DOORS 7PM / SHOW 8PM THIS EVENT IS 21+ VALID U.S. ID OR PASSPORT REQUIRED CheekfaceCheekface is a rock combo from Los Angeles made up of guitarist and singing person Greg Katz, bassist and other singing person Amanda Tannen, and drummer Mark “Echo” Edwards. Inspired by the great American talk-singers like Jonathan Richman, Stephen Malkmus and Lou Reed, and British indie rock bands like Wire and The Fall, Cheekface released their first single “Glendale” in 2018, a song Indie Shuffle lauded as “an art-pop gem.” Following what The Line Of Best Fit called “a stream of instant-classic singles,” the band’s debut LP Therapy Island materialized in spring of 2019 on the New Professor label. Post-Trash called the album “extremely charming and catchy,” and Punk News said it’s “a perplexing, rewarding experience.” A million Spotify streams later, the groundswell of support for the album lead the band to issue it on vinyl in October 2019, a pressing that quickly sold out. ROSIE TUCKERInstagram | Twitter Now comes the third album from Rosie Tucker, ‘Sucker Supreme.’ It’s a coming of age album, yes, and an album that aches with self-discovery, self-definition, and self-redefinition: “Nothing is simple just cause you wish that it is.” “I can’t believe I’ll die before becoming a frog.” “Wolfing down Doritos, lickin’ on my fingers, anger on my tongue, Doritos in my anger!” “Wouldn’t we be perfect together if we wanted exactly the same thing?” But ‘Sucker Supreme,’ Tucker’s first album for Epitaph, is also just the right follow-up to where their last album, 2019’s ‘Never Not Never Not Never Not,’ left off: still playfully observed, still sneakily political, still indebted to folk singers of the past – but also much, much bigger, brighter, louder and noisier than anything Tucker has dared before. It delivers mightily on an ambitious M.O.: to be relentlessly catchy and muscular and noisy but also beautiful; be achingly sad and searching, but never too far away from funny, either; and to spotlight Tucker’s empathetic, yearning vocals on top of it all.
