SUMMARY:Whitney w/ Folk Bitch Trio - MOVED TO BEACHLAND!
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nRestlessness is at the heart of Whitney’s resonant and stunning sophomore album Forever Turned Around. As Julien Ehrlich and Max Kakacek realized over the past three years\, life can change drastically. Priorities shift\, relationships evolve\, home can become far away\, and even when luck momentarily works out\, there’s still that underlying search for something better. \nWhile the success of their 2016 debut Light Upon The Lake uprooted them away from Chicago to seemingly endless tours across the world\, Ehrlich’s and Kakacek’s partnership only strengthened. “Our friendship has kept us going even though so much has happened in the years since we started the band\,” says Ehrlich. Their bond has been the one constant as they’ve weathered the transitional period of their mid-twenties\, supporting each other through bouts of heartache\, loss\, and uncertainty. But lately\, as they’ve found home through themselves\, their romantic relationships\, and their friends\, there’s an uneasiness that comes from stability. When Ehrlich sings on “Valleys (My Love)\,” “There’s fire burning in the trees / Maybe life is the way it seems” it’s a mission statement of the existential questions raised throughout. \nThis is what Forever Turned Around grapples with: the anxiety and acceptance that time is limited. Across 10 songs\, Ehrlich and Kakacek skeptically yet masterfully navigate questions of mortality\, doubt\, love\, and friendship in a grander scope than they’ve attempted before. It’s an album about partnership — romantic\, familial and communal\, but most importantly a love in friendship: the bonds between two best friends and creative partners and the joy and stress that comes with it. As Ehrlich sings on “Used To Be Lonely:” ‘Well it made no sense at all / Until you came along.” It tackles the blissful confusion that comes from seeing the way things unexpectedly change over time.

SUMMARY:An Evening with Broncho
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nPrepare to be spellbound. Broncho’s fifth studio album\, Natural Pleasure\, doesn’t just flirt with greatness—it obliterates boundaries and redefines what an indie rock album can be. This is more than music; it’s an odyssey of sound\, a kaleidoscopic dreamscape where lo-fi textures collide with psychedelic wonder. Imagine Radiohead’s Kid A filtered through a haze of pot smoke and reimagined for a generation craving both grit and transcendence. This is an album meant to be savored with headphones\, a masterful contender for Indie Rock Album of the Year and a long-playing experience that invites listeners to lose themselves in its rich textures and hypnotic soundscapes. \nBroncho has always been synonymous with reinvention\, and Natural Pleasure marks their boldest transformation yet. This long-awaited follow-up to 2018’s Bad Behavior dives headfirst into lush\, hypnotic atmospheres without abandoning the raw\, gritty energy that made them a household name in indie rock. The Tulsa-based quartet—Ryan Lindsey (vocals)\, Ben King (guitar)\, Penny Pitchlynn (bass)\, and Nathan Price (drums)—has crafted a sound that’s as intimate as it is otherworldly\, blending introspection with euphoric release. \nSince their breakout hit “Class Historian” in 2014\, Broncho has been at the forefront of indie innovation\, earning accolades from legends like Josh Homme and Jack White. Their music\, equal parts gritty rock and dreamy psychedelia\, has found its way onto HBO’s Girls\, Apple’s Platonic\, and FX’s Reservation Dogs\, further cementing their status as cultural touchstones. But Tulsa remains their spiritual home\, a city whose musical lineage—from Leon Russell and JJ Cale to The Flaming Lips—infuses every note they play.

SUMMARY:Wild Rivers w/ verygently
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nPlatinum-selling indie trio Wild Rivers\, Khalid Yassein [guitar\, vocals\, keys]\, Devan Glover [vocals]\, and Andrew Oliver [lead guitar\, synths]\, have a gift for penning introspective lyrics and genre-fluid melodies that transmit wisdom beyond their years. That expertise can be found across their new album\, Better Now —a companion to their latest record\, Never Better\, released this past July. \nRecorded at the same time in Joshua Tree\, CA with producer Gabe Wax (known for his work with artists such as Soccer Mommy and Adrienne Lenker)\, both Never Better and Better Now are filled with the band’s “inventive melodies\, rich harmonies\, and lush instrumentals” (Associated Press) and reflect their personal and creative growth the past few years\, as they’ve faced burnout\, mental health challenges and the complicated\, confusing and unknown realities of life in their twenties. \nBorn in Canada\, Khalid\, who is half-Egyptian\, and Devan\, who spent her childhood in London\, England\, before returning to Canada\, first connected at Queen’s University in Kingston in 2013. Starting out as an acoustic singer-songwriter project\, Khalid and Devan expanded their aesthetic to a more full-bodied sound\, adding multi-instrumentalist Andrew\, whom Khalid calls their “Swiss army knife.” \nSonically\, Wild Rivers pull from a spectrum of sounds\, imbuing pop\, rock\, indie\, and folk into each song’s blueprint. Devan explains\, “We all converge on the classic songwriters. Paul Simon\, Joni Mitchell\, Neil Young\, Fleetwood Mac\, The Beatles and Elton John. Then today\, we have influences across the map\, indie\, hip hop\, R&B\, and pop. But even in those genres\, most of those artists are referencing another era of music\, which we think is really cool. We like to pull our favorite parts of every genre and patch them together and see what works and see what feels good.”

SUMMARY:Deep Sea Diver w/ Meerna
DESCRIPTION:THU July 24\, 2025 \nALL AGES \nDoors: 7 PM \nIn the middle of July 2023 in a Los Angeles studio\, Deep Sea Diver mastermind Jessica Dobson took a guitar solo but somehow felt nothing. Just days earlier\, her Seattle band played a series of semi-secret shows for devotees at a hometown bar\, de facto rehearsals for cutting a new record. The sets had gone well\, but\, almost immediately\, the sessions didn’t. The songs’ essence seemed muddled\, Dobson’s conviction lost somewhere in the 1\,000 miles between Southern California and the home studio she shares with partner\, drummer\, and frequent cowriter Peter Mansen. On that first night in Los Angeles\, she broke down\, wondering what she was doing there\, what her band could do to fix it. For the first time ever\, Deep Sea Diver retreated\, heading home without an album. Did they need to scrap it all\, to begin again with new material? \nNot at all: Following a brief break\, Dobson found a renewed sense of self\, a trust in her vision for her band and songs and her ability to capture them. After that Los Angeles hiccup\, longtime collaborator Andy Park asked Dobson how the new stuff was going over an early fall dinner. She admitted she needed help. In that humbling confession\, she soon found ways of working that helped her reimagine and reinvigorate Deep Sea Diver and led directly to the power and brilliance of Billboard Heart\, Deep Sea Diver’s fourth album and first for Sub Pop. It is a coup\, a triumph over self-doubt in which what first felt like failure became an opportunity to find new freedom\, belief\, and strength. You can hear it in each of these 11 songs\, the beating heart that makes everything here feel like a new anthem for finding your own way forward.

SUMMARY:Pelican w/ Porcelain & Axioma
DESCRIPTION:Thursday\, July 17 \nGrog Shop Presents at The Beachland Ballroom:\nPelican wsg Porcelain and Axioma \nDoors 7 PM / Show 8 PM\nAll Ages\n$20 advance / $25 day of show\n+ $2 at door if under 21 \nChicago rock institution Pelican have announced that their first full length in six years\, Flickering Resonance\, is set for release May 16 via Run For Cover\, and unveiled plans for US and EU tours this Summer to follow their run supporting Russian Circles this March (full tour dates below). With founding guitarist Laurent Schroeder-Lebec rejoining the band for his first full length since 2009’s What We All Come To Need\, the album’s eight songs tap into the spirit of their formative era when Schroeder-Lebec teamed with fellow guitarist Trevor Shelley de Brauw and brothers Bryan and Larry Herweg (on bass and drums respectively) during the heyday of Chicago’s all ages hub Fireside Bowl. The venue’s variegated booking style would often result in post-hardcore\, space-rock\, indie\, metal\, and emo bands sharing bills\, unwittingly providing a vast template of influences for the young band. “A lot of people didn’t hear it at first\,” says Schroeder-Lebec of the band’s roots in a panoply of punk-related subgenres. “I was like\, well\, I guess the metal world is where we fit. But now we’re more willing to acknowledge all the suits we’re wearing.”

The album was meticulously crafted over several years and recorded with Mike Montgomery and John Hoffman at Candyland Studio in Dayton\, KY.

SUMMARY:New Bomb Turks w/ The Drowns & DJ Matt Feeney
DESCRIPTION:Saturday\, July 26 \nNew Bomb Turks w/ The Drowns & DJ Matt Feeney  \nDoors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nBorn in the 1990s in Columbus\, Ohio\, New Bomb Turks are one of those groups that will forever mark the punk rock story. To see a concert of the quartet is to live a forbidden experience\, a moment suspended between madness\, screams\, trances and electric shocks. The leader Eric Davidson does not come on stage\, he takes it and leaves it only once the public ko standing. Their records have been published by the best American punks\, from Crypt to Epitaph\, from Fat Wreck Chords to Gearhead. \n“You’ll never confuse “Lone Gone Sister” with “Good Golly Miss Molly.” The eighth missile on the 14-track blitzkrieg that is “!!Destroy-Oh- Boy!!” is a collision of revved-up guitars\, bash-and-crash beats\, and vocal snot that sounds like an auctioneer howling over a high-speed R&B party. But\, in teen spirit\, it is more akin to Richard Wayne Penniman than Nirvana\, who allegedly changed music forever. At least until bands like the New Bomb Turks led a ragtag revolt in the other direction\, back to primitive caves that spawned rock ‘n’ roll troglodytes throughout the ages.” – John Petkovic

SUMMARY:U.S. Girls
DESCRIPTION:SAT June 28 \nALL AGES \nDoors 7:30 PM / Show 8:30 PM \nOriginally from Illinois\, Meg Remy is established as one of the most acclaimed songwriters and performers to emerge from Toronto’s eclectic underground music scene where she currently lives. As the creative force behind the musical entity U.S. Girls\, her celebrated discography spans 15 years from early experimental works released on the Siltbreeze label and includes three Polaris Prize shortlisted albums on 4AD: Half Free (2015)\, In A Poem Unlimited (2018)\, and Heavy Light (2020). All three albums also garnered Juno nominations for Best Alternative Album.\n\nRemy has toured extensively through Europe and North America\, establishing a reputation for politically astute commentary and theatrical performances with her extended U.S. Girls band\, leading her to be named the best live act of 2018 by Paste Magazine. During this time\, she has maintained a visual arts practice\, exhibited collage work and directed several music videos and other video art works including her short film Woman’s Advocate (2014)\, in which she also performed. Recently\, Remy published her first book\, a memoir called Begin By Telling (2021)\, and she also made her first foray into film-scoring this year\, having been tapped for filmmaker (and fellow Torontonian) Grace Glowicki’s surreal horror-comedy Dead Lover (which world-premiered at Sundance Film Festival and featured at SXSW).\n\nAs a platform and persona\, U.S. Girls operates on a uniquely out-of-time wavelength\, alternately wronged and rueful\, classic but contemporary\, bruised vignettes of poetic Americana through a feminist lens. Her most recent album\, Bless This Mess (2023)\, marked both a divergence from and deepening of Remys songbook\, more at peace with her restless truths and moods. New music is set to follow in 2025.

SUMMARY:Illuminati Hotties w/ Georgia Maq & allie
DESCRIPTION:SUN June 15\, 2015\nALL AGES\nDoors: 7 PM\nListen to WRUW-FM to win a pair of tickets to see Superchunk on September 17 at Grog Shop!\nSarah Tudzin is in high demand these days. Not only is she a lauded engineer and producer who has helmed recent records by boygenius\, Weyes Blood\, and Speedy Ortiz\, but her own band\, Illuminati Hotties\, has also emerged as one of the sharpest and most sensitive acts on the pop-punk side of indie rock this century tender-punk\, she has often called it. On Illuminati Hotties radiant and bittersweet third LP\, Power\, Tudzin pairs that sense of modern professional busyness with scenes inspired by the extreme highs and lows of her personal life in recent years. To wit\, the day before Tudzin released 2020s surprise Free I.H\, her mother died. But weeks before that\, Tudzin had met the person who has since become her longtime partner\, the one with whom she can share all these troubles. Its not hard to imagine\, then\, all that propels Power.\n\nThis is an album\, though\, neither about loss nor love but instead about the life that we live amidst such ups and downs. While there are some beautiful blues here\, like the tender finale Everything Changes or the haunted Rot\, Tudzin mostly looks for an exuberant way through these tangles. The inescapable Falling in Love with Somebody Better is a pop-punk treasure where she wishes her mom had met her new love\, while the breezy Sleeping In finds contentment in the compromises that a good relationship demands. Loaded with guests who alternately complement Tudzin’s unfailing melodic instincts (Cavetown\, Death Cab for Cuties Jason McGerr\, John Congleton) or help her cut loose from them (especially Speedy Ortiz’s Sadie Dupuis during the riotous Whats the Fuzz)\, Power is a prime culmination of all the things that have kept Tudzin busy in recent years\, her skills in the studio\, her knack for a hook\, or the mere travails and triumphs of existence itself.

SUMMARY:Panchiko w/ Model/Actriz
DESCRIPTION:MON June 2\, 2025 \nAges: All Ages\nDoors Open: 6 PM\n\n\nOn July 21st\, 2016\, a user on 4chan’s /mu/ board posted a photo of a demo CD they’d discovered in an Oxfam charity store in Nottingham\, UK: titled D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L\, purportedly released in 1998. The listener uploaded the ripped audio to file-sharing sites\, and later YouTube\, where it began circulating around web forums. A cult of fans banded together to solve the origin story of the mysterious disc\, until eventually a long defunct local band from Nottingham who called themselves Panchiko discovered their album (limited to 30 copies) had spread virally across the internet 18 years later. \nBy popular demand Panchiko reunited touring the music of D>E>A>T>H>M>E>T>A>L to sold out audiences across the US and UK in 2022 and in May 2023 self-released a new LP titled Failed at Math(s) followed by expanded tours in the US\, UK\, and EU. Panchiko are currently in the studio crafting a new album with news to come.

You only have to listen to something like ‘Bewitched’ to notice that there’s much more in the way of texture and depth on Bizarro. We’d just improved as songwriters and arrangers\, basically. It’s no less frenetic a record\, though!”

SUMMARY:Tennis w/ Billie Marten
DESCRIPTION:Sun May 25\, 2025  \nAges: All Ages\nDoors Open: 7:00 PM\n\nTennis is Alaina Moore and Patrick Riley. The two met in the philosophy department at the University of Colorado in 2008 after dropping out of their respective music programs. In the years after graduating\, they got involved in Denver’s DIY music scene. Through house shows\, they were connected with Underwater Peoples\, and Firetalk. Tennis’ first singles “South Carolina\,” “Baltimore\,” and “Marathon” were released in 2010. The band went blog-viral nearly overnight\, landing them a record deal with Fat Possum. Cape Dory\, (2011 on Fat Possum)\, documents Moore and Riley’s time spent living aboard a small sailboat on the Atlantic coast. The album debuted at #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker chart\, transitioning Tennis from house-shows to stages such as Lollapalooza. Tennis recorded their sophomore effort Young & Old (2012) with Patrick Carney of the Black Keys. They made their television debut on The Tonight Show\, The Late Show\, and Conan. In 2014 they signed with Communion. The resulting release\, Ritual in Repeat was the culmination of separate recording sessions with Richard Swift\, Jim Eno and Patrick Carney. Moore and Riley were greatly influenced by Richard Swift’s approach to recording and engineering\, prompting Riley’s decision to take over as engineer on their future releases. With shifting labels and new interests\, Tennis chose an alternate path for their band and career. In 2016\, Moore and Riley formed the label Mutually Detrimental and began self-releasing. Their newfound freedom allowed them to return to their sailboat to write their next full-length\, this time in the Sea of Cortez. Yours Conditionally\, released in 2017\, became their most commercially successful album–charting at #4 on Billboard’s Independent list and in the top 100 highest selling vinyl releases that year. They played Coachella and opened for artists like The National\, Father John Misty and The Shins–proving their DIY roots as a cornerstone to their sound and narrative. Their follow up Swimmer (2020)\, was recorded in their home studio with Moore and Riley producing and engineering. The pair brought their long-time touring member Steve Voss in for the second time to drum on record. The singles\, Need Your Love and Runner\, were Tennis’ most successful releases to date. With nearly every show on tour sold-out (including two consecutive nights at Brooklyn Steel) the album’s campaign was cut short by the Covid-19 pandemic. Pollen\, Tennis’ sixth studio album is due on February 10\, 2023 (Mutually Detrimental).

SUMMARY:Jon Spencer w/ Cheater Slicks
DESCRIPTION:WED May 21\, 2025 \nALL AGES \nDoors: 7 PM \nGet ready for Jon Spencer & the HITmakers to BURN your playhouse down with their new long-player\, SPENCER GETS IT LIT! \nThe incredible\, indelible Jon Spencer (Blues Explosion\, Boss Hog\, Pussy Galore\, Heavy Trash\, etc) is back with the incendiary HITmakers – and with his HOTTEST record yet! \nSpencer Gets It lit is classic Jon Spencer taken to the extremis – electro-boogie\, constructivist art pop\, a psychedelic swamp of industrial sleaze and futurist elegance. It is an epic master work of freak beat from the world’s weirdest garage. Across brain-boggling layers of fury\, fuzz guitar\, and a crash­ bang battery of phaser blasts\, photon torpedoes\, and otherworldly zounds\, he frantically spits\, croons\, rhapsodizes\, and seduces. Spencer Gets It Lit is his most complex and groovy record in years\, a dark\, danceable odyssey- both a studied take-down of the early 21st century\, and a celebration of the place were electricity meets the mind. \nThirteen wicked hot songs of love\, loss\, lust\, life – from the Farfisa-fueled\,warped psycho -punk rave­ up of “Junk Man\,” to the intimate lover’s plea of “My Hit Parade\,” to the outer-space end-of-days country funk of “Worm Town\,” Spencer Gets It Lit delivers all of the friction\, excitement\, and post­ modern depravity one could ever ask for! \nSays Spencer\, “Send out the Hit Signal! This is the most uncompromising album I’ve ever made!” And the HITs just keep on coming!

SUMMARY:A Place To Bury Strangers w/ The Serfs and The Mall
DESCRIPTION:SUN May 18. 2025 \nALL AGES \nDoors 7:00 p.m. \n  \nSynthesizer is the title of A Place to Bury Strangers‘ seventh album. It is also a physical entity\, a synthesizer made specifically for A Place to Bury Strangers’ seventh album. A synthesizer that you too\, can own (in part)\, if you buy the record on vinyl. “It’s pretty messed up\, chaotic\,” says frontman Oliver Ackermann\, “But it feels really human.” In an era of making music where so little is DIY and so much is left up to AI\, to never setting foot in a practice room or a home studio\, making something that feels deliberately chaotic\, messy\, and human\, is entirely the point. Synthesizer is a record that celebrates sounds that are spontaneous and natural\, the kind of music that can only come from collaboration and community. \nThe writing sessions for Synthesizer started in 2022 in the band’s Queens studio\, shortly after the release of See Through You. A Place to Bury Strangers re-formed with a new lineup\, Ackermann still at the helm\, now featuring friends John and Sandra Fedowitz. This new iteration of the band was inspiring for Ackermann\, “It felt like a fresh new thing\,” he says\, “I wanted to write songs everyone was excited about playing.” Indeed\, the sense of connectivity is everywhere on the record. Synthesizer very much feels like a record of reinvention\, of taking a carefully honed aesthetic and sound and cracking it wide open\, gutting it\, reimagining it. And of course\, to ever so slightly reinvent one’s sound\, one must also build a new instrument\, thus again the synth in question. The resulting record is one that is romantic\, colorful\, loud as hell.

SUMMARY:Chris Farren w/ Oceanator and Maura Weaver
DESCRIPTION:THU May 15\, 2025 \nALL AGES \nDoors 7:00 p.m. \nAsk Chris Farren how he feels when he finishes an album and he won’t hesitate to respond with: “Miserable. Miserable. Miserable.” \nAt least\, that’s how it’s been over the years he’s been writing and recording solo. When the time came to make a record\, Farren would be overtaken by an unparalleled anxiety\, forcing him into the home studio he describes as “barely bigger than a closet\,” where he agonized over the minute details of his work in progress. “Looking back on those records… I have no good memories of making them\,” he admits. “It’s always been a lonely\, doubt-ridden process.” \nIt’s surprising to hear this\, knowing Farren’s reputation as a prolific songwriter who made his name recording with Jeff Rosenstock in Antarctigo Vespucci and before that\, the Floridian punk band Fake Problems. In 2014\, Farren started releasing music under his own name all while continuing his project alongside Rosenstock\, and his first album\, Like a Gift From God or Whatever endeared him to fans of the now-defunct Fake Problems and new listeners who had yet to experience the delight of a new Chris Farren song. Like a Gift From God or Whatever was followed by Can’t Die and Farren’s Polyvinyl debut\, Born Hot. Last year\, Farren wrote what he describes as a soundtrack to a spy film he invented that will never be committed to film. Inspired by Marvin Gaye’s soundtrack to Trouble Man\, Death Don’t Wait (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) was a creative exercise\, one Farren completed in mere months that stands apart from the extensive\, at times arduous\, process of making a Chris Farren album. \nCiting My Bloody Valentine\, TV on the Radio\, and Camera Obscura as clear influences\, Farren says he can’t listen to much music until it’s time to make a new record\, but when it’s time\, he submerges himself in music that moves him. “I wrote between fifty and eighty songs for this album\,” he says. The final cut is as genuine\, empathetic\, and of course\, funny\, as Farren is\, and though he claims nihilistic tendencies\, it’s the dogged optimism that endures. On “All We Ever\,” Farren compiles a list of things he wants (to stop paying rent\, to love the government\, to \nget drunk with friends) that accumulate into a three-minute reminder that no life is ever pristine\, that there will always be wants unfulfilled\, and that that’s okay.
