At just $8 for tix ($10 at the door), this show is going to melt faces, blow your mind, hypnotize, and bring magic to the badge-less and budget conscious. So come rock out with Grim Streaker, Native Sun, Lola Pistola, and YAASSS to start your Saturday festivities.
It’s that time of year again when the Northside Festival brings an epic summer week of music and technology to the neighborhood. Our annual official showcase at Bar Matchless (RIP) is not happening since it has closed down but we are super excited that Supercrush has teamed up with our sister site, Brokelyn and put together a dope line up for an official showcase at The Knitting Factory (361 Metropolitan Ave)!
With Grim Streaker, Native Sun, Lola Pistola, and Yaasss there’s going to be a well rounded range of music from noise meets skate goth, loud and melodic indie rock, dream pop and alt-grunge, to kinky glam psych rock.

It’s going to be a star-studded day with live music, free fun activities like massages, rooftop yoga henna, nail art, refreshments and food. Check out the full details of what’s in store here.
