Right after, Believe In Ghost! will transport you to a dimension where synthpop dreams collide with your wildest vintage Casio fantasies. And if you think you can handle more, Kate Keller will be closing the night with her bittersweet serenades that feel like a caffeine rush through a noir-filtered Paris street. This trifecta of indie magnificence is your chance to be where the vibe is 21+, the doors swing open at 6pm, and the cover is just enough to keep the posers away—$12 if you're ahead of the game, $15 if you're fashionably late. It's set to be the kind of night that will make your Spotify Wrapped look like child's play. See you in the front row, or hear about it from your coolest friend's TikTok.

The Thing Is

The Thing Is

Tuesday, June 16 • 7:00 PM

If you haven’t yet sunk into the sonic whirlpool that is The Thing Is, consider this your wake-up call. This band is the secret ingredient your Spotify playlist has been missing, and they're about to hit the stage of that unmarked club you keep pretending you know about. Imagine Radiohead had a love child with Tame Impala, raised on the glitchy streets of Brooklyn, and you’re halfway there. Their lush soundscapes and hypnotic beats are the perfect antidote to your mid-week ennui, and trust me, the serendipity of catching their live set will make you the envy of your vinyl-collecting crew. This isn't just a gig; it's a rite of passage for anyone who claims they’re clued into the indie scene. So, grab your coolest jacket and prepare to join the ranks of those who can say, "I was there before they blew up."

Morning Silk

Morning Silk

Tuesday, June 16 • 9:30 PM

If you haven't yet surrendered to the lush, dreamlike soundscapes of Morning Silk, consider this your siren call. This Saturday, they’re set to transform the dimly lit caverns of Baby’s All Right into a shimmering oasis of indie pop bliss. With synths that shimmer like the last golden hour of summer and vocals that wrap around you like a velvet hug, Morning Silk is the band that your favorite band is secretly obsessed with. Their live set promises an immersive experience that flirts with nostalgia while hurtling you forward into some kind of blissed-out utopia. Picture a sonic love child of Beach House and Tame Impala raised on a steady diet of 90s shoegaze and you’re halfway there. Forget about scrolling through your ex’s new playlist and get ready to lose yourself in Morning Silk’s ethereal vibes. Your only regret will be not dragging more friends along for the ride.
