The velvet hour

There was a nicely varied bill at Pressed last week - some electronica from Transmit vs. Intangerines, punk from new locals Torpor and some swell shoegaze from Baltimore's Natural Velvet. Here's Transmit vs. Intangerines (or Transmit and Intangerines, if you prefer) in action!

Natural Velvet also did a great job wrapping things up with some wall-of-noise post-punk. Here's guitarist Spike!
