The Fourth Wall, Balto, Fur Coats

Psych-tinged indie rock from some of our favorite up-and-coming locals. The Fourth Wall is a rock band originally from Hawai'i consisting of members Stephen Agustin, Kasey Shun, Paul Brittain, and Max Lilien. Originally a solo project, Agustin wrote and recorded alone in his home for a year and a half, following the break-up of his previous band, Our Distance (who had been the support act for the Kooks in 2008 and Of Montreal in 2009). These demo recordings were kept relatively secret, being handed out only to a few close friends. With growing encouragement from these friends, Stephen sought to form a band in order to perform these songs live. In the fall of 2010, guitarist Kasey Shun, Bassist Paul Brittain, and drummer Kimo Short joined Stephen to form The Fourth Wall. Their style is primarily lyrically driven and draws from a wide range of musical influences including Neil Young, The Band, My Bloody Valentine, and Sonic Youth. $5.00 day of show 21+
