Pocketboy Solid • Matthew Teardrop Orchestra
“Pocketboy Solid is a musical fusion that transcends genres, blending the psychedelic-folk-rock sounds of Joe Baughman + The Righteous Few with the dreamy-math-pop-rock vibes of OK Cool. Together, they form an unstoppable force of indie magnificence, creating a unique and captivating sound that resonates with listeners.” -opencallmag
Matthew Teardrop Orchestra - Crust-Bruce Springsteen.
North by North • Headless Mary • Ambrosia Blue • Palmer
North by North - “Chicagoans… It may be garage rock, but this garage is clean. All the better for it, the affair sounds cohesive and realized, especially with respect to obvious singles like “Hex. X. O.” Girard’s vocals really do recall Jack White, and while his guitar technique lacks some of White’s wild intensity, Girard’s accompaniment smartly picks up the slack. One would expect a rock trio to have a bassist, but it’s Kendra Blank’s keyboards that anchor the effort, while she oohs and aahs the band’s way to real rock ‘n’ roll craftsmanship.” -newcitymusic
Headless Mary - “Detroit area shoe gaze grunge rock”
Ambrosia Blue - “Indie / garage rock trio based in Detroit!”
Palmer - “Their sound pulls from the raw vulnerability of early 2000s emo and the hazy textures of indie rock, moving between atmosphere and abrasion, pairing softer, reflective moments with sudden weight and urgency.”

Big Fat Head • CAD & the Peacetime Consumers • Oyster
Big Fat Head - “It's tough to pinpoint exactly what this band sounds like. It's alternative rock, I guess? Or maybe art-pop? It's fanciful stuff, catchy but never really sounding like accessibility is a core tenet of the operation. Things shift significantly from song to song, too.” -stereogum
CAD & the Peacetime Consumers - “Based in a musty Wayne County MI basement Christopher Alan Durham and C.A.D & The Peacetime Consumers are an interchangeable project lead by Songwriter Christopher Alan Durham.”
Oyster - debut show! Featuring members of Checker

The Muggs • Dream Shoppe • Sancho
“The Muggs are an American band from Detroit, Michigan. It was formed in 2000 by guitarist Danny Methric and bassist Tony DeNardo.[1]” -wikipedia
You know em’, you love em’, the one and only, living legends, kings of the white boy blues!

Don’t miss em ever! The mighty Muggs!
Dream Shoppe is an “Abstraction captured, cultivated, and crafted… an original 4 piece psychedelic entity that is ever evolving, founded by two brothers with a distinct vision to open up the mind, heart, and soul.” -rockindetroit
Sancho is “born out of a love for the delta blues, Sancho brings an electrified take on the genre in classic Detroit style” -sancho

Throwaway • The Imagination
Throwaway - “Haunted by a mysterious woman with a brown paper bag for a head, guitarist Kirsten Carey created Throwaway, an angular post-punk band that acrobatically leaps around virtuosic riffs and unexpected rhythms. Carey's garnered a reputation as a fearless and genre-defying guitarist - she's featured as a soloist on clipping.'s track for the Rick and Morty album, praised by the Quietus as one of the highlights of the 2024 Skanu Mezs festival alongside Autechre, and opened for the Sun Ra Arkestra in duo with Tyshawn Sorey.”
“The Imaginatron is an all-expansive node of energies thrusting forth from the infinite realities. The band The Imaginatron is a tribute to this entity..”

Godstar Megamax • Autobahn • The Hum • Skin
“Godstar Megamax, one of Chicago’s best live bands on the heels of their “Meat Rabbit” EP. They’ll give us the raw materials of the evening: abstract offerings from post-rock, punk, electronic, noise and folk that cohere in different arrangements according to which particular member leads the charge. There is precarity via Buster Keaton, goodbyes borrowed from Neil Young and screw-you poetry lifted straight from the page. They’re the farthest we’ll stray from pop clarity.” -music.newcity.com
Autobahn are from NY and feature a Cello.
The Hum - local collective who will be performing under their 9th iteration.
“Skin is a conversation between gothic Americana, grunge, Mo-Town soul, and visual storytelling. The work culminates in an ethereal sense of longing, intimacy, and American pain.” -skin
Empties • Thermostat • Trucker Hat
Empties - new local, can-based, straight-up rock band
Thermostat - temperature tweaking no-wave
Trucker Hat - kinda like a 21st century TAD that listened to 89x

Liquor Store • Tin Foil
A TRUE POWERHOUSE SHOW
Liquor Store - “Although originally described by listeners as “kind of underwhelming” and “a goddamned fucking trainwreck that’s what,” Liquor Store quickly found their sonic niche. They’d show up to a gig with as many as seven guitarists in addition to a bassist and drummer and fill up the stage with swingin’ meat and guitar feedback before launching into impossibly powerful punk epics with funny titles. Their shows have turned into the best party you can be at if you’re into things like drinking and attaining states of atavistic ecstasy. People writhe around on the floor in intoxicated glee, getting bruised up and feeling deliriously joyful. The last time I saw them someone started fighting a chair.” -Vice, 2010
Tin Foil - "You like late-era MINUTEMEN? You’re gonna like this a whole bunch, then. This album sounds like if D. Boon fronted MOLLY HATCHET. Jazzy drums, soaring guitars, and twangy vocals with tongues firmly placed in cheeks. We’re treated to a little bit of banjo action as well, which is a huge A+ in my book. This is the thinking-man’s punk, folks. Outside the box, unconventional, and catchy as hell. I adore this record. Possibly one of the best slabs I’ve heard in a very long time. Highly recommended." -Maximumrocknroll, 2025
Bobby Bare Jr • Loose Koozies • Pretty Island
Bobby Bare Jr - “For those of you who are unfamiliar, Bobby Bare Jr. is the son of country music royalty Bobby Bare, who was responsible for such Nashville classics as “Detroit City,” “500 Miles From Home,” and the classic “Drop Kick Me Jesus.” BBJr. inherited his father’s songwriting wit and released some of the most interesting and unique music of the 90s and early aughts, first via his country-punk band, Bare Jr., and then as a solo act. His most recent solo album, Undefeated, was released way back in 2014. Since then he has toured sparingly on his own although, beginning in 2017, he has performed on the road and off with the band Guided by Voices.” -Tom Polacek
Loose Koozies - “Day job dreamers who sing about loving their dogs, long-forgotten townie nightlife spots, the eternal power of nature and transcending space, time and dimension all at once.” They also love NRBQ, NA beers, and pedal steel.
Pretty Island - “A band from 🌴Detroit 🌴”
Bimbo • MRKT • Twin Freaks
Bimbo - Marquettes finest!
MRKT - Consonant professionals
Twin Freaks - “Twins and Freaks who like Twin Peaks” -Twin Freaks
Sick Thoughts • H8 Mile - early show
Sick Thoughts - “After last year’s hit full-length, the new EP from Drew Owen (a.k.a. SICK THOUGHTS) feels like a victory lap, showcasing four strong tunes from a guy who’s been on a snowballing creative roll for a while now. Gracing the cover for the second consecutive release, this time greeting us with a boozy lounge look and a promising wink, he starts this one off by revealing a raging theme for this decade-plus-old project in “Sick Thoughts.” Then we lean back and loosen up a bit with the ’70s switchblade and bandana vibes of the rockin’ “I’m a Hellraiser.” The pace picks up with “Schoolgirls in Chains,” a jittery and jacked-up garage number that almost sounds like it could have been an outtake from JAY REATARD’s Blood Visions LP. And then, just before he leaves the saloon doors swinging behind him, he kicks out the sickeningly sweet “My Heart is Breaking Over You,” an epic, killer, and uncharacteristic power pop ballad that he pulls off with incredible panache. My favorite track on the album, its crooning and keyboards on the outro are especially bonkers. Cheers to another solid ripper, Drew, and maybe just take it easy on those olives a little bit.” -maximumrocknroll
H8 Mile - featuring Brendan Tracey on drums

Elephant Stone • Going Gone • Matthew Smith
Elephant Stone - “At the center of Montreal’s Elephant Stone is Rishi Dhir, a songwriter and sitarist who has spent twenty years blurring the lines between Western psych-pop and Indian classical tradition. What began in 2006 as a quest for transcendental sound has evolved into a singular, self-contained vision. Operating out of his Montreal home studio, Sacred Sound, Dhir has emerged as a true studio auteur—producing, engineering, and mixing the band’s increasingly complex and cinematic output. While the band’s reputation was built on airtight pop craftsmanship and spiritual exploration, their recent work—anchored by longtime members Miles Dupire, Robbie MacArthur, and Jason Kent—possesses a new, raw intensity. It is a sound forged through Dhir’s deep collaborative history with icons like The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Beck, as well as his role in the psych-supergroup MIEN.”
Going Gones - local supergroup
Matthew Smith - of Outrageous Cherry, performing a solo set
Starly Kind • Ciao and Susie • Fallsin
