Skyfactor is a New York City act whose sound is characterized as reflective yet edgy. Their lead single “A Thousand Sounds” features guest backing vocals from Dan Avidan, also known as Danny Sexbang of Ninja Sex Party and Game Grumps. The 2025 album Master Plan includes guest keyboardist David Cook, credited by the band with work for Taylor Swift and Benson Boone. On its Bandcamp page, Skyfactor shares this assessment of Daydreams: “Big, brawny, hooky songs with 20-ton riffs and choruses as sweet as candy make this one of the month’s strongest rock albums.”
The Bitter End has been a fixture of Greenwich Village since 1961, known as one of New York City's oldest rock clubs. It's a modest basement club with a stage and a bar, where the audience sits close to the performers. The room has exposed brick walls and a rustic feel, and the atmosphere is warm and conversational. Shows are typically ticketed with a small cover charge, and the evening combines listening to live music with casual conversation and drinks. The venue has hosted legends like Bob Dylan and Joni Mitchell, and continues to be a place where songwriters and musicians share new material. It's a steady, reliable spot for live music in the city.
