SafetyBear and Novparolo at the Shipyard!

It's more than the weather that'll be hot at the Shipyard this Summer! Join us for a dance party with local bands Safety Bear and Novparolo!

Safety Bear (drum machine guitar, vocals) is a DC-based HiNRG electronic artist that mingles retro dance beats and immersive atmospheres with subject matter typically alien to the dance floor. Safety Bear offers pulsing originals and re-imagined Hi-NRG dance classics in the delightful guise of a neurotic teddy bear. (As earlier incarnation of Safety Bear was previously known as Data Recovery Project.) SafetyBearBand.com

Novparolo creates cinematic scores for films which haven’t even been made yet, but which just through their sonic grace conjure a thousand images...It is chamber-synth-pop, but with gentle, futuristic electronica replacing the more traditional sounds and beats which seem only to guide and structure rather than drive the music. Novparolo

Admission is by donation with donations being split between the bands and Abodes Joy, a Maryland-based nonprofit that helps women and families address housing needs and maintain safe and welcoming living spaces that promote comfort, a sense of well-being, and sustainability.
