It’s time for Maha Festival 15!

Excited to be at the Riverfront today for Pixies, Band of Horses, Silversun Pickups, Little Brazil, Waxahatchee and the rest!

See you there?

Bob Mould’s band is amazing. Jason Narducy. Jon Wurster.

Wurster may just have the record for Waiting Room performances. (Mould, Superchunk, Mountain Goats, etc.)

The Waiting Room is hot. Heard they turned off the AC to help Bob Mould’s voice.

Sold out show for Bob Mould and Craig Finn! Packed house at The Waiting Room.
