The Shondes, Outersea, Imaginary Tricks, Smokey DeRoeck
Sunday, Mar. 12 @ The World Famous
New York punks The Shondes are no strangers to activism, having long used their music and platform to advocate for issues like expanding LGBT rights and ending the occupation of Palestine, a stance that opened the all-Jewish group—whose name means “the shames” in Yiddish—to criticism from pro-Israel peers. The Shondes filter these heady directives through highly personal, highly groove-able pop-punk anthems, as heard on the band’s latest, last year’s Brighton. The Shondes made local news last fall, when sexist comments allegedly made to them by Team Clermont co-founder Nelson Wells inspired staffers of the Athens music-publicity firm to resign en masse.
