Big week, big music, big opportunities to gather with loved ones. Embrace this! -Caroline
MONDAY:
JESSIA (6:30PM) <AA+> Canadian singer/songwriter: Really fun and catchy poppy lovely! - Greg
Poppity pop rock taking over baby. - Alex
Pop music for the girlies. She won a Juno! - Carson
She’s singing about her bum in a positive and loving way - Caroline
NARA'S ROOM (9:30PM) <21+> This band rips so fucking hard - they remind me of the gin blossoms sometimes. So much good guitar... sort of replacements too?? REALLY GOOD LIVE BAND. Support from Sister (coolest people in rock music) and Told Slant (local legend/beautiful person in all things) you cannot and shan't miss, my dears <3 - Greg
Mtn Laurel Recordings always picks winners. Nara's Room are brilliant, caught them for the first time at Oh My Rockness' Hardest Working Bands showcase (yearly staple, keep your eyes peeled). Dreamy gazy brilliance - Alex
Nara's Room is def one of my favorite new Brooklyn bands. Great music if you're into that gauzy dream pop, shoegaze, and 90s college rock type of sound (I am). Sister. and Told Slant on the bill too - should be a lovely one :-) - Carson
What a special band, and what a beautiful new record out on Mtn Laurel. It’s shoegazey, it’s shreddy, it’s trance-inducing, and that could truly be said for every band on this bill - Caroline
WEDNESDAY:
FIELD GUIDE (6:30PM) <18+> Alternative Musical Artist from Manitoba who does a kind of Mk.Gee set here that I do actually quite enjoy, and maybe you will too?? - Greg
At moments reminds me of a crunchy Youth Lagoon. Great show, one for the lovers and those longing for it. - Alex
Woozy synths, strummed acoustics, a yearning voice & more! If Advance Base, Mt Joy and Runnner pulled a 3 Men and a Baby the kid might grow up to sound like this. - Carson
Another Canadian! This music really reminds me of those couple months in 2020 before things got turned upside down. - Caroline
SHANIN BLAKE (9:30PM) <18+> Stylized Medicine Songs from this influencer numbere'd musician. Brought to us by our partners at Mean Red, really curious to see this one, honestly. - Greg
Internet icon with a voice - Alex
I've seen this lady on the internet a lot. She reminds me of a lot of people I grew up with. I imagine there will be some interesting vibes, smells, auras, at this one for sure. Opening up my chakras now.... - Carson
Music for les amateurs de champignons - Caroline
THURSDAY:
MICAH EDWARDS (6:30PM) <21+> I feel like we're all a bit fragile right now (not projecting, right?) and this is the kind of thing we might want to indulge in. Feel good R&B/Soul from "Texas" but lightweight and relaxed, lovely. Brought by Sundae Sauuce (I love Travis) - Greg
Smoooooooooooooooth - Alex
Damn, this is a hot one. Very smooth and smoky retro soul and R&B from Texas. Very easy music to listen to. - Carson
This specific song. Old soul music ! Chilled out r&b crooning - Caroline
KIKI KRAMER (9:30PM) <21+> I'm not sure but I think this free show is going to be fuccking wild in some way or another. - Greg
LES takes over BK. It takes a village, Kiki's got a full team of dedicated folks ensuring that this one will pop. - Alex
I've been seeing her 'Day In The Life Of A Wannabe Pop Star' reels a lot recently. I'm with Greg, this one probably gets a bit Bizzarro! - Carson
It girl pop music from our little city. It’s free and for all - Caroline
FRIDAY:
BLITZEN TRAPPER (7PM) <21+> Blitzen Trapper is a Portland, Oregon-based experimental country/folk/rock band associated with Sub Pop Records,[1] Vagrant Records,[2] Lojinx,[3] and Yep Roc.[4] Formed in 2000, the band currently operates as a quartet, with Eric Earley (guitar/harmonica/vocals/keyboard), Brian Adrian Koch (drums/vocals/harmonica), Michael Elson (bass/keyboard), and Nathan Vanderpool (guitar/vocals); at some shows, Michael Blake fills in for Vanderpool.[5] Blitzen Trapper self-released its first three albums. "Wild Mountain Nation" was No. 98 on Rolling Stone's list of the 100 Best Songs of 2007.[6]
Blitzen Trapper released its third album, Wild Mountain Nation, in 2007 to much acclaim from critics such as Pitchfork Media, The Nerve, and Spin Magazine. The group signed to Sub Pop Records in the summer of 2007.
After the release of Furr in 2008, the group received a two-page feature in Rolling Stone. The album was ranked No. 13 on Rolling Stone's Best Albums of 2008[7] while the title track was ranked No. 4 on the magazine's Best Singles of 2008.[8] The albums Destroyer of the Void and American Goldwing followed, to similarly high acclaim.
On October 1, 2013, the band released VII, their first on Vagrant Records in the U.S.; the album also appeared on British indie label Lojinx in Europe on September 30.[3] In mid-December 2014, the band self-published their first live album, Live In Portland, followed by the Record Store Day exclusive, a live cover album of Neil Young's Harvest record titled Live Harvest. Their eighth studio album, All Across This Land,[9] was released on October 2, 2015. Their ninth studio release - marking a return to the band's own label LidKerCow - is titled Wild and Reckless and was released on November 3, 2017.
At the end of 2019, longtime members Erik Menteer (guitar/keyboard), Michael Van Pelt (bass), and Marty Marquis (guitar/keyboards/vocals/melodica) retired from the band.[10] Remaining founding members Earley and Koch returned to touring in 2022 with a new lineup. During their hiatus from live shows, the band signed to Yep Roc for the release of their tenth album Holy Smokes Future Jokes on September 25, 2020. - Greg (but not actually Greg. He’s plagiarizing)
Deeply 2010 coded. Hard not to smile - Alex
I used to bang Furr a lot back in the day. I'd recommend listening to this on a solo walk through the woods in your hometown. They've been doing this folky 70s rock thing very well for a long time now, and from what I hear, they're all very nice dudes. Great show right here. - Carson
Yeah I love this record, hadn’t thought about it in a minute. “I’m a moonwalkin cowboy” type of thing. It’s misty, folk-rock, it’s a little Neil even. - Caroline
LEE CASH (11PM) <21+> Always a family favorite <3 - Greg
Lee's back with her troupe, and we're thrilled. Always a blast, FREE SHOW - Alex
She looks like she's having so much fun. I want to feel like that all the time - Carson
Her parties are always a great time, we love Lee ! - Caroline
SATURDAY:
03 GREEDO (7PM) <21+> Famous American Rapper. - Greg
underwater production that floats along. - Alex
Famous rapper that releases mixtapes and albums with amazing titles like The Wolf of Grape Street and Netflix & Deal. I'm glad this man is no longer incarcerated, is releasing bangers and playing Babys <3 - Carson
He said “I love my hottie dumb thick like cheesecake,” which is a lovely comparison. Excited to host this lover - Caroline
BLACK POP (11PM) <21+> a party centered around enjoying fun, danceable, black music. Come ready to experience a night of music by artists like Kaytranada, Missy Elliott, Anderson Paak, Amaarae, The Internet and a lot more !! MFM Party from an MFM show <3 - Greg
New party from MFM. - Alex
Parties are always so fun. Perfect transition from 03 to this... - Carson
New party, should be a great one, including music from Doechii who we really truly do love in my house. - Caroline
SUNDAY:
CROATIAN AMOR (9:30PM) <21+> ElectroIndieDance from Denmark, flying in for a special little show <3 - Greg
Internet music, genreless in all it's beauty. Support from Somewhere Special who are allegedly something special, and Ex Wiish, who'll blast us all into next week with their frenetic breakbeat. - Alex
Really good electronic music that ranges from ambient to techno. It can be dark, ethereal, and introspective at times, full-on party-time-club-music at others. If you're unfamiliar, but have an ear for Andy Stott, earlier Yves Tumor, and Actress, this one might be a great one to check out - I know I will be ;-) - Carson
Hazy&floaty, sludgy&thumpy, it’s Euro as fuck. - Caroline
