| April Show(er)s
Whaddup Sput! Been a few moons since I killed my workday posting one of these, but list is the upcoming shows on my docket through the lovely, drizzly, dismal month of April. | | 1 |  | Finch
Say Hello to Sunshine
Playing Ram's Head Live 4/5 (tomorrow!) - So technically my boys here are opening for Bayside, but seeing the mostly-intact O.G. lineup play will be worth the ticket price alone. Beyond hyped for this, WIItB and SHtS are all-timers, and I've never seen them live, so...great Friday vibes all around. | | 2 |  | Bayside
Sirens & Condolences
No disrespect to these guys, who seem to have been consistently trucking away since their heyday, but I honestly never really kept tabs on them past the debut. Any stans out there, feel free to let me know if there are any highlights I should dig into through this surprisingly robust discography. | | 3 |  | Armor For Sleep
What To Do When You Are Dead
Also opening, and arguably another band I'm honestly a bit more amped to see than 2, at least in terms of being familiar with all their stuff. (For its part, The Rain Museum was a shockingly solid comeback, too.) P.S. There's another opener, not in the database, called Winona Fighter. They seem...okay. From the EP I spun, pretty Paramore-indebted pop-punk stuff, so...solid for what it is, but I won't be devastated missing a couple songs of their set. | | 4 |  | Rosali
Bite Down
Playing Metro Gallery 4/9 - I'd huff and puff how I'm kind of surprised that the Waxahatchee-and-Big Thief-loving contingent of the Sputverse hasn't sung Rosali's praises a bit more, but that'd be hypocritical given my buddy just brought her to my attention a couple weeks ago when he mentioned this show haha...I told him she sounds like if Aimee Mann sang for Wilco, and he didn't argue. I'm not as accustomed to seeing this ilk alt-countryish-folk act live, especially at a (said with love) hole in the wall spot like Metro, so should be interesting. If nothing else, chill vibes for a schoolnight show. Opener is an act called Verity Den, who are even less on my radar. | | 5 |  | Movements
Ruckus!
Playing Ram's Head Live 4/10 - My old bones quiver at the thought of back-to-back shows nowadays, especially if they're both midweek, but this band lineup is enough of a draw for me to get my lazy self in gear. Movements' new album's grown on me a shocking amount, but my buddy saw them in Pittsburgh relatively recently and said they do a blend of everything, which is all the better! | | 6 |  | Tigers Jaw
I Won't Care How You Remember Me
Opening for 5, another act I'm approaching more hyped to see than the headliner, were it not for the fact that I've caught them live before. | | 7 |  | Webbed Wing
What's So Fucking Funny?
Also opening - dig these guys, some definite icing on the cake. | | 8 |  | Paerish
Fixed It All
The fourth(!) act on the Movements bill - was honestly unfamiliar with them before seeing the lineup, and what I've spun, I've enjoyed. The bizarrely specific comparison I came up with for my friend is they sound like if the guy from Abandoned Pools fronted one of the whatever-wave grunge acolytes like Dosser or Soul Blind. | | 9 |  | Arm's Length
Never Before Seen, Never Again Found
Playing The Atlantis 4/18 - Unfortunately kind of a longshot, between the trek to D.C. and, far more so, the fact that tickets that cost $25 initially are now going for $100+ on resale. Thanks, scalpers! The quandary is, I love this entire bill, and have yet to check out The Atlantis--not to mention that tour-only split from three of the acts, so...watch this space. | | 10 |  | Carly Cosgrove
See You in Chemistry
Opening for 9 - Have caught them live once in the past before actually knowing who they were (before realizing the joke/reference of the name, I'd sort of assumed some skinny blonde singer-songwriter); they won me over big time, would love to catch them again now that I can belt along like a fool. | | 11 |  | Saturdays at Your Place
always cloudy
Another opener for AL - I don't know if it counts since I truly only started sinking my ear-teeth into it in January, but this might be my favorite EP of 2023. | | 12 |  | Ben Quad
I'm Scared That's All There Is
*Also* opening - Truthfully, the band I was least familiar with on the lineup, but hot damn does this album slap. | | 13 |  | Rodrigo y Gabriela
Rodrigo y Gabriela
Playing Ram's Head 4/27 - I can finally atone for failing to see these two when they played a random early-afternoon slot at Virgin Festival over a decade ago. No openers seem to have been announced, which...I wouldn't envy anybody made to share the stage with these guys. | |

04.04.24 | Not pictured: Two fun novelty acts - first one is an 80s cover band called The Legwarmers my special lady wants to go see, which should be a good time; the other is a nerdy-ass band called Galactic Empire who seem to do metal covers of Star Wars music, which my friend wants to make it out to. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't intrigued. | onionbubs
