[DID NOT ATTEND: February 22, 2024] Grace Vonderkuhn / Puppy Angst / Babyfang
This show was announced not too long ago. A free show–an opportunity to see Grace Vonderkuhn again. In a venue I’d never been to. It was compelling,
But I had tickets to see Indigo de Souza, who I’ve been trying to see for a couple of years now.
While I was waiting for Truth Club to go on, I saw this update from the Grace camp
UPDATE: Due to sickness in the ranks, I (Grace) will be ~opening~ the free show at @fringebarphilly tonight with an intimate *solo* performance followed by @webabyfang and @puppyangst . Hope to see you there!
I genuinely don’t even know what Grace Koon would sound like solo. I’d have been bummed to discover that I wasn’t getting the whole band (if I had blown of Indigo for this show).
Babyfang is a trio based in Brooklyn The band consists of: Oakland, California native, Théo Mode (guitarist), Houston, Texas native, Canteen Killa (drummer) and Queens, New York native, 13th Law (bassist).
I listened to their album and I really like it. It pulls from all directions, often within a singular song. The vocals remind me of shoegaze, the guitars rock but there’s all kinds of interesting elements pinging around the songs. I imagine they are really intense live.
Puppy Angst is from Philly and they describe themselves:
It’s like puppy love but a lil more sad 🐕 shoegazy/dreamy fuzz pop; kind of fun kind of a bummer [alyssa + eric + john + dan + pauli💓]
Their album scorpio season hits me in all the right places–fuzzy guitars, poppy melodies and confessional storytelling. Great stuff.
I Just Read About That...
