Tooth Fest

It’s not quite outdoor festival season yet, although we’re getting there. Nevertheless, seven acts are on the bill for an indoor afternoon mini-fest organized by local label Sweet Tooth Tapes. Skewing towards lo-fi and bedroom indie, the show features four local bands Beverly Tender, Lookers, boring, and Rence Boat, as well as touring acts Spencer Radcliffe (Chicago), skirts (Dallas), and Wished Bone (LA). Of the bands I don’t already know, I’m most intrigued by the vaguely twee Wished Bone and RISD four-piece boring, whose seven-track demo is reminiscent of late nineties college radio. According to the poster, Creeps Jerks and Phobes are encouraged to stay home.
