Folk-punk band Out of System Transfer started the evening off strong, with solo artist Brook Pridemore following after with his own style of alt-rock. Manic Pixi came next and got the crowd up and moving with their infectious energy and pop-grunge music. From there, the night moved on to Brooklyn-local rockers The Fancy Balloons, and an intensely emotional set from The Shackeltons. Grundle Thunder brought their punk-rock vibe to the evening with a set that kept the crowd moving, and the evening ended strong with powerful sets from alternative-psych-rock band Cosmonaut, and Brooklyn natives Great Caesar.
