Memoryhouse is the ambient bedroom project of composer Evan Abeele and photographer Denise Nouvion, but according to their tumblr, they now have a five piece band line-up! Wait, there’s more –
If you didn’t get tickets to The Antlers and Little Scream tonight at Music Hall of Williamsburg, here’s what show you should see instead: alternative pop duo Naked Hearts at Glasslands. Haussmann starts off the night at 8pm, with She Keeps Bees is next in the lineup, followed by electronic pop ensemble Keepaway, then Naked
