On October 19 Under the Radar will host a free CMJ day party sponsored by PRS Guitars. Leading up to the event we’re letting you know about each artist playing. Today we’re spotlighting The Stepkids.

In a previous post we gave you the basic party details of the party: The party happens from 12:30-5:40 at Public Assembly (70 North 6th Street) and is free and open to the public (21+), no badges or RSVP required. The event features performances from Eleanor Friedberger, Still Corners, The Stepkids, Casiokids, and Chad Valley. Come early, Keds is giving away 10 pairs of shoes, and PRS Guitars is giving away a custom Under the Radar logo guitar and Sweet 16 amp. MotormouthMedia is also a sponsor.

The Stepkids may sound retro, but make no mistake, the Connecticut-based three-piece are blending their funk, soul, jazz and space rock into an entirely modern concoction. Read our interview with the band here, and check out our review of their self-titled debut here. Below you can watch their recent video for “Legend in My Own Mind” and stream “Shadows on Behalf.”
