This Event is General Admission - Standing Room Only Doors open at 7pm Event starts at 8pm MICHELLE's first project of buoyant R&B tracks was an ode to New York City, the city where all 6 members of the band grew up. But amid the success of that project, 2018's HEATWAVE, and 2022's AFTER DINNER WE TALK DREAMS, they left home and broadened their perspective. The band traveled across the U.S. and Europe opening for Gus Dapperton, Arlo Parks, and Mitski, headlining their own shows, and playing festivals. While writing their new album, Songs About You Specifically, MICHELLE decided to rent out a house in Ojai, California. Surrounded by lizards, the smell of ripe cactus fruit, and endless expanses of sand, they experienced a sense of solitude and closeness they hadn't before. It shifted the tone of their work. While their earlier music channeled the churning restlessness of the city, these new songs meander and expand into starry shoegaze reveries, slick funk riffs, and lilting 80s synth pop. Their newfound closeness also helped them write more vulnerable music. On Songs About You Specifically, the band members express their complicated desires, voice their regrets, and own up to their moments of selfishness. By slowing down, cutting out any distractions, and fostering a sense of communal closeness that necessitated honesty, MICHELLE ended up with a collection of songs that feel like the truth. Presented by Third Man Events. This is an all ages event
