Current Joys w/ Surly, Life After Mars
March 28, 2018 @ 8:00 PM - 11:00 PM • $8.50
Tickets $8 at the door!
Current Joys is the solo project of Nevada-born ex-Reno songwriter Nick Rattigan, now located in Los Angeles. In addition to drumming/singing in (one of) our all time favorite local bands, Surf Curse, Nick has been releasing a prolific catalog of heart-wrenching no wave ballads via Bandcamp under a handful of names (including The Nicholas Project and Tele/Visions), that have been breaking our hearts for years. Now under the moniker Current Joys, he’s dropping a new album called A Different Age, documenting the process of making art and the desire to create it sincerely in an era fraught with extreme irony, apathy, and nostalgia. If we know anything about Nick’s writing, we’ll be in tears about 30 seconds into the first song, and we can’t wait. If you haven’t seen Current Joys as a full band, you’re in for a real treat. This is gonna be something else. Joining for the night, Surly is the solo endeavor of Erin Miller, making pop-tinged heartbreaking punk ballads about all the ways life, love, friendship and everything that comes with it can tear you apart.
