ELLIOTT BROOD w/ The Pack AD

Katherine — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:35:34 +0000

Listening and even seeing the Elliott Brood is what it feels like to travel back in time. They're a trio of well-dressed men playing guitars, banjos, and delivering a sound that will bring you back in time. The Canadian trio will be at the Waiting Room waiting to transport you back with them. Don't miss it! Opening for Elliott Brood is The Pack AD. Like Elliott Brood, this girl duo hails from the North in Canada (Vancouver to be exact). A little more punk and a little less country, they may be a little contrasting to the main act. But they're still worth getting there early for.

THE SEEN w/ 10 O’Clock Scholars & John Klemmensen

Katherine — Wed, 22 Feb 2012 18:11:04 +0000

The Seen started like a lot of Omaha bands, in an apartment in midtown writing a handful of good songs. After that, they recorded their first EP in 2009 and built up a fan base at open mic nights and house parties. They released their second EP and added a few members in 2010 and kept growing from there. Now with its full five-piece lineup, The Seen has released its third EP and is ready to play amongst their friends and neighbors. Show them support at the Waiting Room. Opening for The Seen are the 10 O'Clock Scholars and John Klemmensen.
