[DID NOT ATTEND: August 27, 2026] Pinkshift / Kulfi Girls / Hit Like a Girl

I’m pretty sure I didn’t hear about this show until it was too late to go.  Because this is a killer lineup.  I’m a little off Pinkshift because I’ve seen them a bunch (the last show wasn’t quite as fun as the earlier ones for whatever reason).

If I had known it was a 5 year tour for their Saccharine EP, I definitely would have tried to go.  But I had had tickets for Swervedriver that night and I was really excited to see them since it was the 30th anniversary of the Rise album.  You can’t go to every show.

The real reason I wanted to go to this show is to see Kulfi Girls.  I recently ried to see them and wound up leaving before they went on because I felt crappy.  This is the fourth time I haven’t been able to see them for one reason or another.  I know that they;r e ayoung enough band that I’ll get to see them again, but come on!

Hit Like a Girl is from Philly. They are a project created by Nicolle Maroulis and meshing sonic influence like midwest emo, hardcore, synth pop, and alternative.  Their new album’s first song sounds like country and the second song is screamed synth punk.  Crazy.  I’ll bet they were fun.

[DID NOT ATTEND: April 4, 2026] Wax Jaw / KulfiGirls / Lash Out

I was such a huge fan of Wax Jaw and I wanted to see them every chance I got.  And then for some reason, I wasn’t that excited about this show.  Have I outgrown them?  I don’t know.  Maybe it’s because I already had a ticket to a different show that night that I wasn’t thinking about this show too much.  Of coure, we wound up going to Minnesota so I wouldn’t have been able to go anyhow.

KulfiGirls are a Philadelphia-based rock band fronted by lead vocalist Abi Natesh who, through her use of the South Indian Saraswati veena, presents a novel “carnatic rock” sound inspired by diverse genres of pop and rock. 

I hadn’t heard of them, but holy cow I would have absolutely gone to this show for KulfiGirls.  Their mix of South Indian music and indie rock is really exciting and interesting.  And Abi’s voice is fantastic.  I’m going to have to check them out.

Lash Out is a Philadelphia band made up of Taylor and Tessa.  They are very low-fi and their songs are really short (on bandcamp, they do a cover of Big Lizard in My Backyard).  Also on their bandcamp is a collection of demos and their debut album Lash Out (which doesn’t sound much more polished than the demos.  Their songs are simple and short and decidedly DIY.
