Green Mind 24th Birthday: ADWAITH +The U Club
Feb 22 @ 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm
Green Mind 24th Birthday: ADWAITH +The U Club

Hailing from the Welsh town of Carmarthen, Adwaith grew up surrounded by a rich tradition of Welsh-language indie-rock, and a tight-knit scene of experimental, artistically-minded bands that frequented their beloved local venue The Parrot. Inspired by the lineage of boldly experimental bands that emerged out of Wales in the ‘80s – Datblygu, TraddodiadOfnus and Fflaps to name three groups spearheading new wave Welsh rock music at the time – Adwaith knew that they wanted to be similarly uncompromising in their own vision. When Hollie Singer, Gwenllian Anthony and Heledd Owen first went about founding their own band in 2015, they were also equally influenced by newer acts they’d seen playing at local indie venues and Welsh-Language music festivals, where they bore witness to another new wave of musicians wielding Welsh as an exciting musical instrument.

Now, the dynamic Welsh trio Adwaith proudly announce the release of their highly anticipated third album, Solas. Meaning “light of being” or “enlightenment” in Celtic, Solas marks a significant milestone in the band’s journey. Recorded across diverse locations—including the Outer Hebrides in Scotland, Lisbon in Portugal, and multiple studios in Wales—Solas reflects Adwaith’s growth and evolution as artists. Overflowing with romance and magic, this 23-track double album completes a coming-of-age trilogy chronicling their transformation from teenagers into empowered women, exploring themes of self-discovery, escape, and resilience.

SOLD OUT Green Mind presents CHUCK PROPHET + Our Man in the Field

SOLD OUT Green Mind presents CHUCK PROPHET + Our Man in the Field

For twelve long days, Chuck Prophet waited. A stage four lymphoma diagnosis had knocked the wind out of him, dragged him off the road and into surgery, and now here he was, a perpetual motion machine forced to sit still, confronting his mortality for the first time as he wondered if he’d live long enough to see the end of the year, let alone get back on tour.

“I was going through a tunnel,” he recalls. “It was dark. But I had music: music to play, music to listen to, music to get me out of my head. Music was my saviour.”

That much is plain to hear on “Wake The Dead”, Prophet’s extraordinary – and unlikely – new album. Recorded with Qiensave, a band of brothers from the Central Coast farming community of Salinas, California, the collection dives headfirst into the world of Cumbia music, which consumed and comforted Prophet during his illness and subsequent recovery. The songs are intoxicatingly rhythmic, with arrangements that blur the lines between tradition and innovation, between past and present, between cultures and countries. There are flashes of rock and roll, punk, surf, and soul, all filtered through the streets of San Francisco and wrapped up in the rich legacy of a genre that traces its roots back hundreds of years and thousands of miles.

Crushing Death & Grief present: WOLF EYES
Apr 8 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm

Thrilled to bring psycho jazz titans and contemporary memelords Wolf Eyes back to Cambridge for the first time in nearly two decades.
Now a duo of John Olson and Nate Young, over nearly 30 years Wolf Eyes have laid waste to the American midwest and beyond with a dizzying range of punishing noise, alien soundscapes, warped blues, grindhouse ambient, power psyche, and new age skronk.

Over a crushingly vast discography of lathe cuts, CDrs, handmade tapes, and the occasional “regular” release, they’ve pushed instruments and listeners to the limit, frying circuits and minds in equal, incalculable numbers. Always ingenious, always inscrutable, always revelatory, Wolf Eyes are consistently essential but never predictable. True underground DIY heroes of our age!

Green Mind presents HANNAH LOU CLARK

Green Mind presents HANNAH LOU CLARK

“Within 30 seconds of Clark’s solo set starting, the room was silent. Her voice poured over the gentle dissonance suggested by each chord” The Quietus
Hannah Lou Clark is a songwriter & musician known for her own introspective indie rock, as well as for alt-pop project FOE.

“Her songs nuzzle their way into you. They wander toward you slowly at first but then their hooks cling like cat claws. These are pop songs but with gristle from a grunge-dunked youth. They’re the kinda songs that feel like disembodied dreams in which you’re gazing from the eye of the storm, lost in a drunken twirl that may last a minute or a lifetime.” Drowned in Sound

Having previously toured with the likes of Thurston Moore, Gaz Coombes, and Lonely The Brave, Hannah is back for a very special one off show to celebrate the release of her debut album ‘How To Unlearn Yourself’.

Crushing Death & Grief present: BIG|BRAVE + MJ GUIDER
Apr 22 @ 8:00 pm – 11:00 pm

BIG|BRAVE’s music has been described as massive minimalism. Their fusillades of textural distortion and feedback emphasize their music’s frayed edges as much as its all-encompassing weight. The potency of the trio’s work is their singular artistry combining elements of traditional folk techniques and a modern deconstruction of guitar music. Gain, feedback, and amplitude are essential.

BIG|BRAVE achieve their colossal sound through minimalist approaches, a deft understanding of dynamics and an inventive employment of percussion and distortion. The trio reconceptualize what it is to be heavy or minimal, challenging perceptions with their illumination of painfully overlooked perspectives. BIG|BRAVE’s sound has blossomed, harnessing potent emotions with their unparalleled arrangements and intricate economies of space.
