hongjoin
Sunday, October 4 • 5:00 PM
Clear your schedule and charge your phone because hongjoin is about to hijack your weekend plans and your Instagram feed. This enigmatic quartet, known for turning dingy basements into sonic sanctuaries, is headlining a set that'll have you swaying in existential bliss—and that's before the beat drops. Their sound? Imagine if shoegaze had a three-day bender with synthpop and woke up with the hangover of the century, yet somehow still managed to craft a transcendent melody.
The 16+ scene is your golden ticket to catch the band before their inevitable sonic pilgrimage to bigger venues. Doors swing open at 5pm, and trust me, you’ll want to be front and center, basking in the glow of their DIY light show that feels like the aural equivalent of a Wes Anderson fever dream. Secure your spot for $20 in advance or roll the dice and pay $25 at the door. Either way, this is your chance to be part of the mythos before hongjoin becomes the name your out-of-touch friends pretend they’ve always known.
