A Rooftop Session from Under the Clothesline
plus a spotlight on Lab Two Twelve and Live at 13
Spread across Northeast PA and the Lehigh Valley are the four members of Under the Clothesline, a sleazy garage psych band who have begun to make an impression on the Valley’s music fans in the last couple of years. Under the Clothesline wear their music’s grime on their sleeves, sounding dirty and dingy with a disarmingly relaxed vocal style that seems to hint at something sinister lurking just beneath the surface. The band has previously performed at one of Tape Swap’s shows at the Ice House in Bethlehem and our stage at Allentown ArtsFest. The band joined us on top of the Cigar Factory for a Rooftop Session on a cold, windy day in April 2018.
We also feature interviews and song selections from some of the young up-and-comers behind new ventures in the Valley's DIY music scene. First, Chandler Davis, Zak Gerhart, and Pat Lilly from multi-media production company Lab Two Twelve stop by. Then, later in the show, we pick up on that conversation with Chris Kennedy from DIY Easton show space Live at 13.
