It’s a pet benefit! This one’s for Biscuit, wherever you are. That little kitty had a terrible accident that required surgery and needs your help with footing the bill. Luckily, she has some musical friends. The amount of emotion communicated with just some fingers and a guitar seems to always amaze me when in the right hands. Doug Wartman has just the fingers for the job. Soft Fangs calls to mind the dreamier moments of Brian Jonestown Massacre. I will certainly be staring at stars this summer while listening to their most recent, eponymous 7” release. A booming voice and some old rock ’n’ roll arrangements from Lee Preston are a welcome contribution. Someone buy him a drink. Roz Raskin, Saccharine, and Chris O’Toole (Everything and Everyone) love fur and sass too. It’s a bill with six performers! Come out to support a QT. 8pm // 18+ // $5–10 sliding scale
