Sun Shy / Dresses (Album Review by John Koch)
Sun Shy EP Dresses SideOneDummy Records There are a number of things I could write about Dresses that might give you a sense of their potent charm without even mentioning their music. First, the band consists entirely of a young girlfriend-boyfriend couple that, secondly, hails from Portland, Oregon—a destination for hipsters, bohemians, and DIY types […]

This was The Superslice’s first year covering the Bridgetown Comedy Festival and I can say I have never laughed so hard in my lifetime; no hyperbole there as we were left in a puddle of tears.
