Splitting Image, Operator Music Band, Lisel
2019-07-26 19:00 - 22:00 | Lilypad Inman, 1353 Cambridge St., Cambridge, MA, 02139, United States
RARE SPUNK POP and DIGITIZED POST PUNK. Splitting Image is a soury-sweet outfit of known players in Boston bringing experience, wisdom and absurdity to their glammy spooky synth pop exhibition. They will hold it down for NYCs exceptional Operator Music Band who are actually in fact an incredibly tight band and not perfectly programmed pop music like the album suggests. Lisel, also from LA kicks it off with some light airy-pop but I assure you it will be a disco punk party by the end. In partnership with the best eva Illegally Blind
Thank You by Splitting Image

Kyle craft
2019-07-24 21:00 - 23:00 | Great Scott, 1222 Commonwealth Avenue, Allston, MA, 02134, United States
“There is this curious equilibrium to existence: In order to create balance, the universe must giveth, and the universe must taketh. Kyle Craft, along with his now solidified backing band dubbed Showboat Honey, know this all too well. And this is why their self-titled album, the contemplative yet restless Showboat Honey (Sub Pop Records, July 12th, 2019) reflects that sturm und drang. “This is basically an album centered around bad luck and good fortune hitting at the same time,” Craft explains “Then, out of nowhere, I find love. Everything went to shit except that. I guess that’s how life works.””
