S.A.D.R. – SEASONAL AFFECTIVE DISORDER RELIEF with: Overly Polite Tornadoes, Vida Eterna, Discus, Blood At Ease

S.A.D.R. (an acronym for Seasonal Affective Disorder Relief) is coming to Bell’s Brewery in February.  Come join us for a night of live music and community to lift your spirits from the darkness and fenderbergs of our Michigan Winter.  There is often less live music happening this time of year, and this show is meant to fill that void for people in need.  

OVERLY POLITE TORNADOES are a veteran Kalamazoo-based duo formed by multi-instrumentalists who also play in the local and beloved dream-pop/shoegaze band Tambourina. They write tightly constructed songs that pull from shoegaze, post-punk, and early indie rock, using guitar loops, analog textures, live drums and tender harmonies to build intensity without clutter. Their music carries a quiet confidence, pairing clarity and distortion in a way that feels deliberate, ecstatic, and deeply human.

BLOOD AT EASE is the project of songwriter, singer, and multi-instrumentalist Bailey Miller. With friends and family hailing from the Great Lakes region, Miller presents a unique style of folk-song that alternates “between gently plucked melodies and raucous explosions of sound.”

DISCUS are a breezy Indie rock band from Chicago, IL.  What started as two brothers writing songs in their childhood basement has bloomed into an artful and melodic five piece ensemble.  Sure to please fans of The Radio Dept, Broadcast, Earlimart, or The American Analog Set.

VIDA ETERNA is comprised of Kalamazoo’s own April & Adam Zimont (Tambourina), Matthew Willsea (Cardboard Highway, Create Clean Slate) and Lachlan Roderick Wallace MacQuarrie.  Together they dazzle with their unique blend of ethereal dreampop, hypnotic textures, and shoegaze leanings.
