The Rocket Summer will perform the seminal sophomore album as well as an additional set of songs from each album to date. Dubbed “a master of creating anthems” by Paste Magazine and named by Alternative Press as “100 artists you need to know”, multi-instrumentalist, songwriter and producer, Bryce Avary, better known as The Rocket Summer has been a musical force since exploding onto the scene as a teenager in the early 2000s. With several albums in his growing discography debuting in top Billboard Alternative charts, Avary recently returned with the ever evolved electrified full-length album, shadowkasters, then followed with the stripped down acoustic rooted single, Don't Be Yourself, which were both named by Rolling Stone as “Songs You Need To Know”. **About Mae** https://www.whatismae.com/ From the moment of their inception, MAE have existed in the cross-sectional spaces of creation. Art and innovation. Intricacy and accessibility. Beauty and chaos. Head and heart. Theirs was always a meticulous crafting of soundscapes; painstakingly deliberate and blissfully spontaneous. Multisensory Aesthetic Experience, the band’s first full-length release in nearly a decade, is the arguable realization of their aspirations since conception. There is a liberation that occurs within the first few notes of the album, an untethering of the straight jacket of expectations. The album dips and crescendos moment to moment, song to song with seamless ferocity. From the DMT-infused retro-space odyssey groove of “Kaleidoscope,” to the Byrne-esque mayhem of “The Overview,” to the contemplative hypnosis of “Simple Words,” the resulting experience is one that is visceral, impassioned, expansive—and yes, even transcendent. But for as much as Multisensory Aesthetic Experience represents the realization of Dave Elkins, Zach Gehring and Jacob Marshall’s collective creative vision, it’s the other aspects of the band’s new chapter that will facilitate its true culmination. Utilizing virtual reality, haptics, and even fragrance to bring the swelling soundscapes to life with new kind of embodiment and in deeper immersion, the band invites its audience on an expanded journey to realms yet unreached. In short, a Multisensory Aesthetic Experience Underground Arts Presents This is a 21+ event
