Holy Joke * Good Morning Midnight * Jung-Min Noh * Diner Girll

Thursday, October 15 • 8:00 PM

Dive headfirst into the sonic tapestry of the underground with a night that promises to be anything but ordinary. Your Thursday evening plans just got a seismic upgrade courtesy of Holy Joke, whose post-punk anthems are like a secret handshake for the musically enlightened. Good Morning Midnight will serenade you with their lo-fi lullabies that hit like a warm cup of coffee on a rainy day. Jung-Min Noh, carving a niche in the neo-soul universe, will wrap you in a soundscape that's as smooth as it is electrifying. And don't sleep on Diner Girll, the bedroom pop phenom serving up melodies as sweet and sticky as a late-night waffle stack. This is the gig your cool friends will be talking about next week while they sip overpriced cold brew and scroll Instagram. Doors at 7:30. Don’t be the one who missed it.

Julia Minkin * Seasaw * Jane Hobson

Friday, October 16 • 8:00 PM

When your evening plans consist of doom-scrolling and pretending to binge another true crime doc you swear you'll remember, let me stop you right there. Tonight is all about the sonic alchemy at the heart of the underground. Dive headfirst into the soundscape with Julia Minkin, who weaves raw emotion like a loom in overdrive, seamlessly blending into your subconscious. Follow that up with Seasaw, whose harmonies are the equivalent of a lucid dream you never want to wake up from, and then get ready to have your heartstrings tugged by Jane Hobson, whose lyrics cut deeper than your latest existential crisis. This trifecta of talent is what your soul's been craving—intimate yet expansive, the kind of lineup that reminds you why you fell in love with music in the first place. Doors at 7:30 PM. Bring your ID and your best game face—this is where the stories you'll tell next weekend are born.

GNUMAN * Thicc Lizzy

Friday, November 6 • 8:30 PM

Picture this: it's 8 PM on a Friday, and the doors to your next favorite night are creaking open. GNUMAN * Thicc Lizzy is the double-headline combo you didn't know you needed but absolutely do. GNUMAN, with their gritty, synth-soaked soundscapes, will make you feel like you're floating in a neon dream, while Thicc Lizzy brings the wail of glam rock through a kaleidoscope of modern indie flair. Think Bowie meets Beach House in a dimly lit basement where the walls pulse with the music. It's the kind of show that makes you lose track of time, and where the crowd's collective energy could power a small city. Make sure your ID’s at the ready—this is a 21+ gig that promises to be a badge of honor for those who enter. So grab a drink, find your spot in the thrumming mass of cool kids, and let the FOMO consume whoever didn't score a ticket. This is one for the books—or at least your Instagram story.

Saturday, November 7 • 9:00 PM

In the heart of a city that never sleeps, where every dive bar echoes with the ghosts of indie legends, something wickedly brilliant this way comes. Enter dälek, the sonic alchemists who conjure an apocalyptic blend of hip-hop, shoegaze, and industrial noise that’s as raw and visceral as a late-night epiphany. Presented by Cold Waves, this isn’t just a gig; it’s a transcendental journey through dark alleyways of sound that dare you to embrace the beautiful chaos. So, if your soul’s been craving a night where beats pulse like a second heartbeat and lyrics cut deeper than your best friend’s wit, grab your ID and head to the front lines. Doors crack open at 8:30 PM, and trust us, you want to be there when they do. Because while everyone else is scrolling through the same tired playlists, you'll be living the soundtrack to a night that no algorithm could ever replicate.

GAUNTLETS * Broken Left Foot * Saccharine * In Shining Armour

GAUNTLETS * Broken Left Foot * Saccharine * In Shining Armour

Sunday, November 8 • 7:30 PM

Clear your Thursday night schedule and dig out your best vintage band tee, because this lineup is the sonic elixir your week desperately needs. GAUNTLETS are headlining, and if you haven't been swept away by their riff-laden post-punk anthems yet, consider this your wake-up call. It's like Joy Division and Sonic Youth had a love child raised on a steady diet of DIY ethos and late-night dives.

Broken Left Foot is bringing their scrappy, hyper-melodic garage rock to the mix—try not to get swept up in their hurricane of sound. Saccharine, true to their name, will serve up synthpop so sweet you'll be dancing your existential crises away under the neon glow. And kicking it all off, In Shining Armour is set to deliver a shoegaze wall of sound that'll have you lost in a blissful haze.

This isn’t just a show; it’s a pilgrimage for those who dare to embrace the undercurrent of the indie scene. Doors swing open at 7 PM, but the magic starts when you step inside. Don’t forget your ID—no fakes in this temple of cool.

Edens (Album Release Show) * Palace Guard * Wet Chain

Edens (Album Release Show) * Palace Guard * Wet Chain

Friday, November 13 • 8:00 PM

It's the night you've been pretending not to care about but secretly can't live without. Edens is dropping an album, and they’re doing it with a sonic explosion that’s about to shake the very core of your ironic detachment. Picture this: Edens' atmospheric soundscapes ebbing and flowing like neon tides, Palace Guard's post-punk anthems igniting the room with a blaze of shimmering riffs, and Wet Chain weaving hypnotic dreams out of synths and reverb that make you question why you ever thought lo-fi was enough. Doors open at 7:30 PM, but you'll want to be there at 7:15 PM, sipping a craft beer and soaking in the anticipatory buzz. This is the kind of night you'll reference at parties and watch your friends' eyes widen with regret. The indie scene's heartbeat will be pulsing through every amp, and you can't afford to miss it. 21 and over, because only adults can handle this much coolness.
