Sept 8th- All Ages
If you’ve studied indie rock history, you already know what Mark and @teenbeat Records (his creation in high school) means, not only to the DC area (Bratmobile, Velocity Girl, Tuscadero, Circus Lupus etc) but the world-wide jangly-pop patchwork.
His bands Grenadine, Air Miami and Flin Flon were always a burst of sunshine and energy round here, and dare we say, Unrest’s “Perfect Teeth” is just that- perfect....go listen to it, for real. We’re going to right now.
A super special upstairs show, tickets are onsale NOW at theottobar.com and fee-free at Ottobar!

On Monday July 13, WTMD presents an intimate free performance and live broadcast with critically acclaimed singer and songwriter Caroline Rose at the storied Baltimore club The Ottobar.
Caroline Rose started their career in the early 2010s writing clever, politically minded folk and Americana music. Since then, they have shape-shifted through various genres, from the synth-heavy, satirical pop-rock of Loner (2018) and Superstar (2020) to the deeply vulnerable, ambient-electronic elements found on The Art of Forgetting (2023). Rose is an outspoken champion of the independent, working-class musician with a commitment to creative independence and fighting exploitative industry practices. Ever playful and experimental, Rose just released, “Yip Yip Yow” (long a live fan favorite), and appears positioned to pounce.
Doors open at 11:30am and the show starts at noon Monday July 13 at The Ottobar, 2549 N. Howard St. in Baltimore. Live Lunches are made possible by WTMD members. Become one now!

You like how I slapped "Another" on there and BOOM I can use the same flier from last time? Work smarter not harder blah blah blah. Also that is a BANGER period specific movie reference, just ask your Gen X Dad who is in the garage crying with the car running, he can explain it.
