We’re raising our glasses at The Vinyl District-Cleveland to share with you our Weekend Shots: a list of shows we think you should check out in the city. So head out to one of your favorite local venues, grab a brew, and check out some great music. Curious as to whom we picked to kick off our premier Weekend Shots post? Why, it’s none other than Cleveland’s own Afternoon Naps and How to Breathe Underwater!
Both bands can be caught at Music Saves’ Alley Cat Friday show. A part of the Walk All Over Waterloo Weekend, this show boasts two great local acts.
Afternoon Naps are going to save pop music. Or at least that’s the daunting task that’s been placed on their shoulders. Good thing these kids are shaping up to be the next big thing exploding out of Cleveland’s pop scene.
How to Breathe Underwater has been compared to both Rilo Kiley and Bat For Lashes, but don’t trust the critics—go hear for yourselves and decide what YOU think.
