Lead singer and guitarist Jessica Numsuwankijkul, bassist Nya Abudu, drummer Cici Harrison, and vocalist and tambourine player Amber Myers are heading back out on the road (with an additional guitarist), highlighting songs from their upcoming sophomore disc, and they’ll be headlining the Greenpointers/Supercrush Studios Showcase at Bar Matchless on Friday night, on a bill with the Meaning of Life, Spritzer, Shark Week, the Teen Age, and Oracle Room. The Northside Festival runs June 8-14 in venues all over Brooklyn’s north side, featuring film June 8-10, innovation speakers, panel discussions, and a trade-show expo June 11-12, music June 11-14, and art walks June 13-14; among the other bands performing on June 12 are Neko Case at 50 Kent Avenue, Heems and the Very Best at McCarren Park, Alden Penner and Michael Cera at the Knitting Factory, Beach Fossils at Rough Trade, and Crazy Pills at the Gutter.
