 * Description: HONK! is a huge street spectacle, completely free and open to the public. HONK! bands are joyous community bands who blend traditions of second line and klezmer, funk and bollywood, mardi gras and carnival. These bands honk their horns, beat their drums, and wave their flags in the streets to reclaim public space for the purpose of revelry.

Event Name: David Lamb &amp; South China


 * Description: david lamb introduced the first catalog of songs under the name brown bird in the winter of 2002-2003 to friends and family while unemployed and living in seattle. he returned to new england in 2003, and in the spring of 2004, he was joined by friends and former collaborators, jeremy and jerusha robinson, who would continue to be an integral part of brown bird's development over the next 5 years. that year they released their first ep, "tauto". a self-titled ep ensued the following spring. just before their first united states tour, brown bird remixed and combined the two eps into one cd titled, "tautology". their first full-length album, "such unrest", was released in the spring of 2007. in march of 2008 they recorded and released their second full-length album, "the bottom of the sea" on the portland, maine based label "peapod recordings". south china is husband and wife duo jeremy robinson (guitars, accordion, vocals) and jerusha robinson (cello, vocals). their intricately rhythmic and at times instrumental songs are reminiscent of early 20th century french music (a la claude debussy and maurice ravel) and dream pop, with the occasional foray into folk and 90's indie rock. the couple uses minimal lyrics and warm harmonies to evoke a slightly dark and dream-like state, like trying to recall something that is just beyond the edges of memory.

Event Name: Dave End &amp; Maple Rabbit


 * Description: Dave End This acoustic D.I.Y. troubador writes queer cupcake loving honesty pop and focuses on the details that rhyme. In the past 2 years, Dave End has released 2 albums (How to Hold Your Own Hand, Fruits Commonly Mistaken For Vegetables), toured 4,500 miles in a veggie diesel car, made a lot of stuffed animals, and written a 100 page thesis about supermarkets. Listening to Dave End's music is like giving your younger self a hug. It makes you feel like you're okay, not despite your struggles but because of them. His songs are musically charming and give words to thoughts and feelings you didn't know you had! Tackling subject matters like bullying, homophobia, body image and heartbreak, Dave End could easily fall into the slippery traps of self-pity and earnestness, but he manages to keep his songs aloft with humor, bounce, and jamboree-style glee. maple rabbit is a 3-person, all-keyboard video band that prefers their cuteness with edge, their politics with glitz and stop-motion, and their drum machines with careful harmonies. expect matching outfits, melodies that will stick with you for days, and lyrics about everything from school picture day to the end of the world.
