The Districts w/waveform*
Philly's answer to The Strokes roll through Portsmouth with a big guitar sound and urgent vocals that rival Wolf Parade and Modest Mouse. There's a reason this band of childhood friends was the talk of indie rock before they even graduated high school. Come hear for yourself.
Throwdown Thursday w/Glass Arrowhead
Thursday night from 9:30 to close we'll have a rotating cast of DJs downstairs, spanning every genre imaginable and spinning every hit you never knew you needed in your life.
Lonesome Lunch w/Dave Talmage
Folk and bluegrass multi-instrumentalist Old Time Dave Talmage joins us every Friday downstairs for lunch, salting the room with good time tunes, and a sad song peppered in here and there.
Titus Andronicus w/Mal Blum at The WSCA Button Factory Stage
After a brief sonic and stylistic detour, Titus Andronicus is back and sounding more inspired and ferocious than ever. Between the massive sound of their rousing punk rock anthems and frontman Patrick Stickles's seething sneer, their new songs immediately bring to mind all we love about The Sex Pistols, The Replacements, The Clash, and The Pogues. This one's gonna be a real room-rattler.
Soggy Po’ Boys Album Release Show w/Say Darling
The Soggy Po' Boys are a New England-based septet that offers an unforgettable experience of traditional New Orleans music. Come out to celebrate the release of their new album “All In Favor” and bask in the rich New Orleans-inspired sound.
ELVIS ROOM 20: SAY ZUZU (FEAT. ALL MEMBERS) W/GUY CAPECELATRO III
Say ZuZu was the seacoast’s seminal alt-country rock band. Inspired by ye olde rock music of yore, ever-swooning over the folk singers of seacoast coffee houses, and increasingly entranced by honky-tonk music, Say ZuZu toured extensively in the US and Europe, recorded a slew of albums, raised chickens, and grew large sideburns.
