Testökra took the stage at the Vomikaust show this past March and stood out (almost effortlessly) among the other bands that played that night.

The District may not be around anymore but luckily The Vagabond has “reloaded” their weekly Friday party with an arsenal of indie dance magic; guaranteed to bring back that Electric Feel and give the Young FolkWhat You Want and the rest of us what we need – indie rock, dirty disco, house, and electro beats!
Just a little over a year ago we introduced you to local artist, 131 and his projects. Last week, we got word that he will be showing a retrospective of his works created during the past three years.
