Events for Weekend of April 10

Shadows Lie at Crash Mansion in New York City

shadowslie

If you love rock, you’ll love these guys. I have seen them live and they are phenomenal. They will be playing the next installment of Gotham Rocks on Saturday April 11 at Crash Mansion located on 199 Bowery (at Spring St.).

The music of Shadows Lie is a dark, intense blend of heavy guitars reminiscent of Staind, Portishead-like electronics, Days of the New type acoustic guitars, and vocal stylings ranging from Tori Amos to Incubus. The songwriting is distinctive and intensely emotional yet concise and mature at the same time. For more information, go to www.shadowslie.com.
