Republic bio: "DAISY GRENADE is an alt-pop duo with something to say - and a clear vision for how to say it. Dani Nigro and Keaton Whittaker, New York natives with roots in musical theater, bring a natural theatricality to their work: dynamic live performances, sharp instincts for storytelling, and an emotional precision that cuts through the noise." The rockers were on Elektra (The Doors!), but are now on Fueled By Ramen (Cute Is What We Aim For). They evidently have just 3 EPs out. From their IG (184k followers) bio: "text us!! 917-540-5506."

Friday, November 20. Chickie Wah Wah. 9PM. $39 (advance).

An unparalleled, deeply individualistic songwriter and stylist, Hitchcock has traversed many genres with humor, intelligence and originality over 30 albums and seemingly infinite live performances. From The Soft Boys’ proto-psych-punk and The Egyptians’ Dadaist pop to solo masterpieces like 1984’s milestone I Often Dream of Trains and 1990’s Eye, Hitchcock has crafted a strikingly original œuvre rife with sagacious observation, astringent wit, recurring marine life, mechanized rail services, cheese, Clint Eastwood, and innumerable finely drawn characters, real and imagined."

"A multichannel electroacoustic immersion. Following their May performance, the artists reunite with new music and an expanded sonic experience. Performing in the center of the space, they surround the audience with multichannel sound and projections across the ceiling." Both are NOLA post-pop bands. Wavering: Dream pop meets improvisation & remodeling. "Our neverending pastime is writing & re-writing, archiving & self-sampling, cultivating a spiraling musical multiverse in which we can splish & splash around." SaTL: "Weaving delicate melodies around shimmering beds and electronic beats, these performances play like a cosmic opera – stars dying and being reborn in a series of reverberating tape loops."

"For a band that has spent more than two decades refining a language of restraint, atmosphere and tension, there is something quietly disorienting about the moment that opens Interpol’s This Mirror Weighs a Ton." Deafheaven's "2021 album, Infinite Granite, reduced the black metal elements in favor of a shoegaze sound, with mostly clean vocals from [George] Clarke. In 2025, they released Lonely People With Power, a return to their blackgaze sound." All ages. Flyer: https://www.instagram.com/p/DezJtksl39Y
