Junaco
w/ Mad &
Paper Castles
Wednesday 6.17.26 - 8:00pm - Tickets
Junaco's sophomore LP "In Motion" is a reflection of the bands' ever changing lives. Written during winter in Northern California, they were living together in one big circular structure - lighting the wood stove every morning, playing together for hours on end, hiking, sauna-ing, and getting in the icy river every night. In complete isolation and with limited access to the internet, the rest of the world felt far away, and the band was able to finally feel all of the change they had been in the midst of. Produced by the band and engineered by Mario Ramirez, the record features contributions by Oliver Hill, Tyler Chester, and more. Junaco worked closely with artist Drew Litowitz on the album cover, a collection of photos and vignettes that represent the change Junaco reflects on in the album. "In Motion" is a journey of growth, loss, and love; an experiment on what comes up when the noise dies down.
12 rods
w/ Cady Ternity
Thursday 6.18.26 - 7:30pm - Tickets
When Ryan Olcott, songwriter and frontman of Twin Cities’ iconic indie rock band 12 Rods, found unfinished Rods demos during lockdown, he was surprised. When he realized they were good, he was shocked. He quickly set to finishing and recording the compositions, which became If We Stayed Alive, the first 12 Rods album in twenty-one years. “These are songs that I forgot about,” he explains, “but upon finding them, I thought, ‘Wow, these are actually okay.’” That was the easy part. Reacquainting himself with twenty-year-removed craft and technique took some getting used to -- some parts longer than others. He recorded all the instruments in a week, but vocals took a bit longer. “Oh my god!” he laughs, “it took a couple days to get my voice back with that range and that power, but I could do it.” Any cobwebs that needed dusting are long gone. If We Stayed Alive is everything longtime fans have wanted, and the perfect introduction to what some called “America’s Radiohead" and what others have called one of the best indie bands of the ‘90s.
​
Despite these songs being written twenty-two years ago, their sound, themes, mood are evergreen. Lead single, pop nugget “My Year (This Is Going To Be),” is both the appropriate ticket to a new era and a souvenir of the past, gussied up in self-awareness, humor, and perhaps the faintest bit of hope. “Cause with all my calculations/Everything looks so, so clear/This is going to be my year.” Which of us didn’t watch the dawn of 2020 thinking the same, only to have confused stellar light with nuclear flash? Everything magnetic in vintage Rods -- pitch-perfect, Beach Boys-esque harmonies, clean, rhythmic guitar, grooving bass, steady drums -- and that clear, plaintive voice invoking our deepest, silliest wish: that everything’s going to be okay.
​
And that’s only one of the album’s seven bangers. From album opener “All I Can Think About,” with its subdued inner monologue musings that meander from world-weary to awestruck, to the grunge-indebted “Comfortable Situation,” to the smooth, loungey “The Beating,” it’s clear that Olcott isn’t just picking up where he left off, but having fun while doing it.
​
“To be honest,” Olcott says, “I think it’s the best material I’ve had to offer so far.” If you had asked me a few years ago whether the reunion 12 Rods album could be their best, I don’t know how I would have answered. But if you had shown me videos of UFOs cruising the globe and told me an Air Force general didn’t rule out extraterrestrial responsibility, I would have called shenanigans on that. 2023 is weird as hell. And it’s about to get weirder. What else can I say? It’s 12 Rods. It’s new. It’s everything we’ve waited for.

Their fourth album drifts between dreamy noise rock, folky slowcore, and fuzzy indie-pop, coining a genre all their own:“yearn-core.”With wistful vocals, textural distortion, and poetic detail, Living Hour capture the ache of memory, the mess of feeling, and the beauty in what remains.

What's an organ trio? A tradition rooted in jazz and soul-jazz, an organ trio is a three-piece ensemble of musicians without a bass guitar player. The low-end instead comes from the organ player’s foot pedals and/or left hand. Typically the organ is accompanied by drums and guitar, filling out the sound. Pioneers of this style include Wild Bill Davis, Bill Doggett and the great Jimmy Smith. We here at Three Piece Meal draw influence from this style as a format and structure for composition and arrangement. We consider it an important point to honor the tradition and pioneers of this great style and hope to bring our own flavors to the bountiful meal we all share together as humans on Planet Earth.

HOLLYY
w/ momdad
Friday 6.26.26 - 9:30pm - Tickets
Lauded as “the future of retro rock” (CLASH Mag), Chicago-based Hollyy masterfully imparts a sound both grounded in youth and transcendent of it. Since the band’s inception in March 2020, this group of self-proclaimed “garage-soul boys” has released a collection of breezy singles as well as their debut EP, Miss the Feeling.
​
Flaunting a signature combination of stirring vocals, jazzy instrumentals, and indie rock stylings, its no surprise that Hollyy has been likened “to such modern soul powerhouses like St. Paul and the Broken Bones” (Atwood Magazine). Aside from headlining their own live shows, Hollyy has opened for several prominent artists, including Jacob Banks and Gwen Stefani. In 2021 they also recorded an Audiotree Live session and began work on their second EP, If You’re Ever Lost.
​
Produced and engineered with the help of Mark Needham (The Killers, Fleetwood Mac) and Nixon Boyd (Hollerado), If You’re Ever Lost is written from a long-form musical headspace and reflects upon the group’s collective experience of isolation and introspection over the past two years. It aims to cultivate an air of experimental creativity as of yet unseen in their discography. Release date: February 11, 2022.

QUEER TAKEOVER
FT. BOYHOOD & more!
Saturday 6.27.26 - 8:00pm - Tickets at the door!
When Caylie Runciman started calling herself Boyhood, it was a nod to childhood nostalgia. The alias – and the beguiling bedroom anthems – are one and the same. Tough-kid guitar grit and deadpan verses give way to whimsical synth lines and delicate harmonies. But like an off-kilter merry-go-round, or a candy shop in a seedy part of town, there’s a shady layer to Runciman’s perfect pop. Her black magic is raw – equal parts ecstasy and heartbreak. And in among the bright colours, there’s the joy and the pain in knowing what it means to grow up.

​

SQWERV
Saturday 7.4.26 - 9:00pm - Tickets
Sqwerv's roots run deep in the Denver music scene. Those roots began to take hold as the band started hosting local open jams and playing gigs at small bars and venues in 2017. Since then, Sqwerv has become a staple in Denver's music scene with bands like Magic Beans, Squeaky Feet, Eminence Ensemble and Rado.
​
This four-piece Indie-Psych Rock band's love for classic rock, psychedelic music and improvisation creates a sound that is refreshingly original and exciting. Sqwerv realizes the importance of good songwriting and is always pushing themselves in the improvisation. The band spends a great deal of time writing lyrics, composing, and developing song structure that has grown into a catalogue that ranges from twelve minute prog songs inspired by Homer's Odyssey to two minute psych songs about love. They are fiercely driven to get to those transcendent, improvised spaces that all jam-music lovers crave. Sqwerv continues to deliver to their audiences through groove, counterpoint, polyrhythms and risk taking.
In the last two years the band has released two studio albums, three live albums and completed two national tours with no plans on stopping. They have had the opportunity to open for acts like Lespecial, Spafford, Eggy and Big Something. They hold themselves to a rigorous tour schedule playing unique shows for their fans on a regular basis. Sqwerv leans into the dark and the beautiful while thriving off of the sounds they create and connections they make.
CONSUMABLES
w/ polkarobics
Friday 7.10.26 - 8:00pm - Tickets
Consumables are a fierce NYC-based art punk quartet with a defiant philosophical edge. Their debut album, Infinite Games, co-written and produced by Bodega’s Ben Hozie, cuts to the heart of contemporary alienation by grappling with the desperate quest for control in a world drowning in chaos and unpredictability. The band is made up of Kyle Crew (vocals, guitar), Miles Fox (vocals, bass, synth), Hector Guillen (drums), and Dylan Joyce (guitar).
​
Consumables have made a name for themselves with their explosive live performances around NYC. Guitarist Kyle Crew is tall, confident, and observant, like a watchtower atop a stage where everyone and everything is moving. This commanding presence translates to the album’s rollicking opening track, “Keys to the Cell,” a reflection on Crew’s six-month incarceration in an Arkansas jail on pot charges. The track kicks off the album on a raw and optimistic note, revelling in possibilities and new horizons. It lays down the aesthetic gauntlet for what’s to come: “screaming sirens came and went / everything’s a game of chance.”
DOLL SPIRIT VESSEL
w/ HISSSS &
FRANCIE + JON (OF FLORRY)
Saturday 7.11.26 - 9:00pm - Tickets
Against all odds, Doll Spirit Vessel is back to rock. After their 2022 debut on Disposable America, What Stays, bandleader Katya Malison spent years on the road with Florry, working on the next DSV album in fits and starts between tours. The result, 2026’s Bow, pushes the indie rock hooks of the first record into new territory, at times grand and orchestral, elsewhere haunting and intimate. What unites both records, and especially the live show, are a set of canny uptempo rock songs, melodically rich and deceptively poetic without sounding overly precious – what Stereogum called “just good indie rock music.”
LOMELDA,
PLUME GIRL,
& HOME BAKER
Monday 7.13.26 - 7:30 pm - Tickets
Everyday I Weave on the Great Loom by Plume Girl and Home Baker:
​
Apart from Sowmya's voice and Walter's EWI (electronic wind instrument), the two artists used only one other instrument to make this record together: a digital tape machine called the Bastl Thyme. They take turns, one singing or playing their instrument, the other weaving and unweaving the other's choices with the Thyme. The result is a fraught composition, like humanity's constant give and take with fate, like attempting to put a thumb on the scale to gain a little control, and therefore comfort, in an inherently incomprehensible world.
​
To celebrate the release of Everyday I Weave on the Great Loom, Plume Girl and Home Baker have prepared a show in the style of the recording. In addition to performing the album's Voice and Wind sections, the live show will include a portion of new music by Lomelda that all three artists perform together with the same practice of trust that defines the album.
​
These three artists are friends, the thank god we found each other kind of friends. They started collaborating a few years ago, and now even their distinct projects owe a lot to each other. This concert is a little homage to fate and friendship, the inescapable entanglements we owe our lives to.
MELISSA CHILINSKI
& ELIJAH BERLOW
Wednesday 7.15.26 - 7:00 pm - Tickets
Old time and bluegrass musician Melissa Chilinski is an artist people remember. With her nimble banjo and rich, jazz and country inspired vocals, she’s been called a pairing of Gillian Welch, Medeleine Pyroux, and Norah Jones – an old-time-meets-modern vibe that keeps listeners hanging on to every vocal and instrumental note. “Chilinski paves her own way,” reads a review of her self-titled album, “turning the timeless into something beautiful and brand new.”
Elijah Berlow is a Chicago-based songwriter and multi-instrumentalist folk musician. Berlow is a playful story-teller with a narrative style grounded in the traditions of Americana music. As a vocalist, he emanates a sincere warmth through his thoughtful phrasing. Berlow creates music that is complex, soulful and in conversation with a rich rhythmic history.

Psych-infused, twangy folk rock from Brooklyn, NY.
MOE REEN &
LOUISA STANCIOFF
Saturday 7.18.26 - 4:00 pm - Tickets
Country-folk songsmith Moe Reen writes from the heart, for the heart. A lifelong vocalist, their old-school country voice harkens to honky-tonk-heartbreak crooners of yesteryear, while their lyrics appeal to the personal-political concerns of today. The songs on their debut EP, Grow Again, include a finger-picked reflection on the malaise of seasonal depression alongside a slow-dancing lament likening climate deniers to unrequited lovers. Moe's marriage of sentimental sound with contemporary sentiment produces something distinctly their own: earnest lyrics cradled by melodies that tenderly soar to tend to the sore, soft spots of us all.
Born and raised in the foothills of Western Maine, Louisa Stancioff learned to entertain herself by singing songs with her sister and playing the piano, fiddle, guitar and any other instrument lying around the house. Stancioff grew up learning traditional Balkan music from her paternal grandfather’s side of the family, and reveled in singing American folk and roots tunes with her friends. She moved through life nomadically in her early adulthood, living in upstate New York, Western North Carolina, Montana and California, and gathered her songwriting material along the way, playing in multiple bands throughout those years.
FABIANO DO
NASCIMENTO
Saturday 7.18.26 - 9:00pm - Tickets
Fabiano do Nascimento is a Rio de Janeiro–born guitarist, composer, arranger, and producer based between Los Angeles and Tokyo, known for his intricate multi-string guitar work and expansive, genre-defying sound.

​
Described by NPR Music as “seraphic… hypnotic and transcendent,” Fabiano has built a reputation as both a virtuosic performer and a forward-thinking composer. His musical lineage traces back to his great-grandfather, Ladario Teixeira, a blind saxophone virtuoso, and was further shaped by early studies in classical piano and formative mentorship under his uncle, bassist and arranger Lucio Nascimento.
​
Since relocating to Los Angeles in 2001, Fabiano has become a sought-after collaborator, working with artists such as Airto Moreira, Arthur Verocai, Sam Gendel, Beirut, Aloe Blacc, Mitski, Daniel Santiago, Itiberê Zwarg, and Vittor Santos, among others.
In 2005, he co-founded the acclaimed Latin jazz group Triorganico, before launching a prolific solo career spanning Sixteen full-length albums released on labels including Now-Again Records, Far Out Recordings, Leaving Records, Music from Memory and Real World Records. His work has reached international audiences through major platforms, including a celebrated appearance on NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert series.
​
Across collaborations and solo work alike, Fabiano continues to expand the boundaries of Brazilian music, merging tradition with a constantly evolving, deeply personal sonic vision.

GYMSHORTS
w/POLKAROBICS,
The Eyetraps,
& the skizm
Wednesday 7.22.26 - 8:00pm - Tickets
Gymshorts is from Rhode Island and like the band’s home state frontwoman Sarah Greenwell is a petite powerhouse that marches to the beat of her own drum. Endearingly rebellious, fiercely independent, and hellbent on causing a commotion, Greenwell embodies the kind of rambunctious unpredictability that has personified some of pop culture’s most legendary troublemakers; a little bit Bart Simpson, a hint of Kevin McCallister, and a dash of Dennis The Menace form the inspirational foundation of Gymshorts’ particular brand of punk n roll, smoked to perfection in the back of Jeff Spicoli’s van. Gymshorts are a sarcastic grin and a pair of bloodshot eyes behind pitch-black Wayfarers in the back row of class, a best friend and a bad influence all rolled into one.
Gymshorts takes musical cues from a deep well of sources, with touchpoints that range from trailblazing new wave punks The Nerves to sassy turn of the millennium bad girls The Donnas tossed into a creative woodchipper with midcentury surf guitar and wooly, flannel wrapped grunge. The resulting sound is ragged and raw and immediately magnetic, rough and tumble with the kind of lived-in authenticity of a scuffed-up pair of skate shoes. A sturdy platform for the band’s unabashedly unique identity that is equal parts bratty and wise, tightly wound and poised to launch in nearly any direction at a moment’s notice.
Blistering speed and high-octane thrills characterize a Gymshorts’ live set, like a juiced-up NASCAR laying a righteous burnout in the winner’s circle, a springy mosh of unbridled exuberance that has earned the band coveted spots supporting Death Valley Girls, Tacocat, La Luz and many others on tours stretching across the globe from Texas to Thailand. As buoyant ambassadors of plucky stick-it-to-the-man attitude, Gymshorts never fail to leave crowds sweaty and satisfied in the aftermath of a ferocious blitzkrieg bop, decimating eardrums in a whirlwind of maximum volume sonic debauchery with an enthusiastic heart of gold.
JOHANNA ROSE
& THE DREAMBOATS
W/ THE BANDIT QUEEN OF SORROWS
Thursday 7.23.26 - 8:00 pm - Tickets
Flail Records artist Johanna Rose is a New Orleans-based singer, songwriter, upright bassist, and street performer making music that lives somewhere between the stars and the gutter. Her sound - smoky, sultry, chaotic - walks the line between beauty and grit.

It’s jazz with a crooked grin; grounded in tradition but never content to stay there.
The Bandit Queen of Sorrows is a folk + blues singer songwriter & multi-instrumentalist playing cello, guitar, banjo, kick drum, tambourine, harp and sometimes kazoo. The Bandit Queen mixes the folk country, jazz and blues of the 60s, and 20s with her original poetry and melodies. Storytelling from her days on the rails and down road.

RESIDUAL GROOVE
Saturday 8.1.26 - 9:00pm - Tickets
Residual Groove is a five-piece indie-jam band from Southern Connecticut that has quickly carved out a rising presence on the modern jam landscape through fearless creativity and locked-in musical chemistry. Blending psychedelic funk rock and thoughtful indie-reminiscent songwriting, the band thrives at the intersection of structure and spontaneity, where carefully crafted songs open into expansive, playful jams and seamless, improv-driven segues. Formed just four years ago, Residual Groove is anchored by brothers Previn Edwards (guitar, vocals) and Kiran Edwards (keyboards, vocals), whose collaborative chemistry shapes the band's melodic and harmonic identity, and is rounded out by Ryan Berry (bass, backing vocals), Adam Finkelstein (drums, backing vocals), and Garrett Halstead (percussion), who together lay down a rhythm section that is both precise and exploratory, equally capable of deep, entrancing grooves and sudden lift-offs.

REVERSAL OF MAN,
NØMAN, BLOSSOM,
& CORRUPT WORLD
Sunday 8.2.26 - 7:30 pm - Tickets
From Tampa, Florida, Reversal of Man started in 1995, a black sheep born from a tumultuous Florida punk scene. Over the course of six years, relentless touring, and countless iconic releases, the band left a legacy with their chaotic, cathartic and iconoclastic brand of DIY hardcore that has inspired a whole new generation of bands in the years since.
Washington D.C.’s NØ MAN is a necessary and much-needed voice in modern hardcore. Formed in 2017, the four-piece punk band has been alchemizing the personal and the political from the jump. Composed of members from Majority Rule, the band’s current aims go hand-in-hand with their past, sonically and thematically.
​
Their upcoming album Glitter and Spit is the band’s third full-length LP, solidifying their furious hardcore into a weapon of a record. Album opener “Eat My Twin” twists and refracts a mid-tempo riff into a sonic hammer, cracking open the record’s heaviness to come. Singer Maha Shami has fully come into her own as a frontperson, snarling out the most vicious vocals of her career on “Poison Darts.”
​
As the daughter of refugees, returning home to Palestine included witnessing first-hand the casual atrocities inflicted on her family. Though written before the current conflict’s boiling point, Glitter and Spit synthesizes the 70+ years of systemic violence carried out against Palestine and her own lived experiences. From school teachers and classmates telling her Palestine doesn’t exist, to being humiliated by soldiers at checkpoints when she visited her family, these many moments fuel the album’s lifeblood, coalescing on “Can’t Kill Us All.”
“They want to silence us,” Shami said at a recent benefit show in D.C. “We will be louder. We aren’t fucking going anywhere. Because Palestine will never die.” Glitter and Spit is a much-needed fire of an album, fueled by the anxieties and anger of the now, erupting in a cathartic inferno.
​
The band’s members Matt Michel (guitar/vocals), Pat Broderick (drums) and Kevin Lamiell (Bass) helped lay the foundation for hardcore and screamo in Majority Rule from 1996 to 2004. Alongside the band, vocalist Maha Shami has been a longtime friend, giving a “cameo” guest vocal performance on Majority Rule’s “Packaged Poison” in 2004. When Majority Rule reunited in 2017 to perform multiple benefit shows, it ignited a desire to keep creating, and no one was better equipped to step in as front person than Shami.
​
Their energy and spirit have brought them together on tour with bands like Portrayal of Guilt, Darkest Hour, FAIM, Entry and more. In 2023 they collaborated with former tourmates and fellow iconoclasts The HIRS Collective on the song “Sweet Like Candy.” They’ve also contributed to Secret Voice’s (the label of Touche Amore frontman Jeremy Bolm) compilation Balladeers, Redefined.

JOHNNY FRANCO
AND HIS REAL
BROTHER DOM
PLUS THEIR SIX PACK OF BUDS
Saturday 9.12.26 - 8:30pm - Tickets
Although the set is packed with groovy music from several genres (rock'n'roll, jump jazz, jungle folk, samba), what really draws the attention and engages the audiences we perform to is the storytelling aspect of the show... The story of the two brazilian brothers moving to the US and the repercussions inward and outward. It's a fun and funny show that mixes classic-comedy-duo gags, crowd participation and a celebrated international band featuring australian drummer, cuban percussionist, russian trumpeters and the brazilian brothers Johnny and Dom.
JOE KAPLOW
Saturday 9.19.26 - 8:00pm - Tickets
Before I started my career I had a choice: to take over my parent's thoroughbred farm in New Jersey or pursue music full time in California and relinquish the farm to sale. I still wonder what life would have looked like had I stayed, but who can resist the gold rush? Besides, I plan to get back there one day on another farm with some other red barn.
​
My music comes from life’s moments -- smelling 4 acres of freshly cut grass, watching the steam from a horse's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after holding bridles and worn wooden handles all day. 4000 acres of freshly burnt wildfire, watching the steam from the Pacific Ocean's breath in the early morning, finally holding the neck of my guitar after clutching the worn steering wheel of the tour van all day.
​
Now my reality is in Bonny Doon, CA, where mountains meet the sea. I am in my recording studio, aptly named Hippie Cowboy, every day. Slow and steady; keep it fun, stay engaged. All for the moment when the song finally sounds right. My dad passed away a couple years ago -- his bullwhip is on the wall, his Harley is in the driveway. He visits me in dreams, and oh, the moment I wake up! Sometimes I write for him. Sometimes for my mom, who I hope will move out to California soon. Maybe she could volunteer at an equestrian center...
