Gauche + Jeanines + The Smashing Times

GAUCHE

A People’s History of Gauche, the debut LP from Washington, DC’s Gauche, is a collective catharsis of anger, frustration, & trauma through creativity. Jason P Barnett, Adrienne CN Berry, Mary Jane Regalado, Pearie Sol, & Daniele Yandel find their agency & joy through creating & performing music together in 36 minutes of groove-filled power punk.

JEANINES

With a sound that captures the ramshackle energy of C-86-style guitar pop, the winsome grit of noise pop bands of the ’90s, and some classic folk-rock jangle, the Jeanines are a Brooklyn duo who know their indie pop history, as their 2019 self-titled debut and 2022’s assured follow-up Don’t Wait for a Sign clearly demonstrate.

The Smashing Times

The Smashing Times, psychedelic twee freakbeat from a Baltimore basement. Instruments played by humans, bare feet touching the ground. Wrinkled button downs, sweaters filled with holes, music audibly and sometimes visibly made by humans. Can you change the strings on your guitar? Maybe, can you buy me dinner? Lock up your Rickenbackers, Thee Jasmine Monk is coming to town, can they stay on your couch?
