El Pelican of the Lewiston-Clarkston Valley

El Pelican 6:10 p.m. The Clarkston-based duo El Pelican formed in 2013 and features Brian Baugh on guitar, vocals and bass and Joe Hightower on drums and percussion. Grounded in alternative rock, the band’s work emphasizes thoughtful lyrics in songs like “The Ant & the Yellow Jacket” and “Self Aware Universe.” The band is working on an album it plans to release in September.

The Twine 6:55 p.m. Members of the Twine concur the best description of their sound is “comedic punkacana.” With Marvin Lee on guitar, Nathanael Tucker on violin and fiddle and Austin Moody on stand up bass, this nearly 1 year old Lewiston-Clarkston Valley band draws inspiration from groups like the Melvins and John Prine.

Snoozy Moon 7:15 p.m. Born and ripened in Pocatello, Idaho, the band Snoozy Moon leans toward progressive, psychedelic rock. Influences include obscure early ‘70s groups like Gong, Soft Machine, Can and Tangerine Dream; along with more contemporary bands like the Flaming Lips. Elements of jazz, rock and weirdness are blended in a swoon of varied time signatures, complex bass lines, modified organ sound using a homemade Leslie speaker cabinet, and an effected theremin. Band members are Andrew Peterson, drums, vocals; Mark Charles, organ, guitar, theremin; and Anna Rochelle, bass.
