Hometown Sounds

DC in July is all about seeing live music performances indoors and outdoors, but the music video action has been pretty quiet lately. ACME breaks the lull with a two-in-one video for California Girls and Numbers Game, two feel-good summer singles you should totally grab for free from their SoundCloud while they’re feeling generous. Filmmaker Nigel Lyons, recently profiled as the go-to music video director for local bands by our buds at DC Music Download, crafts the visuals for each song around the striking beauty of model Ashlei “Smokei Grey” Gray. Catch ACME playing this Thursday night at the cheekily named Fort Loko for the kickoff night of DIY house show bonanza In It Together Fest.
