QUEERING SOUND: This Could Go Boom! Showcase - Ammonite / Druid Stone / grlztoy / Manners Manners / The Timber Bridges

Sunday June 1 * 7pm * $15-20 * TICKETS

Queering Sound is excited to once again be teaming up with This Could Go Boom! to present this women-, trans- and gender queer-fronted showcase of awesome local talent!

Ammonite debuted on The National Museum of Women in the Arts “The Tea” program in late 2022 and launched themselves into a busy inaugural year that included The Fort Reno Concert Series, features on Bandcamp and Country Queer, and headlining Frederick Pride.  Characterized by surprising harmonies, sharp songwriting, and fierce genre-bending, the power trio melds an edgy 90s/00s grit with the jangle and twang of classic country revival and queer confessional songwriting that pours out onstage as an authentic and dynamic live show. Ammonite has charted at number one on AltQ Radio, has played the National Cherry Blossom Festival, MidMountain Murder Ballad festival, Takoma Park Folk Festival and contributed a Fire Party track to Yesterday and Today:DC does Dischord. 

Druid Stone was born under the influence of bad drugs and illegal behavior in Fall of 2011. In the present day, we are the singular purveyors of transexual torture music. Doom rock gone wild? Come see for yourself – if you dare….

Manners Manners is a queer, noise pop band from Baltimore, MD.  J Pinder sings & plays the guitar, H.S. Sweet sings & plays the drums, Jes Welter plays the bass & makes other sounds.
