julie, October 20
This is an exciting time of year for one thing only: It’s when all the cool fall shows start to get announced, and the autumn concert calendar starts to sparkle and shine. The latest entry to be highlighted in bright yellow marker comes from julie, the Los Angles alt-rock band and art collective that will likely be your new fave thing ever with one easy listen to shadow-roar new single “clairbourne practice.” After touring with Faye Webster and Alex G this summer, julie set off on a headlining North American run that plays Boston’s Paradise Rock Club on October 20. Debut album my anti-aircraft friend hits September 13 via Atlantic Records, and things should only accelerate from there. The pitch copy sums it up: “For listeners who came of age amidst global pandemics, tumultuous political climates, and a host of looming natural and social crises, the sound of a band like julie could equally be a cathartic escape, or a shelter in which to locate a better sense of self-acceptance in a precarious world.” Tickets go on sale Friday (July 19) at 10 a.m. local time.
