The ninth studio album from Deer Tick, Coin-O-Matic casts a bright light on a little-known facet of the American mythos: the hidden histories of the band’s home state of Rhode Island, where the everyday dramas of working-class families long collided with the menace of the mafia underworld. As they tapped into their infinite fascination with that strange duality, singer/guitarist John McCauley, guitarist/singer Ian O’Neil, drummer/singer Dennis Ryan, and bassist Christopher Ryan assembled a batch of songs exploring desperation, grief, redemption, and resilience with both cinematic detail and lived-in emotionality. A sharp new turn from one of indie-rock’s most enduringly vital forces, Coin-O-Matic arrives as a complicated love letter to a way of life slowly slipping from the collective memory. Followed by Presley Haile. VIP Pre-show Experience: - One (1) General Admission ticket - Hear Deer Tick play a few songs not featured in the night’s setlist! - VIP-exclusive tour poster, signed by the band - Specially designed Deer Tick tote bag - Commemorative VIP laminate and lanyard - Merchandise shopping prior to doors opening to the public - Early entry to the venue

Odezenne have just announced their new album DOULA, spearheaded by the single “Hey Joe” that was unveiled as a surprise on their socials, away from the typical music promo circuit. This is what the Odezenne method is all about: a special bond forged with their fans since 2008, step by step, discreetly. A kind of mutual trust that has filled every venue in France, and given the band full control over their creativity. After selling-out the Unplugged tour in just a few minutes, and enjoying a so-called break, Odezenne plugged in the gear and their two microphones sooner than expected. Titled “Doula” (we're not quite sure why), it's precisely on stage that we may have the beginning of an answer (or not). With only a dozen shows in France, do not miss the chance to experience the band live, as rumour has it that it's quite an experience.
