50 THINGS TO DO IN SEPTEMBER

From Sierra Hull’s bluegrass shred to Rico Nasty’s chaos-core rap, September’s poppin’ like a busted seltzer can. The Jonas Brothers are also here (don't lie, you know every word), and that’s just the tip of the events iceberg.

THIS WEEK

🌎 Earth

Tonight @ Mississippi Studios (8PM)

Earth is bringing their slowcore sludge and drone gospel to Mississippi Studios, proving once again that volume is a valid emotion. A spiritual experience for anyone who’s ever stared into a canyon too long.

🎸 Tenants, Bendre The Giant, Trauma Club

Tomorrow @ Holocene (7:30PM)

Tenants, Bendre The Giant, and Trauma Club are stacking the bill with noise, nerves, and nasty riffs. Come early, stay anxious. This one’s built for pit rats and post-punk lovers.

🤘 Cursive

Tomorrow & Thursday @ Mississippi Studios (9PM)

Cursive is back to turn your chest cavity into a wine glass with that emo-laced post-hardcore screech you still secretly crave. Expect catharsis.

🔥 The Offspring

Thursday @ Cascades Amphitheater (7PM)

The Offspring are rolling through with enough pop-punk fuel to melt your middle school brain all over again. Yes, they’re playing the hits. No, you’re not too old to scream along.

🎧 Timmy Trumpet

Thursday @ 45 East (9PM)

Timmy Trumpet’s bringing his EDM-meets-brass madness to town — half rave, half marching band from another dimension. Bring comfy shoes and questionable decisions.
