Brendan Rice of the band Tracksuit plays a new song, “180 Degrees,” to promote the band’s upcoming show at Saturday’s Flower Fest Indie Music and Art Festival at Shakori Hills.

Hosted by the MAKRS Society, Flower Fest will run from 11:00 to 7:30 on June 17, with art installations, local makers, food, drinks, and lots of live music. Tracksuit will be on stage from 12:20-1:20; other bands include Relay Relay (formerly Stray Local) and JULIA.

“180 Degrees” is a brand new song, not yet recorded – but Rice says that’s about to change. Tracksuit is currently re-recording some older songs, but plans are in the works for a later release with new songs as well.
