[DID NOT ATTEND: April 11, 2025] Chase Petra / Small Crush / Sorry Mom
I saw Chase Petra open for Pool Kids and they were great.
Lead singer Hunter Allen’s vocals are fantastic. Loud and powerful with some great subtleties–she puts a lot of emotion into her delivery. Guitarist Genevieve Quiquivix played some great riffs and even put some cool finger tappings between lines of the verses–awesome.
I would have greatly enjoyed seeing them again, but I still wasn’t leaving the house after my wife’s surgery.
Small Crush is from L.A. They write short poppy punky songs that are a ton of fun. More poppy than punky, but with a great DIY vibe. Their bio says the band
began in Logan Hammon’s bedroom when she was 13 years old, writing songs on her dad’s old guitar and recording covers on garageband. In her sophomore year of high school, she found some friends in jazz band class to help fulfill her dream of playing her songs in a full band. Together the band began developing their indie rock sound by getting inspired by 90s alternative and early 2000s indie.
Sorry Mom is a queer punk band from New York City. Their bio is pretty great. It says that they
like to hang out and play music and shoot hoops. they’ve shared the court with the likes of ajj and two members of the front bottoms.

We’re Juno and Taryn. Juno sings and plays guitar and writes all our songs. Taryn drums and makes websites on Wix. Juno does stick and poke tattoos and loves to cook. Taryn has lots of plants and likes to draw pictures that have frogs in them. If you’ve ever seen a business-y tweet from our band account, that was Taryn.If you’ve ever seen a nonsense, borderline psychotic tweet from the band account, that was Juno. It’s very nice to meet you!
Their songs are fast and sloppy and fun as anything. No doubt very fun live.
