The Pack A.D. / Dead End Armory / Prism Camp / Samuel James

Who The Pack A.D. / Dead End Armory / Prism Camp / Samuel James When Monday, April 27, 2009 8:30pm – 18+ Where SPACE Gallery (map) 538 Congress St Portland, ME, USA 04101 Other Info”Vancouver’s The Pack A.D. are a rock 2 piece, and when we say rock, we mean ROCK. Guitarist Becky Black and drummer Maya Miller’s setup immediately brings to mind the White Stripes, but Becky’s vocals are gritty snarling and pleading, channeling Janis Joplin and Son House simultaneously. Dead End Armory will ease you into the night with their alt-country atmospherics and down-on-the-ground songwriting while one of Portland’s newest bands (thanks to the 48 hr music festival here in February), Prism Camp, will bring the house down at the end of the night with face melting anthems by members of Moneycastasia, Lead Stiletto, Hatchetface & the Vipers, and Swamp Witch Revival. With special guest local bluesman Samuel James. ”
