Night Club 101: Robber Robber, Dari Bay, Crate
-
Robber Robber’s post punk, Dari Bay’s pedal steel, and Crate’s alt rock are all drenched in reverb. Not quite shoegaze, not quite dreamgaze, but it’s clear everyone on this bill knows and respects Kevin Shields.

Union Pool: We are Scientists ** Record Release **
-
I have not listened to We are Scientists in a minute. Their most well known album, With Love and Squalor, is the type of post-punk revival that reminds me of layering tank tops in 2005. Since then, the band’s released eight studio albums, most recently Qualifying Miles. Union Pool is hosting its record release!

Union Pool: John Maus
-
John Maus’s new single Came & Got stays true to his archetypal lofi sound. 80s inspired synths, indecipherable lyrics, a Korg KR-55; Maus’s music is enigmatic. Someone go to this show and report back to me on Maus’s synth rig in action.

Pianos: SkyDaddy, Mark Michele, Aidan Lyons
-
SkyDaddy is everywhere, in the past few years he’s opened for both Black Country New Road and Cameron Winter. While his most recent EP Anchor Chains, Plane Motors, & Train Whistles effortlessly melds jazz and chamber pop, my favorite Skydaddy track is Cradle 2 The Sky featuring Jianbo. Grime x a string quartet… can’t get more melodic than that.

Night Club 101: Colatura, Dead Tooth, Very Special Episode

Colatura’s new EP (Every Time I Think About You) It’s About Me is dreamy and chalked full of indie pop melodies. The Brooklyn based trio relocated to Pittsburgh, but is back in the city to play their new tunes at Night Club 101.
