GIVERUPPER / THUMBTAX / DAMON GROEN / STINGRAY CENTRAL

Prepare to drop everything and dive into the pop alchemy conjured at the Cubby Bear this Thursday night. When GIVERUPPER, THUMBTAX, DAMON GROEN, and STINGRAY CENTRAL hit the stage, it’s not just a show—it’s a rite of sonic passage. Imagine the fizz of a basement synthpop rave meeting the raw energy of a shoegaze garage gig—you’re halfway there. This lineup is the stuff indie dreams (and legendary nights) are made of. Each name on the bill is a passport to a different dimension of pop, where distorted melodies and infectious hooks rule supreme. Don’t just read about it later; get there and live it. This is the show people will lie about attending in years to come.
