Converse Free Concert: tUne-YaRdS’ Lo-Fi Indie | Mission Dist.

Submitted by the Event Organizer

Merrill Garbus has performed as tUnE-yArDs since 2009, and that band name has always been synonymous with forward movement—whether because of her explosive performance style or the always-surprising way in which her songs unfold.

Free, but an RSVP is required for priority.
RSVPs are sold out, but you might still get tickets at the door if you get there early and are patient. The policy is one-in-one-out with priority given to RSVPs.

First gaining notice with the debut BiRd-BrAiNs, which The New York Times called “a confident do-it-yourselfer’s opening salvo: a staticky, low-fi, abrasive attention-getter,” Garbus forged a reputation as a formidable live presence through relentless touring. In 2011, tUnE-yArDs released its second album, w h o k i l l, a startling and sonically adventurous statement that led to a whirlwind period where Garbus and bassist Nate Brenner accrued accolades from critics (including the #1 spot on the Village Voice’s 2011 Pazz and Jop poll), performed in front of increasing numbers of rapturous crowds around the world, and collaborated with the likes of Yoko Ono and Questlove.

Also featuring DJ Yalls and The Tambo Rays
