Stay cool at Bele Chere with stephaniesid

If you were considering skipping Bele Chere due to the heat (only the air dogs get a pool to dive into), Sunday promises at least one chance to cool off: Local indie-pop band stephaniesid just announced its set (2:45-4 p.m. on the Haywood Stage) will hereby be known as stephaniesid WATER SHOW.

And, while the band isn’t telling what, exactly, a water show entails, they hinted, “In Piscean fashion, we’ll be calling on the crisp chill of water to complement the music and dancing. We’re not planning to totally drench you, but let’s just say you’ll have more fun if you wear water-appropriate clothing.”

The add, “We’ve gathered a splendid team of people to help us pull this off. The music sounds fabulous (you should hear our group-singing now!), and we have a BUNCH of new shirts, hoodies, jackets, bags, and baby/toddler duds… with logo designed by Xandy Chelmis.”

So. Water and cool new merch. And the show is free.
