SocialDevCamp Afterparty – Live Music and Signiture Drinks

SocialDevCamp is back and it’s only two weeks away!! Just like last time, we have some great sessions proposed and people are coming form the Amtrak corridor to discuss the future of the social web and of our growing community.

We’re planning some additional things from the last SocialDevCamp to make the event more exciting and productive for all who will attend. One thing we want to ensure happens, besides the sharing of ideas, is some solid networking and getting to know each other.

Also, we’ve plan a very exciting afterparty!! We have booked The Metro Gallery which is a few blocks away from the University of Baltimore to bring you live entertainment.

The Show

Kicking off the after party will be Natasha El-Sergany

Natasha El-Sergany is a singer/songwriter in her second year of law school in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. She has been writing songs on the same guitar since she was fourteen. Her music layers sleepy, simple guitar riffs with lush vocals that get that under your skin. Influences include Fiona Apple, Jeff Buckley, and Nick Drake.

Followed by:

KADMAN

KADMAN originated as the project of David Manchester, a singer/songwriter armed with the influences of contemporary artists such as Iron & Wine, Mark Kozelek, Nick Drake and Elliot Smith. After seven years performing solo & acoustic, David joined forces with his brother Mitch, on bass and drummer Matt Smith to expand the sound of KADMAN. Influenced by the minimalist beauty of Low and the droning shoegazer elements of Yo La Tengo, the trio experiments with guitar loops and textures and continue to evolve into what is described as neo-american sadcore. Kadman now welcomes bassist James Bahleda into the mix as Kadman continues to push forward on their second studio album, due out in the fall of 2009.

And Finally:

Ra Ra Rasputin

Ra Ra Rasputin formed in the spring of 2007 and since then have been developing a unique approach to dance rock. Rather than rely on just four-on-the-floor beats and “angular” guitars, they incorporate analog synthesizers, elements of African and Latin rhythms and minimalism And while some of their work may feature flourishes of experimental music, their number one priority is having fun. Their shows in Washington DC and New York have been frantic and sweaty affairs. They are currently working on their debut EP and have a few other surprises up their sleeves.

Their influences include, but are not limited to, Roxy Music, Antena, Liquid Liquid, Orange Juice, Talking Heads, Blonde Redhead and New Order.
