Alex Bleeker & The Freaks
Flower Orgy

Grimeys – 6pm

Alex Bleeker is the bass player for Jersey lo-fi upstarts Real Estate. If Alex Bleeker & the Freaks sound a lot like Real Estate, don’t be too surprised; the two bands’ lineups have a 75% overlap. The Freaks also include Real Estate frontman Martin Courtney IV and guitarist Matt Mondanile (aka Ducktails). The only Real Estate member who doesn’t do double-duty as a Freak, in fact, is drummer Etienne Pierre Duguay. Fellow Jersey lo-fi guy Julian Lynch rounds out the Freaks’ lineup. Flower Orgy, from Brooklyn, offer supremely damaged hippie folk. Both bands are touring together so we booked a double-bill in-store for ya!
