Pretenders
at 7th Street Entry

When it was first announced that the legendary band The Pretenders would be playing the tiny 7th Street Entry, you thought it was a joke. But it turned out that it’s true… the band wanted to play small clubs.

So, yeah, as expected, the show is sold out. And best of all… it’s Chrissie Hynde’ birthday (Sep 7).

The Pretenders’ forthcoming studio album, Relentless will be out September 15th.

Poppy and PVRIS
with Pom Pom Squad
at First Avenue

Internet star Poppy and Massachusetts’ PVRIS are teaming up in a co-headlining Godless / Goddess Tour.

Poppy is touring in support of a forthcoming album Zig, set for release in October 27, 2023, on Sumerian Records.

Poppy (17 Feb 2020)

We previously saw Poppy in Feb 2020 and wrote, “With a male backing band dressed casually all in white, a row of vertical pink neon tubes separating the rhythm section to the back, and a tall mirrored, lighted box framing the petite artist with braided ponytail in a one-shouldered dark ruffled dress, Poppy took to the stage to the opening air raid sirens from the first single from her new record, ‘Concrete’ to begin her sixty-minute headlining set.”

Pvris (31 May 2016)

As for PVRIS, we saw them in May 2016 and said, “The music of PVRIS is extremely unique in a way that makes them fit on every sort of line-up. They have opened up for poppy bands like The Maine and, most recently, they opened up for metalcore act Bring Me The Horizon. Regardless of what genre the headlining act was on their past tours, Pvris was able to stand out and make an impression on the generally young crowds. It was nice to see them headline a show and truly shine through their nearly hour long set.”

Pom Pom Squad (06 Mar 2022)

Also on the bill is Pom Pom Squad, a band that we saw in Mar 2022 and noted, “First on this triple-girls bill was Pom Pom Squad. The band did a cover of Weezer’s “Undone (The Sweater Song)” as their penultimate song. They ended their set with “Be Good”. “
