Tortured Soul
From the event description:
Before DJs evolved into global superstars, musicians carried the baton. The Brooklyn-based dance trio, Tortured Soul, is not trying to intently rewrite the logic of todays EDM with the sweat of their own musicianship, but they are living proof that the very same music can be freed from the DJ booth. Influenced by the classic songcraft of Prince, Heatwave and Kool & The Gang, the members of Tortured Soul are three distinctive guys with three different backgrounds, united under a groove-centered rhythm.
When: Thursday, Aug. 29, 9-11:30 p.m.
Where: The New Parish, 1743 San Pablo Ave.
Admission: $15 (Advance). Additional ticket options are available.
