A 4-piece band from Baltimore, Videohippos perform hauntingly driving electronic/shoegaze compositions while doused in video-art projections...... Lesser plays guitar in The Tall Grass, a drone-tinged country folk group with friends and fellow alumni of the Institute, and in the past year and a half has been developing his solo project, Lesser Gonzalez Alvarez, using the name given to him at birth to write songs that combine his appreciation of magical realism with his respect for honest simplicity...... Damaged Patients is the lead project by Ben Tramer & Jennifer Toland. Focused on creating primarily multi-media performances, Tramer & Toland view Damaged Patients as a synth-pop installation piece. Pairing multiple projections with live vocals and drums, (and occasionally sneaking in songs by their more cinematic alter ego, Deep Hurting), the result is a darkly rhythmic audio-visual experience.
