Speedy Ortiz at The Stone Fox TONIGHT!!
Catching Speedy Ortiz at The Stone Fox tonight will be a wise decision! They’re the kind of self-assertive, minimalist fuzz-rock band that is fueled by a live connection of raw lyrics and punk pit groove endorphins. Their latest album, Major Arcana, was inspired by a book lead singer Sadie Dupuis (a young, ominous songwriter-poet…
