Roxplosion Presents Natural Velvet, Park Snakes, Heavy Breathing at Dangerously Delicious Pies

Go see Roxplosion present Natural Velvet, Park Snakes, and Heavy Breathing this Friday at Pie Shop DC.

Natural Velvet is an up and coming post punk / noise rock band from Baltimore, MD. They are known for a distinct sound that is both aggressive and catchy, playing with elements of art rock, noise, post punk and shoegaze. Conceptually, their music discusses ideas of aggression, violence, femininity, and identity, using personal narratives and dark conceptual themes found in literary and film tropes. At times confrontational, at times seductive, the music guides the listener through dark rolling narratives of identity, existence and femininity. Their new album “Mirror To Make You” moves between aggressive noise rock anti-anthems and heavy, brooding gaze/pop.

Zach Renovátes, Kinetic Presents: In the Name of Love For All

As a producer bringing some major events to Capital Pride this year, Zach Renovátes admits that he was keen to get Betty Who on the lineup. After having seen several of her live performances already, Renovátes knew the Australian would make a fine marquee addition to the “Kinetic Presents Candyland” event at Echostage June 10.

Fortunately, she was both available and interested.

“Something that I personally saw was that [Betty Who] is one of the most pro-LGBT singer-songwriters I’ve ever ever seen perform live,” Renovátes said, adding that the D.C. audiences at her concerts come largely from within the gay community. “So she absolutely knows that we as queer people make up a huge percentage of her fan base.”
The June 10 event is the main draw of a weekend of collaborations between Kinetic Presents and the Capital Pride Alliance in celebration of D.C. Pride 2023. Other big names who will play at various venues around the District include DJs Abel and Cindel, Dan Slater, as well as Jerac and Paulo Fragoso. It’ll be a pride-filled musical weekend indeed, with Echostage, Sax, Bunker and Bliss Nightclub hosting the pulsing sounds of revelry. And there’s also the big parade on June 10.
