Experience: The quartet has been playing music since early 2012. Its first EP, “transmissions from the midwest: a real-america tribute,” came out in August 2012.

Live show: “We want it to be a really inviting experience for everyone involved.”
Influences: Walter has Majical Cloudz, Adult Jazz, Bully and My Brightest Diamond on repeat lately.
Upcoming performance: May 29 at Beat Kitchen
