🦇 Sunday October 18th @offbeatbarla 🦇 Baltimore’s 🦇 Sunday October 18th @offbeatbarla 🦇 Baltimore’s @quattracenta will be in LA on their first west coast tour hot on the heels of their album III, produced by J Robbins (Jawbox). “Drawing on elements of post-punk, no wave, dub, and psychedelia, Quattracenta’s moody, genre-expansive music echoes influences like Slint, Earth, PJ Harvey, and The Birthday Party, anchored by Matas’ yearning guitar and lyrical meditations on mortality, and framed by Sturgis’ distorted, writhing bass lines and Shearer’s spacious, minimalist drumming. Together, Quattracenta establishes a riveting and dramatic atmosphere on every stage they occupy.“ With @red_rot_band LA-based anarcho librarian punk @riproom Three piece San Francisco art-punk Poster by @ohlousy
