Jooselord, BANGZZ, Real Dad, Azul Zapata, The Muslims

Bull City gonzo arts and culture outlet, The Durham Beat, throws its own birthday celebration this week with an eclectic array of locals: AZULZ opens with soulful, sultry, piano-based beauty while Real Dad’s retro synthpop is dark and gorgeous. BANGZZ brings out the fangs with their feminist punk fury before rapper Jooselord Magnus, joined by his Krawzbonez Music comrades Konvo and Jovi Mosconi, brings the evening home with rowdy party vibes.
