Cheerleader Roadkill

Sunday, October 25 • 7:30 PM

If you haven't yet been swept up in the chaotic, glittery whirlwind that is Cheerleader Roadkill, consider this your wake-up call. This isn't just a band—it's a neon-lit, sonic baptism you won't soon forget. With a name that echoes the rebellious spirit of a John Waters flick, these noise-pop provocateurs are set to transform the dimly lit corners of your mind into a kaleidoscope of sound and sensation. Think jagged guitar riffs colliding with synth lines sharp enough to cut glass, all wrapped in a sweaty, glitter-flecked embrace.

Get ready to lose yourself in a euphoric haze as the band conjures anthems that feel like the soundtrack to a coming-of-age film where the protagonist finally ditches the prom for a basement show. The vibe is 18+ because this is an experience meant for those who have outgrown the sanitized safety of their childhood playlists and are ready to dive headfirst into the raw, unfiltered thrill of indie's most electric underbelly. Trust us, this is the kind of gig your future self will regret missing, destined to be the stuff of dive bar legend.

Queen! Featuring Derrick Carter * Michael Serafini * Soundstream

Queen! Featuring Derrick Carter * Michael Serafini * Soundstream

Sunday, October 25 • 10:00 PM

Picture this: It's 10 PM, and you're not just standing in line; you're on the cusp of entering a sanctuary of sound. Queen! is back, and it's not for the faint-hearted. It's where Derrick Carter spins like he's weaving magic out of vinyl, and Michael Serafini takes you on a sonic voyage you didn't even know you craved. Add Soundstream to the mix, and you've got a trifecta of grooves that could make even the most stoic wallflower move.

Guided into this nocturnal nirvana by the irrepressible Lucy Stoole and Nico, with a guest appearance by the enigmatic Vanda LaRose, this isn't just another night out—it's a rite of passage into the hedonistic heart of the underground. You might enter a casual observer, but you'll exit a disciple of the dancefloor, baptized in beats and basslines. The buzz is already electric, and if you're still reading this, you've got one foot in the door. Grab that ID, because the only regret you'll have is missing out.

She Wants Revenge

She Wants Revenge

Monday, October 26 • 7:00 PM

Hey, scene-stealers and sonic seekers, prepare to dive deep into the sonic tapestry of Gregg Matthew Foreman – A Celebration of Life. This isn’t just a gig; it’s a full-on pilgrimage through the soundscapes that shaped a legend. Picture this: a night where the ghost of The Moth mingles with the kindred spirits of indie royalty. From the sultry echo of Seconds to the gritty allure of She Wants Revenge, this lineup is a who’s who of underground brilliance.

Imagine Nick Zinner shredding amidst a cascade of raw emotion while L.A. Witch casts its psychedelic spell. Lia Braswell and Ian Svenonius promise beats and bravado, with Miss Rita and Charlie Paulson adding their signature flair. The nostalgic clash of the past and future comes alive with CHURCH and Annie Hardy sharing the stage, while Guilty Strangers and I Speak Machine weave tales of love and loss.

The night crescendos with DJ sets that’ll make you move like you’re in a John Hughes finale, spun by Adam 12 and company. It’s a mandala of memories in the making, stitched together by the kind of community that only lives within the margins. Dress sharp, because in the world of The Moth, every stitch tells a story, and tonight, you’re part of the narrative. Don’t just hear the music—feel it in your bones. Be there or forever regret missing the night Gregg’s legacy became legend.
