We recently mentioned that The Hotelier are going on a big tour that includes a FREE NYC show on Sunday afternoon (8/16) at Brooklyn Flea (50 Kent) with Little Big League singer Michelle Zauner’s solo project Japanese Breakfast and special guests. Turns out the guests are Boston indie pop band Bent Shapes. RSVP is still open.
If it surprises you that an indie pop band is opening for an emo/pop punk band, you should read Impose‘s lengthy, interesting Bent Shapes profile which points out singer Ben Potrykus used to be in Punk Goes Pop contributors Fake ID (with members who formed Boys Like Girls) and was the original lead vocalist in The Receiving End of Sirens. The more you know.
Bent Shapes have other dates coming up too, including a return to NYC on October 11 at Cake Shop. No advance tickets at the moment. All dates are listed below.
The Hotelier‘s tour also includes a run with Tiny Engines labelmates Runaway Brother, which hits NYC on November 7 at The Studio at Webster Hall with Oso Oso and Spirit of the Beehive. Tickets for that one are still available.
Tour dates and some music from the bands, below…
