The Tubs: October 15, 2026 Tubby’s
The Tubs at Tubby’s. It was inevitable. It was also WELL worth the wait. This was the first show on The Tub’s tour supporting their truly excellent “Hard Life” (Merge). For the next month, they will be crisscrossing the US and Canada, bringing their high-energy blend of…

Silk Fence: October 7, 2026 Tubby’s
Silk Fence’s debut album was released less than a week ago and they got to celebrate by playing a 3 show run with Horse Lords and we were lucky enough to catch one! Silk Fence is a project that fuses minimalism, jazz, kosmische repetition into a tightly coherent package of…

Hour: September 11, 2026 Tubby’s
I had never heard of Hour before this performance. I came to see Thor & Friends and was greeted with what seemed to be an unusually large band setting up. The woodwind player, Keith, came over and we got chatting. He explained that the ensemble was the brainchild of composer…

Memorials: September 3, 2026 Tubby’s
The show bill called Memorials “The UK’s finest psych Prog Folk Electronic Duo”. Any of those identifiers is accurate, but so are all of them. Hailing from Canterbury, there is certainly a nod to that town’s glorious Prog past, but with so much more on top. The idea of “Soft…

Cheater Slicks: August 5, 2026 Tubby’s
Not many bands can brag that Mudhoney covered one of their songs on record. But Cheater Slicks, who have been no-so-quietly slinging garage-sludge tunes since the late 80s, reached immortality in 1998 when Mudhoney covered “Ghost” on Tomorrow Hit Today. Now approaching 40 years…

Sunburned Hand of the Man: August 5, 2026 Tubby’s
Our coverage of Sunburned Hand of the Man shows now spans almost twelve years—a small fraction of the band’s thirty-plus years spent freaking out anyone who may have wandered into a show unprepared. In that time, we’ve seen many iterations of the band, the personnel being as…

Silver Triplets of the Rio Hondo: June 2, 2026 Tubby’s Kingston, NY
One of my least favorite things about being the “music guy” in various circles is when I have to try to explain what something sounds like. When you talk with other obsessives, it’s easier; you can talk about specific moments on obscure records or eras of labels to evoke an idea…

M. Geddes Gengras: July 2, 2026 Tubby’s Kinston, NY
M. Geddes Gengras is a musical polymath. Maybe you know him from his time with Akron/Family. Or maybe from his work with The Congos. Or maybe you’ve seen him DJing. Or maybe…you get the idea. He is always around doing something. But tonight we got to see him just be Ged. This…

The Messthetics with James Brandon Lewis: May 4, 2026 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)
Picture courtesy of Nico11104 The Messthetics are, in theory, a jazz band. The center of the band consists of Joe Lally on Bass and Brendan Canty on drums. I’m not going to lean too heavily into the whole Fugazi thing; that’s on you to already know, but I will say that any…

Doug Shaw: January 14, 2023 Tubby’s (Kingston, NY)
I first met Doug Shaw on May 13, 2022, when he played Tubby’s on a bill with Prison and Weak Signal. It takes something special to play solo, introspective acoustic guitar music in a room full of people there to see massive, overdriven, electric guitar music from the likes of…
