Avatareden headline The Broadway with Ultra Deluxe, Pretty Bitter, Battlemode and F*gg*t Band 7:00PM Doors // 8:00PM Show 21+ $15 Ultra Deluxe Part screamo, part chiptune, overtly 8-bit, and always aggressive, Ultra Deluxe displays a wide variety of instrumentation. The anticipated synthesizers give way to harmonica, distortion and orchestra strings dance in a noise punk ode to Nintendo. A dark yet uplifting tone defined by driving bass lines and screams that echo the struggles of the proletariat. Pretty Bitter Pretty Bitter is an indie dreamo band based in DC. Since the release of their debut album, Hinges, in 2022, they've been offering a cathartic and energizing live experience across the east coast and beyond, and captivating audiences with an easy to love blend of lush synth pop and emo-adjacent indie rock. In their DNA, you could pick out a wide variety of influences, but it hasn’t taken long for them to synthesize those influences into something distinctly Pretty Bitter. Battlemode BATTLEMODE IS THE VIBRANT AND IRREPRESSIBLY ENERGETIC WORK OF MISMATCHED BUT INSEPARABLE FRIENDS ASTRO, BIFF, AND SAM. TOGETHER THEY CREATE DYNAMIC ELECTRO POP THAT EMBRACES THE SOUNDS OF THE PAST IN ORDER TO LOOK FORWARD; INCORPORATING THE GLITCHY 8-BIT CHIPTUNE SOUNDS THAT ACCOMPANIED ADOLESCENT DAYS SPENT PLAYING GAMEBOYS, AND REINVIGORATING THEM AMONGST CONTEMPORARY SYNTH TONES AND FRESH BEATS.
