Rosie Tucker w/ Circling Girl

Lost Lake presents Rose Tucker with Circling Girl on Tuesday, April 30th.Rosie Tucker is a born songwriter, an evocative vocalist, an accomplished rock instrumentalist, and a funny gender-queer art weirdo serving up truly fresh indie rock with an ear for the long queer lineage of politically conscious singer-poets like The Indigo Girls, Ani Difranco, Tracy Chapman, and Glenn Copeland. The songs that make up Tucker’s fourth LP, Utopia Now! are career-defining, aiming to make a watermark high above most every other songwriter in their genre. The album comes out on March 22 via Sentimental Records. Written solely by Tucker (with the exception of “Eternal Life”, a cover of an evocative recent Numero Group unearthing) and produced entirely by Tucker and longtime collaborator Wolfy, this most recent effort is both a homespun labor of love and a hi-fi, creatively ambitious swing for the fences. Recorded at their home studio in Altadena in between walking the dog and watching campy art films, Tucker’s latest album is a beautiful snapshot in time, a picture of healing from the isolation of both the global pandemic and the atomization of artists. Utopia Now! rejects the idea that success means endless expansion, so perhaps it’s fitting that the artist was reckoning with their own professional setbacks simultaneous to its production. One album into their three-album deal, Tucker was unceremoniously dropped from Epitaph Records. A Friday afternoon email let them know they were newly independent. But like all good breakups, being dropped only brought Tucker closer to what they’ve always wanted: the confidence to move freely and creatively. What does an artist’s career look like in 2024? What can it look like? Rosie Tucker is finding out. And not killing themself doing it.- 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian

Zzzahara w/ YES BABY

Lost Lake Presents Zzzahara with Yes Baby on Sunday, March 17 — For most of their life, Zzzahara has been looking backward. Raised in LA’s Highland Park neighborhood, their debut album, Liminal Spaces, confronted the changes the community has endured since Zzzahara’s childhood. That sense of loss, coupled with the persistent memories of a painful coming-of-age, led to many late night parties and an avoidant relationship with self-reflection. Liminal Spaces chronicled that ache, but these days, Zzzahara isn’t looking backward much – they’re not even looking forward. They’re just trying to be here, in the moment, as present as possible. Zzzahara’s sophomore album, Tender, released via Lex Records, documents a period of transition following a devastating breakup. Instead of crumbling, Zzzahara began to look inward by meditating and practicing mindfulness. “If I had to describe what my life is like now, I’d say ‘consistent.’ I’m trying to be consistent with everything I do.” Consistency requires tenderness, a willingness to cradle the soft parts of yourself that often go unnoticed. To make Tender, they locked themselves in their studio and subsisted on cold brew for nine to ten hours a day. To most, this sounds nightmarish, but the monastic experience gave Zzzahara a sense of total control over the output. “I learned so much making my first record and I wanted this one to prove that.” Tender thrives on the intimacy created in a home studio. While Tender can largely be considered a guitar rock album, opener “Dust” is a laconic song reminiscent of a mournful 1950s waltz, while the ebullient lead single “Kensington” sounds-off to the sparkling synths employed by the Cure. The immediacy of these pop songs doesn’t detract from the sincerity of Zzzahara’s lyrics. The dazzling guitar part heard on “Girls on SSRIs Don’t Cry” might hide the song’s pathos momentarily, but the chorus is an open-hearted plea to an ex. As its title purports, Tender is a sincere album, but that doesn’t stop Zzzahara, as they put it, letting their “asshole side loose.” It’s easy to recognize the faults in others, less so in yourself. On Tender, Zzzahara is unafraid of the world seeing theirs. YES BABY is spectral pastoral dreampop. An unhinged affection defines their sultry, aching, and dissonant shoegaze sound. Their dreampop wash will overpower and transport you to a haunted small town through a tunnel of love. Will you ever return?   – 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian

Night Cap w/ Savanna Leigh

Lost Lake Presents Night Cap with Savanna Leigh on Thursday, March 21st. Night Cap is an indie rock band, born and raised in Austin, Texas. Soon after the band’s formation in 2017, they became known for their now signature sound – rife with emotional builds, feel-good melodies, and just the right touch of nostalgia – as their debut single ‘Everest’ quickly amassed over 1 million streams. What has followed has been festival plays at Austin City Limits Luck Reunion, and Floatfest, an Audiotree recording in Chicago, dozens of sold out shows across Night Cap’s native Texas, and a slew of releases, highlighted by recent singles ‘Sentimental’, ‘Eileen’, and ‘Glimpse’, that have racked up 7 million streams across the band’s catalogue. With their dynamic style and engaging live performances, Night Cap has developed a knack for winning over audiences across Texas and beyond. The pairing of Ryan King and Jake Bomgaars, the band’s guitar-wielding vocalist duo, demonstrate a harmonic compatibility that feels as natural as it is captivating, delivering thoughtful lyricism and snappy choruses alongside bandmates Alex Alfonso (bass), Adrian Ayala (keys), and Stijn Dobbelaere (drums). After a run of collaborations and performances alongside heavy-hitting acts such as Dayglow, Briston Maroney, slenderbodies, Wilderado, Mt. Joy, and most recently, Krooked Kings, Night Cap has turned all focus towards the completion of their debut album, set for release in spring 2024.   – 16+, under 16 admitted with ticketed guardian
