GROCERY BAG w/ GUESTS

The Cobalt presents a night of heavy, fuzzed-out rock and neo-dance psychedelia with four acts bringing it loud.

Grocery Bag (Austin, TX)

A psych-garage-punk four-piece out of Austin, Texas with a reputation for face-melting live shows and a DIY ethos to match. Hand-picked by Osees and Frankie & The Witch Fingers to support, and fresh off a set at Levitation Festival, Grocery Bag are the real deal. Loud, raw, and built for a room that wants to move.

Gadfly (Vancouver, BC)

Fronted by Iranian-born guitarist and vocalist Homa Khoshnavaz, Gadfly is one of Vancouver's most singular bands, blending doom metal, hardcore punk, and Persian melody into something that defies easy categorization. Georgia Straight cover artists, Exclaim! alumni, and Sled Island veterans, they've shared stages with Mudhoney and built a reputation for hypnotic, politically charged live sets.

Wack (Vancouver, BC)

A five-piece neo-dance psychedelia band from Vancouver chasing the infectious groove usually found at underground raves and after-hours clubs. Taking cues from club DJs, Wack have crafted their live set to keep the floor moving from start to finish.

Witiko (Vancouver, BC)

Existential grunge punk with a soft side. Witiko spans surf warmth and grunge abrasion across a setlist built on lifelong musical chemistry, with lyrics rooted in Indigenous identity and existential dread. Their debut LP A Century of Sleep dropped in November 2024.

Monday June 29. Doors 7PM. $15 advance, $20 at the door. No one turned away for lack of funds.
