June 2022: Flobots with Josie Dunne and Stroke 9
Flobots • Josie Dunne • Stroke 9
Lineup
Flobots
Flobots are the Denver band that turned a viral hit, "Handlebars," into a whole career of conscience-driven alt-hip-hop and rock. Built on live instruments, a violin out front, and lyrics that actually have something to say, their shows are part concert, part call to action. Smart, urgent, and impossible to file under one genre.
Josie Dunne
Josie Dunne makes retro-leaning pop with a soul streak and a songwriter's sharpness, all bright melodies and old-school warmth filtered through a modern ear. Charismatic and effortlessly fun on stage, she is the kind of opener who turns a room from milling to dancing before the headliner ever loads in.
Stroke 9
Stroke 9 rode the turn-of-the-millennium alt-rock wave with the radio staple "Little Black Backpack," and the hooks have not dulled a bit. Their set is a guitar-pop time machine in the best way, tight, punchy, and built for singing along. A fun, nostalgic jolt of late-90s energy.
