This concert was super awesome! Their new album slaps so hard and their stage presence was so entertaining throughout the entire concert. I got to meet some really cool people while I managed to snag a spot up front and the entire experience was just amazing. Meeting them after the concert was everything I could’ve hoped for, I genuinely didn’t expect them to come out after their performance but they did and each one of them were so nice! It was crazy to talk to Jeremy, Luke, and Brian after being a fan for a few years, they have so many great songs apart from notion and I really hope that people listen to them more! I loved the concert and good luck on your next ones!! (I look disheveled here but mewing with Jeremy was definitely something I didn’t expect to get in camera!)

About The Rare Occasions
The Rare Occasions are an LA-based, New England-bred indie rock band known for their explosive garage rock anthems with catchy vocal harmonies.
Brian McLaughlin (singer) and Luke Imbusch (drummer) have been making music together since their early teenage years. They formed The Rare Occasions while attending college in Boston where they met Jeremy Cohen (bassist). Since then, the band have toured nationally, won the John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and released a vast catalog of music online.
In 2021 the band released their first album as a trio, Big Whoop, which received significant press and radio play. Around the same time, their 2016 track “Notion” went viral on TikTok and continues to make waves, topping Spotify’s viral chart in the US and several other countries, and later landing on Billboard’s alternative charts and top 100 singles charts in the UK, Ireland, and Canada.
They've since released an EP (Nov 2022) and a new single "Black Balloons" in October 2023 marking the start of a new release cycle. The 2nd single, "Darling, The Planets" comes out on April 26th with more to come this year.
