Lady Pills
When and Where: Saturday, July 30 at 7:55 p.m. at The Crystal Ballroom.
Band Bio: Boston-based songwriter Ella Boissonnault (she/her), a.k.a. Lady Pills, spent the first half of her 20s figuring out that soft is strong and honesty isn’t rude, and now she’s ready to share that revelation with the world. What I Want, her new album, came out on February 11 on Plastic Miracles — the label started and run by Elise Okusami from Oceanator.
Fun Fact: “I belch at least 3x per set and I’m really good at sneaking them in the mic when there’s a drum hit.”
