FRIDAY, MARCH 28 — PAPA PETE’S
Doors at 7PM | Music at 8PM
$10 Cover | 21+ with valid ID
Join us at Papa Pete’s for a night that swings from fuzzed-out chaos to cathartic dance cries and back again.
Katy Needs A Life (solo)
Sad-pop in its most distilled form. Think emotional rollercoaster, but the safety bar is glittery and you’re somehow dancing through the tears. For this special solo set, expect raw honesty, synth-soaked feelings, and melodies that stick to your ribs.
Check them out: https://katyneedsalife.bandcamp.com/music
Neighborhood Strays
This Churubusco, IN trio blends punk, emo, and alternative rock into a power pop package that hits hard and hugs harder. Big hooks, bigger feelings, and the kind of songs you’ll shout along to by the second chorus.
Check them out: https://neighborhoodstrays.bandcamp.com/music
Tobacco Justice
Midwest pop-punk straight out of Grand Rapids. Fast, loud, and unapologetic, they bring that gritty basement-show energy to the stage — the kind that makes you want to move whether you planned to or not.

The Sabbatical
Brand new to the Kalamazoo scene and already making noise. Self-described as “fuzzed-out bops brought to you by your favorite ex couple Vee and Jack with bombtastic percussion by Braydon.” Translation: thick tones, tangled chemistry, and rhythms that don’t quit.

$10 gets you in.
7PM doors. 8PM music.
Bring your ID. Bring your friends. Bring your unresolved feelings.
