Sydnee Washington & Marie Faustin will riff off of their beloved weekly podcast MESS, where they dive into the mess that is life on earth and try to make it make sense. Hilarity ensues as opinions fly, realizations are made, and the mess is cleaned up.

Rostam
With cello quartet
Friday, August 1 11pm

Producer, songwriter, and founding member of Vampire Weekend, Rostam returns for his first solo performance in over a year, joined by a cello quartet to perform unreleased material and new arrangements of songs spanning his career. The quartet, led by Hamilton Berry and featuring Emily Brausa, Michael Haas, and Dara Hankins, will accompany him in this unique performance. He has been described by Stereogum as one of the greatest pop and indie-rock producers of his generation, having produced for some of the most important artists of the last decade including Frank Ocean, HAIM, Clairo, Solange, Hamilton Leithauser, Maggie Rogers, Charli XCX, Santigold, Carly Rae Jepsen and many others. This new collaboration is not to be missed.
