Downtown Boys have shows coming up, including Hopscotch in Raleigh and their label Don Giovanni’s New Alternative Music Fest in Asbury Park. Right before NAMF, they’ll play a NYC show on September 16 at The Studio at Webster Hall. Tickets are on sale now. All dates are listed below.

The NYC show is being opened by Sex Stains, the current band of Bratmobile singer Allison Wolfe (also of Cold Cold Hearts, Partyline, and more). The band also includes Mecca Vazie Andrews (who has worked with Daft Punk, Toro y Moi, Marina Abramović and more), David Orlando (who has drummed for Warpaint), Sharif Dumani (who’s played with Cody Chesnutt), and Pachy Garcia. They’re also playing NAMF. They’ve got four songs on Soundcloud, which all kinda hit at the middle point between ’80s post-punk and ’90s riot grrrl. Check them out below.
