There will be a photo booth by Annick Sjobakken, so come in your best skate/music show attire. Doors will open at 8:45, tickets are $18 in advance/ $22 day-of-show. Ages 18 and older, or younger teens must be accompanied by an adult.

Lady Revel: As a group they’ve been many things but Lady Revel in their purest form is a Midwestern indie rock band unapologetic about their preference for pop hooks. They’ve entered a new era with an album closer than ever to their hearts, working with veteran indie musician and producer Scott Yoshimura. They strive to bring all of themselves to their music and want everyone to meet them there. It’s a place to be in love and to break up, to laugh and to cry, to believe and to doubt, and above all, to belong.
