanted them to party with us on New Year’s. Bandleader Walker Adams has played drums for St. Vincent and fusion bassist Percy Jones… his lineup of exceptional musicians includes the finest talent of NYC and the Hudson Valley. Tonight will feature Tony DePaolo on guitar and Michael Purcell on keys!

Ring Out the Old, Ring in the New w/ The Felice Brothers at Helsinki Hudson

Undress was recorded in the late summer of 2018 in Tivoli, New York. Band members Ian Felice, James Felice, Will Lawrence (drums) and Jesske Hume (bass) teamed up with producer Jeremy Backofen to record their most personal and reflective album to date.

“Many of the songs on the new album are motivated by a shift from private to public concerns,” says songwriter Ian Felice. “It isn’t hard to find worthwhile things to write about these days, there are a lot of storms blooming on the horizon and a lot of chaos that permeates our lives. The hard part is finding simple and direct ways to address them.”

Undress follows the band’s 2016 album Life In The Dark, and finds the group in a very different place three years later. Between personnel changes, families growing and the political landscape, the result is a tighter, more-paired down release. “Every song is a story,” said James Felice. “On this album everything was a bit more thoughtful, including the arrangements, the sonic quality and the harmonies.”

TIME: Doors: 6pm / Show: 9pm
