After moving away for several years to seek their fortunes separately, Molly and Sally finally reunited in 2019 to write and record their first album, Heartbreak Summer Camp.

bowling shoes
& Gymshorts
Thursday 8.21.25 - 8:30 pm - Tickets available soon!
Bowling Shoes formed to create alternative pop music distant from the emotionally driven genre its members had previously found success in. With a mission to create upbeat music, their early songs, such as “Portland”, received love from Gen Z through TikTok, earning the band millions of streams and over one hundred thousand monthly listeners on Spotify. Their newest 7-track EP DoomScroller was released in summer 2021. On the EP, Bowling Shoes combined moods of swaying indie-pop beats and nostalgic city angst to create their most authentic sound yet.
This four-piece punk dynamo from Rhode Island, is everything you want in a punk band: brutal, unrefined, and absolutely thrashing. With songs like, “Daylight Savings,” on which the band asserts, “I wish every day was daylight savings/an extra hour of sunlight/ an extra hour to get high,” they are exactly how you’d expect them to be offstage; upbeat, hilarious, New England punks who’d like nothing more than to goof off and make music with their friends. However that impression partially collapses when they mount the stage, strap into their instruments, and reveal their sludge-coated surf riffs and drums that sound both wildly anarchic and assertively tight.

PARTYGIRL
w/ Summer arachnid
& Brunch
Saturday 8.23.25 - 7:00pm - Tickets
If you've seen partygirl's name before, the word "maximalist” is never far behind. Since bandleader Pagona Kytzidis formed the group in 2021, the kinetic six-piece has amassed a cult following for their relentless, inventive music, a band equally likely to enter a soaring chorus as they are an earthshaking breakdown. Listen past the pyrotechnics and you'll hear the energy of scrappy upstarts with the sharp songwriting to match their brute force strength.
In partygirl, everyone stands out at once- producer/guitarist Francesca Pastore's pop-punk riffs, drummer Jonathan Ashley's jam band rigor, violinist Claire Lin Jenkins's orchestral grandeur, Andrew Jordan's slinking bass, and saxophonist Jenna Love's jazz roots. At the center of the sound is Kytzidis's booming alto, equally influenced by Freddie Mercury as it is by Fiona Apple. Kytzidis started partygirl to confront and process an ascent into adulthood littered with gendered conflict, systemic violence, a global pandemic, and political instability. She conducts the band with the Greek word "parrhesia" as a lodestar: Speaking truth to power, whatever the risks.
Their debut record, I'm so charming, I forgot who I was, is the culmination of years fine-tuning and road-testing music, but it's just the beginning for this immensely promising band. Theatrical, eccentric, and vulnerable all at once, it's a wildly successful first effort from a band overflowing with creativity.

Ada Lea
Wednesday 9.10.25 - 7:00pm - Tickets
when i paint my masterpiece is an epic, 16-track opus. It’s a kaleidoscopic exploration of the transformations art can bring: the vision of an uncompromising artist dancing bravely and freely between registers and across mediums. The album marks a reset—a quiet revolution. After years of relentless international touring, Levy felt an urgent need for community and renewal. Gruelling road schedules with very little support left her wondering: who am I really doing all this for? The system was uncaring and broken, and so she envisioned a new healthy and healing mode of musical genesis. Levy went back to school to study painting and poetry, got a job, and began teaching.
Ada Lea’s albums have been swelling in scope alongside the evolution of her artistic life. Her recent turn toward pedagogy—teaching a songwriting course at Concordia University and co-facilitating a community-based group called “The Songwriting Method”—weaves another vivid thread into her multifaceted practice. The shapely, intuitive songs that comprise Ada Lea's third album are surprising, imagistic, tactile. They stand before us and we feel their brushstrokes.
By the end of these sixteen songs, it’s clear: when i paint my masterpiece isn’t chasing perfection, it’s comfortable in the magic of being. These songs are alive with poetic specificity and a wide-open heart—deeply felt, often strange, and always reaching. There’s an optimistic and plainspoken wisdom in the lyrics, building on Ada Lea’s singular songwriting style of surprising harmonic and melodic turns—now with a newly rich, organic sound that rewards slow listening. The masterpiece, not a product, is the process.
