Coffis Brothers - Do You Want To(ur)

Friday, March 6th 2026

Genre - Roots Rock/Americana 

Doors @ 7PM - Show Starts @ 8PM

With two songwriters, six albums, and more than a thousand shows under their belt, The Coffis Brothers have earned their reputation as modern-day torchbearers of all-American rock & roll. It's a sound caught halfway between amplified Americana, acoustic folk, roadhouse R&B, and electrifying roots music, crafted by a pair of California-born siblings who've been sharing the stage since childhood, and the five piece band filled out by their childhood friend, Kyle Poppen on lead guitar, and the rhythm section of Aidan Collins (bass), and Cory Graves (drums).

That sound reaches a new peak with Kaw-fis Bruth-urs. The band's third collaboration with Bay Area legend (and longtime Mother Hips frontman) Tim Bluhm, who serves as the album's producer, Kaw-fis Bruth-urs finds Jamie and Kellen Coffis letting their guard down, enjoying the creative ride as much as the destination itself. For every signature-sounding song like "Cut Right Through" — a heartland rock anthem built for highway drives and long horizons, as sunny as the band's Golden State homeland and as hook-driven as a Tom Petty classic — there's another track that stretches the band's sound into new territory. The result is The Coffis Brothers' widest-ranging album yet, running the gamut from bluesy, blue-eyed soul ("Face the Music") to jangling, harmony-heavy power pop (“Do You Want To").  

"This is what we do, and we're giving ourselves license to evolve and get better at it, too" says Jamie, who was raised in the Santa Cruz Mountains of northern California alongside his mother — a children's musician — and his younger brother. Decades after Jamie and Kellen made their stage debut alongside their mom, singing three-part blood harmonies at a young age, their musical bond has only grown stronger, sharpened by hundreds of live shows as much as their shared DNA. "It's the natural evolution of us performing together and spending so much of our lives together," Kellen adds. "We didn't set out to make anything in one particular direction — we just wanted to make a batch of really great songs."

Genre - Mix of prog-rock, metal, funk, hip-hop, dub, and electronic music

Doors @ 7PM - Show Starts @ 8PM

Presale - $25  Door - $35

Lespecial - 

lespecial is redefining the term “power trio”. The multi-instrumentalists from Connecticut continue to push the boundaries of what a three-piece band is capable of both live and in the studio ahead of their latest album, “Odd Times”. The band’s signature blend of “heavy future groove” combines headbanging metal riffage and surgical rhythmic precision with bone shaking 808s, sub synths and ethereal vocal stylings for a dance floor that welcomes moshing, dancing and hip swaying alike. Listeners are taken on a journey to the musical netherworld through esoteric soundscapes punctuated by raw, primal power.

Odd Times, lespecial’s darkest and heaviest record to date, is an enigmatic and compelling musical project that explores the ever-changing nature of time amidst isolation. With heavy riffs, tribal drumming, and hints of levity, it's a captivating journey crafted in collaboration with Havok's David Sanchez. An intriguing blend of old-school metal and modern djent-inspired riffage awaits in this haunting sonic experience.

Yak Attack - 

Yak Attack is a live electronica power trio from Portland, Oregon. The band has been building buzz on the strength of its live shows and the instant connection its music makes with new listeners. Their music is best described as “organic
electronica”, using skillful playing, live loops, and tightly constructed songs combined with raw improvisation to build high-energy and uplifting music from scratch, where every note is played and recorded live. The group draws on influences from a wide spectrum of electronica, such as house, drum and bass, and breakbeat, along with elements of jam, funk, and jazz. The result is a live show that is musically sophisticated but widely accessible, with a diverse and engaged fanbase that travels to out of town shows and festivals to witness the band’s continually evolving sound.

Yak Attack has been selling out local and regional shows and has developed a reputation as “the region’s go to late night act” in the summer festival and afterparty circuit. They spent the early part of 2019 touring in support of live electronic heavyweights STS9 and Sunsquabi, and the band has also shared the stage with emerging acts such as Goose, Fruition, Turkuaz, TAUK, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, and The Magic Beans. After releasing “Safety Third” on Ropeadope records in 2018, the band is currently recording their fourth full-length album, while making the rounds at national events such as Camp Bisco, Jazzfest, Peach Fest and many new cities across the country. Watch for Yak Attack to bring its unique dance party to a venue near you.

West 22nd - The To Be or Not To Be Tour

with Dipsea Flower 

Friday, March 20th 2026

Genre - Rock

Doors @ 7PM - Show Starts @ 8PM

Presale - $20  Door - $30

West 22nd -

West 22nd is a rock band out of Austin, TX, made up of friends who met at UT Austin and came together with one shared goal: to make music for the world and become the next great rock band. 

Their sound—self-described as carousel rock—spins through genre, emotion, and energy without ever losing its center. It’s a term they coined to capture the controlled chaos of their music: sometimes dizzying, sometimes grounding, always unforgettable. 

From a breakout EP to a debut album that pulled in over 1.5 million streams in its first month, West 22nd has made it clear they’re not here to blend in. Their lyrics are autobiographical, their shows are electric, and their ambition’s impossible to miss. They’ve already played ACL, sold out venues in cities they’d never even been to, and built a fanbase that screams every word right back at them. 

West 22nd isn’t a throwback or a trend—they're what’s next. And if you’ve ever been in a crowd when the chorus hits just right, you already know.

Dipsea Flower -

Dipsea Flower is a folk-rock band from California blending West Coast folk with modern indie energy and four-part harmony.

The Thing w/ The Macks & Cptn Over

Thursday, March 26th 2026

Presale - $20  Door - $30

Doors @ 7PM - Show Starts @ 8PM

The Thing - 

What is The Thing? It’s a New York band, sure, but it’s also an ethos. A return to rock & roll’s roots — to garage bands toiling between the family minivans, to groups like the Beatles and their unique alchemy, to tape machines and live band recordings instead of slick studios and myriad songwriters. “We've kind of adapted the ethos of: with restriction comes creativity — old becomes new. And throughout every part of the process that remains true,” says guitarist/vocalist Jack Bradley.

Never is that more apparent than on their self-titled third record, out August 6th on their own label. A rough and tumble suite of 12 songs that nods to everyone from The Kinks to The White Stripes, The Thing sounds like old New York revivicated and remixed. “It showcases all of us, all of our different personalities,” says bassist/vocalist Zane Acord. “In The Thing, we’re a collective band. We hang our hats on being a true band — where we all have the spotlight. I think that gives us a different edge.” That album follows 2023’s debut, Here’s the Thing, and The Things Is, which dropped the following year.

The four members of Thing came from intersecting backgrounds, lending to their rock-and-roll-as-melting-pot vibe. Acord grew up with a drummer dad who hipped him to bands like Led Zeppelin and Grand Funk Railroad; he met guitarist/vocals Michael Carter — an avid Beatles fan — in middle school. The duo went on to collect Bradley in high school, an aspiring producer with a studio in his basement and a yen for psych rock. Jazz drummer Lucas Ebeling linked up with the band when everyone found their way to New York in 2022. They’ve since played more than 300 shows across the world.

The band’s self-titled work, then, is a culmination of all those influences — and all that hustle. “We threw all of our different various influences throughout — all the decades of rock and roll and adjacent genres — and ended up with something of our own,” Bradley says. “Our contribution to the genre. Our style. Our… thing.”

LONG LIVE THE THING.

The Macks -

All the identity and none of the crisis! The Macks are in their own pocket. Your fifth-favorite-band’s fifth-favorite-band are hardened road warriors and goblins of their basement studio.

Virile and award-winning like a show horse, The Macks deliver a sonic-f*****g-circus and they are turning heads around the country and internationally through the airwaves and their touring roadshow.

With their latest LP release, "The Macks are a Knife" The Macks have released their most poised and pungent LP as a result of their think-tank approach to producing records. Released through the indie German label Devil Duck Records, the record is well-crafted and powerful, showcasing the band's most realized collective studio work to date. With a lineup that has the group firing on all cylinders both live and in the studio, The Macks have folks tuning in and spelling it right.

Cptn Over - 

CPTN OVER is a high-energy rock/psych/garage/whatever band based in Bend, OR.

Volcanic Theatre Pub & 1988 Entertainment Presents:

Pedro the Lion

Friday, March 27th 2026

Presale - $25  Door - $35

Doors @ 7PM - Show Starts @ 8PM

For thirty years, David Bazan has been writing about what it means to believe in something—and what it means when those beliefs fray. When Pedro the Lion released It's Hard to Find a Friend in 1998, Bazan was already a keen observer of moral and existential conflict, capturing minor human disappointments with devastating attention. By the time Control came out, his writing had sharpened, slicing through suburban politeness and the American dream with pinpoint precision. For over a decade, he built Pedro the Lion into one of indie rock's most quietly radical projects, chronicling doubt, faith, guilt, and the messy pursuit of grace in a way that felt both deeply personal and
universally resonant.

Then, in 2006, he retired the Pedro the Lion moniker, as if setting down an old burden. Bazan kept writing, releasing the synth project Headphones and five solo albums that
were blunt and revelatory in their own right, but the decision to retire the name felt definitive. Until, suddenly, it wasn't. In 2017, after being dormant for more than a decade, Pedro the Lion was back. The deeply autobiographical albums to follow, Phoenix, Havasu and Santa Cruz, marked a return to the places that shaped him literally and metaphorically, tracing the lines of the past to understand the shape of the present.

Now, on the occasion of Pedro the Lion's 30th anniversary, Bazan is doing what he does best: stepping onto a stage with long-time musical collaborator, Erik Walters on guitar and backing vocals, along with recent addition to the band, Andrew Rudd on drums, and making these songs feel brand new again. The anniversary shows are less about commemoration than they are continuation, a chance to revisit their 30-year catalog in a way that is still active, still evolving.

"The name felt like an imaginary friend for me," he says, "a way to have a relationship with myself." But if Pedro the Lion was once an imaginary friend, it is now something else. It is less like a ghost from the past and more like an old companion you fall back in step with, no matter how much time has passed. For all the sorrow and searching that has shaped it, the music has always had an essential warmth—a belief in people, in possibility, and in the redemptive power of bearing witness to your own life. Three decades in, Pedro the Lion remains a project about faith, even if that faith has taken on new shapes. It's the persistent hope that there is meaning in the telling: if you lay it all out, every doubt and devotion, every failure and flicker of hope, something honest will emerge.
