VUNDABAR

Vundabar is a Boston-based indie rock trio whose records have quietly built a devoted following through a combination of angular guitar work, unexpected song structures, and hooks that arrive before the listener knows they're coming. Albums like Smell Smoke (2015), Gawk (2017), and their subsequent work have made them a fixture in the independent touring circuit — a band that rewards repeat listening in a way that makes the live experience feel like discovering something you already know.

The Masquerade on June 9 is the right size room for Vundabar: small enough that the band's dynamic range lands without getting lost, large enough that the crowd energy has somewhere to go.
