NORTHERN STATE

ALL AGES SHOW! EARLY SHOW!

Congress loves feeling good, and by feeling good we mean having great bands that make us pop up and down with our hands in the air!

Here’s a little introduction from the girls themselves:

We’ve been friends for a very long time. Our names are Sprout, Hesta Prynn and Spero. We grew up together in deep suburban Long Island and found ourselves living in NYC after college. One night at a party at Hesta Prynn’s apartment we had the idea to start a rap group. So we did.

And like that, Northern State was conceived…and they are blowing up! Sharing the stage in the US and Europe with acts like The Roots, Le Tigre, Talib Kweli, De La Soul, The Gossip, Gym Class Heroes, Tegan and Sara and Cake, they are currently on an extensive European tour with Tegan and Sara. Some of you may remember them for opening for T&S earlier this year. Making fans left and right, they rock the house Northern State style. We are super proud to have them on our stage.

- Check out this shoutout they got in the nation’s top weekly entertainment dispenser: Entertainment Weekly:

Joining Northern States is The Dollyrots!

.

The Dollyrots are one girl and two boys. They’re a punk band but their CDs are very pop. Simple and very good. Expect a lot of straight foward, unabashed pop coming from these rotten dollies!
