Sydney's Little May is an all-girls band: Annie Hamilton, Liz Drummond and Hannah Field. In only a year, the trio managed to stream over 2 million Soundcloud plays, 3 million Spotify streams, and highly endorsed by Triple J, BBC Radio 1, and Mojo Magazine... the latter declaring "The Australian intricate, dramatic harmonic pop proves appropriately ornate on this soaring yet engagingly earthy first album".

New York alternative pop quintet MisterWives will be in town as part of their "Scrapbook Tour".

The band recently earned their first RIAA gold plaque for the hit single “Reflections,” which accumulated over 500,000 digital downloads and streams since its release last year.

As one of 2015’s breakout acts (who we previously wrote about in 2013), they landed at #1 on Billboard’s Emerging Artist Chart and even garnered an “Artist to Watch” nomination at the mtvU Woodie Awards.

The Scrapbook Tour will also feature Waters and Cruisr. The former opened up for Matt & Kim earlier in May 2015.

Please note: This all-ages show will likely start at 6pm, with doors opening at 5pm.

Shook Twins

Shook Twins are an Indie folk-pop band from Portland, Oregon, featuring identical twins Katelyn and Laurie Shook, with Kyle Volkman and Niko Daoussis.


TALL HEIGHTS

at Aster Café

Tuesday, 10/27/2015, 8pm ($10)

astercafe.com

Boston's Tall Heights is Tim Harrington and Paul Wright. The duo is currently touring in support of their new EP Holding On, Holding Out.

The tour will take them to November, where they meet up with Shook Twins.

The two are no strangers to the harsh touring grind, having played over 300 shows between 2013 and 2014, opening up for such established acts as The Wood Brothers, Wild Child, Laura Marling and Ben Sollee.

NOTE: Oddly enough the Aster Café website also lists 10/22 as a Tall Heights show... but I'm assuming that is an error as they're listed to play Goshen, Indiana that same evening.

10/21 – The Ark (Ann Arbor, MI)

10/22 – Ignition Garage (Goshen, IN)

10/23 - Cafe Carpe (Ft. Atkinson, WI)
