Baltimore Round Robin Tour Launches In Boston
By Seraphina L.
It’s here, everyone! The Baltimore Round Robin Tour Launches TONIGHT in Boston! What exactly is the Baltimore Round Robin Tour? It’s a tour where bands go and play a venue all at once. There is no set schedule nor even a stage. Artists such as Beach House, Dan Deacon, Video Hippos and more Baltimore favorites gather along the perimeter of a room with the audience in the middle and play one song per round – no breaks, back to back – until the show is completed. There is no headliner or opener and no front row or back of the room.
The tour is divided into two nights. The first night (Eyes Night) is a mixture of folk, noise, theatrics, improvisation, music that is spiritual, dreamy, etc. The second night (Feet Night) is devoted to music that you dance, thrash or otherwise move around to and is a mixture of electronic, punk, hardcore, dance, and rock and roll music.
