The Upswing

This Saturday night, The Upswing is set to catapult your existential ennui into a technicolor dream at the alt haven where the sound is as raw as your emotions. Think early Strokes swagger meets the sonic textures of Tame Impala, all wrapped in a DIY ethos that would make your old college radio station proud. Joining them are The Lefty Lucys, who channel the kind of riotous energy that makes you want to start a zine on the spot, and Retro Grade, whose synth-laden reveries are the perfect soundtrack for your next deep dive into the cosmic unknown. It's the kind of lineup that gets whispered about in the corner of your favorite dive bar, where $12 in advance feels like pocket change for a chance at musical transcendence. Doors at 6pm—come early to stake your claim at the front and prepare for a night that just might be the plot twist your weekend desperately needs.
