Live This Week: June 15 - 21, 2025

If your dad likes indie rock, you should definitely bring him out to Farewell tonight (Sunday) to catch Morpho. Or if you are trying to avoid your dad/thinking about your dad and you like indie rock, you should go see Morpho. Monday night's MJ Lenderman gig at The Truman will probably be something you can brag about to your friends and strangers alike five years from now (or immediately after the show). And Wednesday's show at The Bottleneck with Creeping Death (TX) and Kruelty (all the way from Japan) is can't-miss shit if you're into death metal or heavy hardcore. Plus, local '90s street punks Tanka Ray are playing an all ages gig at Howdy on Saturday.

 

Other acts worth catching this week include Insane Clown Posse, Provoker, John Moreland, Turn On You, Green Jello, Perfume Genius, IV & The Strange Band, New Found Glory, Deglover, Key Glock, Asleep At The Wheel, and The New Riddim.
