Evil Felipe
When and Where: Saturday, July 30 at 6:30 p.m. at The Rockwell.
Band Bio: Despite the misleading name, Evil Felipe is an all-female group from Central MA, taking on a unique combination of indie, alternative, surf punk and punk rock sounds. Formed back in 2016, the band began with sisters Ella and Maya Staltare along with Emma Bain, and has since expanded to include bass player Abby Rickert.
Fun Fact: “We have a little dinosaur mascot that we put on stage for every show. His name is Tommy, and he’s very excited to sit on stage with us for NICE Fest!”
