The Stigs

When Friday night rolls around, Reggies Music Joint becomes the hottest spot this side of a Strokes reunion. The Stigs are set to headline, promising a set that could make even the most cynical indie purist swoon. With their raw energy and stage presence that feels like the love child of Julian Casablancas and Karen O, this is a band that knows how to command a room.

But don't sleep on the rest of the lineup. Potionseller mixes potions of sound that are as intoxicating as their name suggests, while Sabina's ethereal vibes will have you floating above the crowd. Then there's Ryan Rumchaks, the wildcard who brings a live-wire spontaneity reminiscent of those wild nights when the Yeah Yeah Yeahs were still playing basement gigs.

So, put down that craft IPA and head to Reggies. Missing this show would be like skipping out on the afterparty everyone's still talking about come Monday.
