Recent Future
For one night only, Recent Future transforms The Green Room into a dance floor for the doomed and the dreamers. Experience the band live as their music videos engulf the room in flickering fantasies, blurring the lines between the concert you’re watching and the world they’re building. Memphis favorites General Labor will start the night off.
Memphis-based Charlie Davis (Trash Goblin, Detachment Kit) and David Johnson (James and the Ultrasounds, Tall David) met in Governor's School for the Arts in 1998. Their decades' long friendship, fueled by late-night jams and hangouts, resulted in the creation of Recent Future. As the concept took root during the pandemic, their ideas reflected the world's uncertainty and upheaval, mixed with the personal reflection, anxiety and ultimately, hope, of new fathers. Their respective artistic mindsets meld into bleeding-edge synth punk that’s simultaneously danceable yet doom-laden. Vinyl release to follow later this year via Red Curtain Records.
“Ardent, Uncompromising, Danceable electro-clash doom dance, Synth punk, Powerful and assured, Insightful” - Liz Lane (DJ Modern Girl WEVL)
General Labor
The beauty of General Labor is that they’re impossible to pin down. As they prepare their third official album Production Metrics, General Labor have found themselves blending industrial, coldwave, and punk into a mix with no easy reference points. Advance singles like “Strays” and “Death Comes Knocking” follow the band’s dual 2024 releases, Galaxy Motors and The Airtight Garage, which both proffered their own rebalancing of the sonic mix that lives at the heart of General Labor’s music. These tracks, along with reconstructions of underground hits like “Ghost Rider” and “Eisbär,” offer new glimpses into the band’s synthetic-meets-organic ethos. Together, Thomas Corbin, Elijah Poston, and Mitch Mealer’s music serves as a response to the technological hellscape that eats at all of us. Humanity is always at the heart of General Labor, even when it’s obscured by stabbing synths and gnarled rebar percussion.
