Kiss the Tiger

At a time when the world seems intent on pushing us further inward and further apart, Kiss the Tiger are here to rattle our bones and bust us out of our cocoons with some good old fashioned rock and roll.

Fronted by the magnetic and disarming Meghan Kreidler, who draws on her background in theater to break the fourth wall between audience and band with her righteous fist pumps and high kicks, this is a band that doesn’t just play. They combust. And watching them set the stage ablaze, it’s hard not to feel that tension that’s been built up in all of us these past few years slowly release, too, like a collective exhale set to ratcheting guitars, buoyant bass lines and Kreidler’s perfectly pitched screams. Theirs is a clean-burning fire. Hell, you might even call it healing.


BUKO BUKO

BUKO BUKO means “young coconut” in Tagalog and is a nod to the singer’s half-Filipino heritage. The spicy-sweet punk band was born out of a rebellion against soggy, serious punk. BUKO BUKO live shows are an experience to laugh, dance, and mosh. They don bright colors and cheap wigs, feed fans gummy worms, and get the crowd moshing to songs like “Spaghetti Time.” BUKO BUKO’s debut album, titled All You Can Eat, was released this year as a labor of love (literally) to "bring feral joy to the mosh pit."

Suppai Helwa

Suppai (Sue-pie) Helwa (Hell-wah) is a queer trans rock band from Baltimore with a punky attitude to boot. They love getting silly, being loud and making people move. They dream of one day playing in a Taco Bell parking lot.
