ASTORIA — How often do you get to say you saw a band in its first-ever concert? Now you can.
Parallel Lines, an Astoria-based indie-rock band, will make its debut performance at 9 p.m. Friday, Nov. 21 at KALA — and it’s the first time the group will play together live with an audience.
Parallel Lines recently formed from a plethora of Astoria musicians and, fronted by local singer-songwriter Daric Moore, the group brings his original songs to a new energy level.
Joining Moore are Mike Morrow on drums, Brandon Bowers on bass and Jordan Okoniewski on keys and backup vocals.
The quartet will showcase songs slated for its first album to be recorded this winter. Moore’s music is upbeat at times, introspective at others, lyrically strong and rhythmically diverse. There will be some good dance tunes, too. This is a rock concert with high-energy rockin’ grooves, emotional depth and catchy melodies.
Doors open at 8 p.m. There is a $5 cover at the door. The event is 21-and-over only, and there will be a full bar. Kala is located at 1017 Marine Drive.
