Strawberry Girls w/Night Verses/Andres/more This is what happens when punk gets lost in the groove.

This show is also a chance to see post-rock outfit Night Verses without its longtime lead singer Douglas Robinson (who left the band in September) and in support of a brand new album, From The Gallery Of Sleep, which it released on June 29 via Equal Vision Records.
