On March 10th, the official release party for Moral Monsters, the debut EP by Buffalo, NY native Andrew Kothen will take place in the Ninth Ward at Babeville. Falling somewhere between Iron & Wine, Ani Difranco, Modest Mouse and Jack Johnson, “Moral Monsters” is a mix of laid back folk music and gritty minimalism. It features dynamic transitions and meditative lyrics, which swing back and forth between life affirmation and existential anxiety, while capturing a modern self-awareness that seems at once both necessary and debilitating. The word play is teased together with blues, pop, and indie rock and explores the relationship between emotional deterioration and disaffection while moments of clarity shine through to provide a deep, immovable optimism. The EP will be available for purchase on the night of the show.The show will feature band mates Alec Safy and Jacob Peter, and will feature new material, as well as the complete EP, to top off the celebration.

Buffalo’s own Yali, alternative-indie-soul-folk duo and Jacob Peter, singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist open the show.
