chokecherry + Pure Hex, Silly Little

About this event

Pulling from essences of their childhoods exposed to rock’n’roll, adolescent years spent exploring 90s post-rock, pop, indie, alt-rock, hardcore, queer musicians, even metal, and their own young adulthood filled with small shows in the Bay Area from a plethora of artists and genres, chokecherry’s debut LP, produced by Chris Coady, Christopher Grant, and Zach Tuch, fearlessly pursues creating a snapshot in time, capturing the sonic culture of San Francisco, the political movements overflowing our senses in 2025, the social deterioration of empathy and humanity in the 21st century, and what it means to be human in a time where it feels like there are so few left; “The album isn’t about heartbreak over an individual – some of it is – but it’s from the state of the world. That’s what it is. It’s about heartbreak over the loss of childhood and the imagined future that you might have had when you were young, because that doesn’t exist. It’s actively been taken away from all of us and everything is being stripped before our very eyes, constantly, every single day,” Scarlett explains. Hailing from the SF Bay Area, Pure Hex blends alternative rock andshoegaze to deliver a haunting take on your favorite 90’s sound,reminiscent of Deftones, The Smashing Pumpkins, and Mazzy Star. In2025, they released Spilling/Five of Tears, a double LP that blends thecatchy and the esoteric, leaning further into their own unique sound.Pure Hex has toured the West Coast and Southwest, and opened forbands like DIIV, Slow Crush, and No Joy. Local support from Silly Little. ALWAYS ALL AGES
