CITY RAIN
City Rain is Ben Runyan and Jarrett Zerrer, an electro-pop duo from Philadelphia. Taking their cues from artists as diverse as La Roux, Above & Beyond, Nitrous Oxide, and Depeche Mode, City Rain have created a unique an accessible form of music combining dancefloor beats, soulful vocals, keyboard riffs, and fuzzy, hooky guitar licks. Equal parts space-rock and acid-laced ear candy, the band sits in that comfortable zone between art-rock and liquid electro jams.

With the 2011 release of their video for the single I’m Gone and accompanying EP, City Rain has received nationwide attention from the blogosphere and conventional media alike, recording a broadcast for Philadelphia’s WXPN 88.5 FM, while continuing to remix and release new material of their own and other artists. Now with plans for a national tour in 2012, City Rain is poised to bring their music to an even wider audience.



WASHED OUT
Washed out is the stage name of the American Chillwave musician Ernest Greene.

Washed Out made his debut New York City performance (his second live show ever) at Santos Party House. He has since performed at the 2010 Pitchfork Music Festival and his song “Feel it All Around” is featured in the opening sequence of the TV series Portlandia.
