About this Event
Cheekface is an indie rock trio, more precisely a talk-singing band, from Los Angeles.
The story starts in 2017. Things were getting pretty crappy on Earth. Indie rock lifers Greg and Mandy got together to write out the anxiety, despair and the bleak humor of it all. They sent the demos to Echo and, voila, a band.
It wasn't a project that started with much ambition: the idea was to drop a record on Bandcamp and call it a day. But in 2018, the band's second single "Dry Heat/Nice Town," a playful pub rock tune about leftist protest culture, started to snowball online. A word-of-mouth cult started to form, and it intensified with Cheekface's community-minded singalong shows. Fans dubbed themselves "Cheek Freaks."
The band chased their 2019 debut LP "Therapy Island" with 2021's "Emphatically No," which bowed as Bandcamp's top-selling alternative album. Their 3rd LP "Too Much to Ask" in 2022 was a watershed moment: it shot to #2 on the non-commercial radio chart, and The Needle Drop proclaimed it one of the year's best albums. Cheekface's 4th album "It's Sorted" came out January 22, 2024. Touring to support "It's Sorted," the band sold out shows across the US, Canada and the UK.
