DJ Nick at Nite is a guitar set built on volume, edges, and immediacy. Zebulon puts DJ Nick at Nite close enough to the band for the songs to do the work.

Al LoverLater this weekDanceHip-hopOffbeat
Thu, Aug 20 · Zebulon · Frogtown
  • Standing room

Al Lover sounds most distinctive in psychedelic beat music, sample heavy hip hop, dubby electronics, and garage rock-adjacent remixes. Zebulon gives the bill a room with some looseness in it.
