Thursday, June 12 Rickshaw Stop + Throwin Bo's + FloodFM co-present OH HE DEAD ADAR (special duo set!) Pateka 7 pm doors $20 adv / $25 doors all ages Washington DC’s Oh He Dead brings their funky, poppy rock vibes wherever they go. Led by CJ Bowlin’ Johnson and her golden pipes, the five-piece group includes lead guitarist Alex Salser, John Daise-on-the-bass (say it outloud), Adam Ashforth on drums, and ViRG on keys. The close-knit crew is known for their contagious joy, and for putting on a hell of a live show as Johnson “maneuvers her powerful voice — a combination of Stevie Nicks and Tracy Chapman” (Kojo Nnamdi) in rhythm with the band’s “sublime instrumentation” (NPR) and “infectious and soulful sound” (Washington Post). Their third album, Ugly is out this spring. ADAR mesmerizes audiences with metaphor, melody, harmony, and rhythm — music that emerges from a deeply interior space in which private meanings become shared experience. Blending and transcending genres, she delivers a silken, yet raw sound that is utterly her own. Hailing from Amherst, MA, ADAR is now based in Oakland. ADAR’s album, Our Animal, is expected to be released in 2025. https://www.instagram.com/adar.radio/ Pateka: https://www.instagram.com/suschords/
