Guiding you to uncharted peaks of happiness, here is Mt. Joy.

The tang of fall is in the air, though the days are dressed for summer. I missed Frankie and the Witch Fingers when they were in town a couple of months ago due to work travel, and I was supremely bummed, as their particular take on electropunk is right in my wheelhouse. Tonight’s selection is a weird little experimental number from their latest release, which I highly recommend.
Mind your fingers when Surprise Chef is in the kitchen, because the knives are sharp and the burners are hot.
With a name that’s quite topical, Ilegales are here to make fresh trouble.
Every early June, I’ll hit the first day of the year where it’s still light when I get to the radio station. It’s a few weeks before summer officially begins, but it always feel like the starting gun for the season. Tonight! We start out with Mhaol, who would just as easily cut you as they would kiss you, and proceed from there.
Enjoy a small slice of tragic beauty in the form of Nell Smith, whose musical instincts reach well beyond her perpetually young voice. Tonight I had to park down the block, as The Sauce Boss was visiting the Radio Room all the way from my old Florida stomping grounds.
Very carefully constructed selection of cavernous compositions studded with a grandiose feel, fine detail, and moody lyrics.
Solid collection of guitar-forward indie rock.
