Levitt AMP Columbia Music Series: Molly Martin with Homemade Haircuts
Advertisement
Join us for a free outdoor concert on the Koger Center Plaza Stage as part of the Levitt AMP Columbia Music Series, presented by the Koger Center!
Molly Martin’s debut album Mary released January 2023 is cheeky indie rock reminiscent of early Smashing Pumpkins, Land of Talk, and the attitude of the Pretenders. It’s music that pretends to not care about your feelings but really does. It’s a spotlight on the honest truth of Molly’s experience before and after quitting drinking; an 8-song inquiry into self-discovery. Molly’s birth name is Mary, and each track feels like a different aspect of the intersection between a buttoned-up Mary and a buttoned-down Molly. Something is bound to resonate, and that’s the point.
This concert features an opening act from Homemade Haircuts. Homemade Haircuts is a four-piece indie rock outfit from Columbia, South Carolina. Originally a bedroom recording project, the group has developed its effervescent live sound through years of touring the Southeast.
After years of connecting with audiences through their earnest rock songs, the band is adopting a brash new persona. The band’s new single, “Clown”, veers away from their usual brand of melancholy, instead wryly weaving together societal observations with flatulence jokes and circus tropes. Musically, the band is opting for bolder sounds and crisper production than ever, largely thanks to the influence of producer Tommy Trautwein. “Clown” is a response to the naysayers of the world, and a proclamation of the unorthodox confidence necessary to chase one’s dreams.
