I Just Read About That…

[ATTENDED: December 9, 2025] The Sewing Club

The Sewing Club is from Nashville.  I hadn’t heard of them before this show.  When I walked in, their guitarist was at a merch table selling cute little hand sewed monsters.  He later told me he had been sewing since he was little and thought it would be fun merch given their band name. And it was!  I bought one.

The Sewing Club are a four piece of two guitars (Stephen Meaux and Justin McKinney), drummer Zach McCoy (who added great backing vocals) and singer/bassist/keyboardist Hannah McElroy.  I was in front of  McCoy and very close to their merch guitarist (I’m not sure who was who).  I could clearly see McElroy, but the other guitarist was on the far side of the stage and I never really saw him.

They opened up quietly with Sport Mode.  I enjoyed the shoegaze vibe of the song and the intensity of the guitars, but was blown away when the song started rocking out.  The loud part was simple but really catchy with the two guitars playing different parts (one lead).  Up next was Wyatt, a song that mixed the tempo up right from the start (and which had some soaring guitar lines).

I enjoyed watching the crowd around me get more and more into the set especially when Wait kicked in and ramped up the intensity.

For Bite, Hannah switched to keys.  This was a much slower and more mellow song, although the rest of the band joined in before the end.  After an unknown song (the most rocking of the set with lines something like I wish you’d die), they played a newer song that they were sure they’d screw up (they didn’t) with some fun headbanging from Hannah.

They ended their 30 minute set with Strange, a slower song that filled the room and had a killer guitar riff.  I really liked their set a lot and look forward to more music from them.
