MONDAY
LIVE MUSIC

Cheekface
Cheekface has been around since 2017, but it was four years later that they really captured the voice of our generation with the song “We Need a Bigger Dumpster.” KEXP wouldn’t stop playing it, and for good reason—its guitar-driven rhythms and tongue-in-cheek lyrics like “I caught a cold / I coughed on all my friends / Now everyone is coughing on everybody else / And we’re coughing on our doctors and our doctors cough out / ‘EVERYTHING IS FINE.'” Equal parts catchy indie rock and social commentary, lead singer Greg Katz’s talk-singing puts the message front-and-center as we bob our heads and smile wryly to the beat in spite of (because of?) existential dread. Hazy bedroom pop artist Yungatita will open this show. SHANNON LUBETICH
