[DID NOT ATTEND: August 23, 2026] Faetooth / Latter / Bosses
I didn’t know Faetooth at all, but I saw that they were opening for Die Spitz in October and headlining this show in August. I didn’t really think about going to this because I figured I’d see them with Die Spitz. Then my friend Max said that a bunch of them were going to see the show, so I investigated more. I couldn’t go, but it got me more excited to check out Faetooth, whom they said were really good. The band describes themselves as a fairy-dOoM trio from los angeles. The group is composed of Ari May as guitarist and vocalist, Jenna Garcia as bassist and vocalist, and Rah Kanan on drums and have been around since 2019.
Latter was the middle band and Max said they enjoyed them even more than Faetooth. I’m listening to their (shirt) album now and it’s really cool. Slow but intense. Heavy and intense. LATTER is a Chicago-based experimental noise rock project formed by Jon Alvarado and Meredith Haines, known for dynamic live performances. Haine’s vocals are screamed in a way that I really like–clear but raw.
Bosses are also from Chicago. Originally conceived as a solo project by singer and guitarist Harlee Young, Bosses is now a five-piece featuring erstwhile members of Old Coke and Dead Sun. Their bio says the group takes influence from grunge, shoegaze and early 2000s alt rock. Layering melodic, ambient leads over distorted rhythms, bosses creates a sound that is heavy, atmospheric, and highly emotional.
Sounds like a great night.
