White Laces are a Richmond-based rock band with a flair for electronic elements, originally active from 2010–2016. They reactivated this year for the Tonal Recall festival and are thrilled to return to Gallery 5 for an encore performance with an expanded original lineup.
Cor de Lux emerged from North Carolina's Outer Banks, far removed from the scenes and infrastructure that typically nurture experimental rock bands. Rather than relocate, vocalist/guitarists Dawn Moraga and Tim Lusk, bassist John Bliven, and drummer Jacob Richardson built their own local scene. Through a pair of self-released records (Cor de Lux in 2020, and Media in 2023), relentless rehearsals, and a growing reputation for blistering live shows, the band developed their own sound, folding shoegaze, post-hardcore and art rock into something distinctly their own. The Chicago Reader praised Cor de Lux's "propulsive energy," while Post-Trash noted the band's ability to weave "meditative ambience and rushing percussion" into a singular experience.
REVERSE YR CURSE are making an artful, nuanced sort of indie rock music culled from decades worth of equally oversized record collections and neuroses. Their debut LP, "Where Are We Going and When Will We Get There?", pulls off a casual pop intimacy, steeped in nostalgia, with a freshness ironically achieved through maturity.
