Rock Hall Live: Bully w/Smut
2021-07-30 20:00 - 22:30 | Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, 1100 Rock and Roll Boulevard, Cleveland, OH, 44114, United States
FRIDAY NIGHT JAMS
Music lovers unite. We are so stoked to offer a killer Friday night line-up this summer on our Rock Hall Live Stage. Tickets range from $20-$40. Let’s party.

Bully
In rock – as in life – change is unavoidable, often painful, but ultimately necessary, and Alicia Bognanno and her band Bully have dealt with a lot of it since their debut record Feels Like hit in 2015. Now with a new label and another couple years worth of life experience, the 12 new songs on Losing feel like perfect anthems for a generation still learning to harness the power of resistance. With a vocal style that is as pretty as it is powerful, and emotionally resonant lyrics, Alicia channels the loss of innocence and reveals a raw honesty in songs that are distinctly hers.

Smut
Uniting crunchy guitars with swirling synths, Smut embrace a liminality and experimentation that pushes the boundaries of pop music. The Cincinnati formed, Chicago-based four-piece blend melody and moodiness to yield to a droney and percussive pop. As of late their influences stem from shoegaze, 90s hip hop, and trip-hop. Bell Cenower’s biting bass lines creep below the surface as Andrew Min’s & Sam Ruschman’s distorted guitar melodies lift the band to explosive heights. Hovering over her bandmate’s wall of sound, Tay Roebuck’s caustically sung, meditations on grief, guilt, and growing into oneself make us nostalgic for shoegaze bands past.

Live and Local: New Soft Shoe
2021-07-29 20:00 - 22:30 | Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame, 1100 Rock and Roll Boulevard, Cleveland, OH, 44114, United States

New Soft Shoe
The New Soft Shoe is a Cleveland based band that covers the catalog of Cosmic American Music’s Gram Parsons. Since the founding of the band 11 years ago, they have a consistent monthly 2nd Thursday show at Forest City Brewery, played the Rock Hall and other venues, multiple times at the Gram Parsons Pull in Waycross, GA, Gram’s childhood home, and put their own twist on many of the classic Gram, Flying Burrito Brothers, Byrds, and International Submarine Band songs. The band digs deep into the catalog with the only rule that Gram had to have played the song at least once for it to be performed by the band.

Terrycloth Mother
Terrycloth Mother is John Panza, Tebbs Karney, James Pequignot, and Drew Maziasz. Terrycloth Mother composes dark, dreamy soundscapes and driving lyrical odes confronting the surrealistic horror of our modern world. Formed from the most recent Cleveland Lottery League but venturing on, Terrycloth Mother continues to poke and prod a lyrical apocalypse while maintaining a sense of humor. Their debut s/t album will be released in October.

Jaite
Formed in Lakewood, Ohio during 2018, Jaite is a rust belt infused post-punk project by founding members Michael Marefka (vocals, synthesizer, guitar) and Stephen Ovak (guitar, bass, synthesizer, drums). Drawing on a diverse array of musical influences, their most recent release, Lowlands, combines blissful electronic arpeggios with hard driving bass and bright guitar.

FRIDAY NIGHT JAMS

Music lovers unite. We are so stoked to offer a killer Friday night line-up this summer on our Rock Hall Live Stage. Tickets range from $20-$40. Let’s party.

Sweet Apple
Sweet Apple, the rock ‘n’ roll band featuring J Mascis (Dinosaur Jr., Heavy Blanket), Tim Parnin (Cobra Verde, Falling Stars, Chuck Mosley), John Petkovic (Cobra Verde, Death of Samantha, Guided By Voices) and Dave Sweetapple (Witch) has released three acclaimed albums since forming in 2010.
The group has been lauded by Rolling Stone, Esquire, USA Today, NPR, Salon and Mojo, which called it a “Venn diagram of melodic power-pop” in a four-star review. Spin called Sweet Apple “one stomp box in the power pop of their youth, one in the heavy indie thud they invented.”
The band, which spans three states (Ohio, Massachusetts and Vermont), rolls out insurgent guitars, glitter-stomp, orchestrated pop. Albums have included guest appearances from Mark Lanegan (Screaming Trees, Queens of the Stone Age), Robert Pollard (Guided by Voices), Rachel Haden (Haden Triplets) and Doug Gillard (Guided by Voices, Nada Surf).

King Buu
King Buu is a Cleveland, Ohio based rock band formed in 2016. The band’s fast paced, lively performances viciously mix the familiar rock & roll elements of yesteryear with a frenzied array of whatever else the group fancies in that moment. With influences including science fiction, bad television and the wild west; the audience can expect noisy garage rock tunes to turn on a dime into doo-wop, psychedelia or bubblegum pop at any moment!

Live and Local: Lilieae w/Public Squares

LILIEAE

Established in 2018, LILIEAE (pronounced lil-ee-ay) is an angsty, honest alt-rock band from Cleveland, OH. The 5 bandmates bring a common love for 90s and many other rock styles into their writing- resulting in high-energy and passionate music with plenty of slightly sarcastic themes. They plan to release their second EP this year.

Public Squares

Aesthetically falling somewhere between Devo and The Misfits with a sound that’s been described as “HEAVY NEW-WAVE,” Public Squares meet pounding rhythm section with big, bright guitar and melodic vocals. They’ve supported such legendary acts as Descendents, The Dickies, and Adolescents, and their live sets are wrapped in visuals and theatrics that harken back to prime Queen or Bowie, only with a firm DIY/Punk ethos and execution. Their debut record “NWR&P” was pressed on square-shaped vinyl and selected as an official Record Store Day release in 2018. They followed with an incredibly ambitious concept album in late 2019 titled “From Up There” which only saw a handful of support shows before Earth was attacked by a dangerous virus. The three inter-dimensional beings have been eager to return to their human vessels and continue the fight to keep rock and roll alive … because if it dies … so do you.

Produced by Grammy-nominee and BR549 founder Chuck Mead, their new album Bullseye ranges from catchy pedal steel-filled numbers (“Everything I Know”) to two-step worthy tunes (“Here Come The Blues”) to never before recorded fan live favorites (“Rattlesnake Whiskey” and “Saturday Night Town”). Set for release on April 3oth, 2021, Bullseye has been praised by a range of outlets including Rolling Stone Country, American Songwriter, Wide Open Country, The Boot, and The Bluegrass Situation, amongst others; the album recently debuted Top 30 on Americana radio charts.
