The Pretty Graves w/ Justice Cow & Second Skin

Catch The Pretty Graves, Justice Cow, and Second Skin live! From raw analog art-rock and cathartic indie pop to brooding darkwave, these acts deliver unforgettable live sets.

The Pretty Graves

Connecticut’s The Pretty Graves is an underground art-rock and indie quartet that channels the raw, unrefined dynamism of classic alternative acts like The Velvet Underground and Pavement. Composed of singer-songwriter Christopher M. Listorti, lead guitarist Hollis Dunlap, drummer Glen Metcalfe, and bassist Mike Pace, the group champions an authentic, fuzzed-out aesthetic recorded straight to analog reel-to-reel tape. Melding soul-baring lyricism and deadpan vocal delivery with infectious melodic harmonies, their sonic footprint is fully realized on their 2026 self-titled debut album released via their independent label, L'Appel Du Vide Des Disques. Bridging the musical landscapes between New York City and Boston with standout singles like "Bending Reeds" and "Walkin'", the band continues to cement their status as a deeply compelling fixture in the New England DIY circuit.

Justice Cow

Justice Cow is the musical project of multi-instrumentalist, songwriter, and Berklee College of Music alumna Jessica Kion, based in the New England indie circuit. Spanning the margins of sparkling folk, progressive indie pop, and explosive rock, the project is known for delivering raw, unflinching vulnerability and complex arrangements alongside a recurring rotation of prominent regional collaborators—including producer Bradford Krieger, Ben Levin, and saxophonist Tyler Brasch. Recording frequently at Rhode Island's Big Nice Studio, Justice Cow has garnered critical underground acclaim for building deeply human connections out of intense thematic concepts, most notably captured on her poignant, cathartic 2023 LP my dad died and her collaborative 2025 release The Horror Sits Better When It's Blurry.

Second Skin

Hailing from the coastal music scenes of Southeastern Connecticut, Second Skin is an atmospheric darkwave and post-punk band known for their brooding, cinematic intensity. The group has rapidly established a distinct presence within the New England DIY circuit by pairing haunting, echo-laden vocal melodies with sharp, driving basslines and precise rhythms. Frequently sharing local bills at regional underground hubs with shoreline peers like Believe It, It's Easy, they seamlessly bridge the gap between classic gothic rock aesthetics and modern alternative songwriting. Delivering magnetic, high-energy live performances, Second Skin continues to carve out a compelling, shadowy niche in the regional independent landscape.
