Have you seen the awesome posters hanging around Shepherdstown announcing Pants Velour? We selfishly lured one of our favorite bands to Shepherdstown by promising to help promote their show. The posters are vibrant, fun, funky and they make you want to go out and dance –just like the band! And you should.

Pants Velour is a nine person hip hop party with rock out music and smarty pants lyrics. We have seen them in NYC and DC and they are coming to the Shepherdstown Opera House this Sunday, January 15 (Monday is a holiday, so no excuses) at 9. The band is led by the trifecta of talent — Niki Darling (Vocals) Josh Raff (MC) and Eli Northrup (Hype) — along with inspired musicians and back up. Eli, I should add, is my little brother. He’s a good one (for so many reasons), but you can come find that out for yourself on Sunday night. The ladies of Eden will be dancing front and center. The Lady Dies will open, starring the lovely voice and banjo of Chelsea McBee (along with Jesse Boyd & Shelley Tawley) at 7:30.
