Vundabarw/ Thomas Thomas& Mom WeedWinterruption YEG 2024, All Ages/ Early ShowDoors at 6pm, Show at 6:30pmThe Starlite RoomFriday Jan 26 2024Vundabar is a Boston-based trio that delivers jangly, fuzzed-out math-and surf-tingedindie rock shot through with plenty of post-punk spirit. Formed in 2013 byvocalist/guitarist Brandon Hagen and drummer Drew McDonald while still in high school, the duo eventually recruited bassist Zack Abramo and began playing locally. Sporting a melody-rich blend of knotty folk and loud-soft-loud indie rock la Beantown luminaries Pixies, Vundabar issued their debut album, Antics, in late 2013. They adopted a grittier tone on 2015s Gawk, which added grungy post-punk to the mix. The cathartic and dense Smell Smoke arrived in 2018, delivering an earworm-heavy set that was both bracing and sincere, and in 2020 the trio released the tight and succinct Either Light, which saw them working with a producer, Patrick Hyland (Mitski), for the first time. In 2021, online snippets of fans singing along to the groups 2015 single Alien Blues flooded social media, which garnered millions of streams for the seven-year-old cut. Devil for the Fire, Vundabars wide-ranging fifth studio effort, appeared the following year.For more information, please visit: www.winterruptionyeg.com
