How was your weekend? Were you at this? Or this? Or maybe... you went to this? Hard to believe we’re marching into March. A little birdy told me March is a big month for 𝓛𝓲𝓿𝓮 𝓜𝓾𝓼𝓲𝓬… Stay tuned for alllllllathat. - Caroline
MONDAY:
SHAY LIA (6:30PM) <18+>
Had a hot Kaytranada feature. New stuff keeps the funk. This is a cool pop show, her 2023 record is hit-LADEN - Alex
WOW I love this. 18+ hot R&B show, super fun. This song/video rocks. I'm getting a really good vibe from the team/world so I'm imagining a warm crowd. - Greg
Matty Marz opening, should be a bright and bouncy night. - Caroline
TUESDAY:
SOPHIE CATES (6:30PM) <AA+>
This, this is a pop pop show. Edge of hyperpop, dash of Tay. I like I dig I enjoy - Alex
For some reason I feel like Sophie is part of my family... I think it's because Greta and I look like 𝖇𝖗𝖔𝖙𝖍𝖊𝖗 and sister and I'm pretty sure Sophie is her cousin. Can anyone confirm?? This video gives LA but the song gives As Told By Ginger. Will be a lovely eve. - Greg
Lotta buzz around this one. In the Olivia Rodrigo vein, salty-girly-rock. Fun. - Caroline
WEDNESDAY:
MEHRO (6:30PM) <AA+>
Hot hot. Both acts are rising stars that we could well be listing on future promo as 'played at Baby's'. Why do I feel like Mehro is the third artist to have played baby's in recent times, with a song about horse tranq? Someone do the research for me, I'm busy playing Catan online. - Alex
Feeling really crazy about this one... Flynn the TM is a little angel whomst I enjoy. - Greg
King Isis up first on this one, love love this song. Heavy hitters kind of night.- Caroline
PUNCHLOVE (9:30PM) <18+>
Local shoegaze heads who sold out Trans Pecos last time out. It'll be loud and you know what? I don't mind one bit. - Alex
Musical artist from Kanine Records. Heavy shoegaze kind of a feel. Be careful with this visualizer as there may be STROBES etc. - Greg
Such a good bill top to bottom, with Weathergirl and High. Expect reverb, expect shoegazing, expect a good time. - Caroline
THURSDAY:
FLYANA BOSS (6:30PM) <AA+>
I got to see Flyana Boss' debut Aus tour at SXSW Sydney! (Shouts, now fly me over for a panel please). Rising stars with at least three "oh my god THAT song" moments already. - Alex
HYPER HYPED. Music like crack. This video is so psycho the brand plug part for door dash?? I guess it works though because production, look, and sound are high quality. will get crazy I think. - Greg
Seriously so much fun. This is gonna be a great crowd and another smash from Move Fwd. - Caroline
DROP IT LIKE IT'S YACHT (9:30PM) <21+>
Yacht-rock is so back, stop pretending it's not. - Alex
the smoothest yacht rock dance party says it all, I'm pretty sure. Pull up with your sunglasses on and pretend you are not existing in Feb(r)uary in NYC. - Greg
Bring your Sperrys?? - Caroline
FRIDAY:
FLYANA BOSS (7PM) <AA+>
Show so nice we booked it twice! - Alex
NIGHT TWO NIGHT TWO NIGHT TWO (also sold out). - Greg
CAB ELLIS (11PM) <21+>
Last time they broke some shit on stage but it was a positive raucous one. Great band, shredders! - Alex
Second night of the residency for CAB ELLIS. The last one hit hard and was super fun. Ryan Gentles backed bands, my favorite little guy in the entire big big world. - Greg
Heard this first night went crazy… Lucky for you we’re running it back. - Caroline
SATURDAY:
PROVOKER (7PM) <18+>
One of the coolest bands in the world right now. The new music rules, but this is one of my fave songs ever. There's something oddly sassy about them, can't quite put my pointer on it. Obsessed. - Alex
What can we say my friends? We are damned to watch the best band in the world two times in one week... so sad, so tragic. Not only is the music incredibly wonderful (how wonderful) they also make my favorite flyers in the business. Amiture was just added on as 1st of three... love!! Sold Out. - Greg
Dark, and yet light? Provoker is mind melding, do not miss this. - Caroline
HUMAN RECORDS (11PM) <21+>
One of us! One of us! Y'all should've seen how hard this party went last month. It's free, and fuck me sideways is it FUN. Dance the night away. - Alex
Becoming a part of our little universe. Lovely perfect angels, wonderful music, a good hang, a party to be celebrated. - Greg
People really have come to love this one. Dwai and friends are just the loveliest people. - Caroline
SUNDAY:
PROVOKER (6:30PM) <18+>
Show so nice we booked it twice. Have you listened yet? Seriously. Best fucking song. - Alex
NIGHT TWO ALSO SOLD THE F OUT. - Greg
BRITTON & THE STING (9:30PM) <21+>
Hootin' and hollering for night two here. Britton & The Sting took us to church and taught us how to drink the Lord's day away - Alex
Another residency from these JOE'S PUB heads. - Greg
Another round for lovers of souuuuuuuul. - Caroline
Last Nite.
A friend of the Babyverse tells us about a cool show they went to.
Mallory, of Double Double Whammy and
, tells us about the oh so beautiful Sadurn show.Sadurn and Al Menne, a show for babies at Baby’s. Together we all became softies under a warm blanket of slide guitar and singalongs. Still get choked up when I hear “icepick” and the line about meeting each other’s parents even though they’re homophobic. I migrated to the back of the live room to watch with my pal Chris Daley in what he calls his “short king secret spot.” Glad I did so I could witness the crowd collectively slither out of their sadness when Sadurn started playing their most rockin’ tune “snake.”
This Week At Baby’s Official Playlist
and, just for fun, a new one from Lip Critic.
