Scumbag Summer presents Sunbather with Poverty Porn & The Strangelys at the ZACC Thursday at 8:00 pm

Sunbather Die is a trio based in a Ballard basement too short to stand in. Long time friends and brothers drawing influence from everything on the planet they’ve seen so far up to this point. Tragic noises and cannabis and pessimistic loudness.

Poverty Porn is a three-piece punk rock band from Missoula, Montana. Their queer and BIPOC backgrounds also shape their unique perspective. The band’s guitarist and vocalist, Kye, is a member of the Meskwaki First Nation from Iowa, while their bassist, Anthony, is Puerto Rican. The band has had several drummers in their rotating cast, some of whom are also people of color. Their music is characterized by buzzsaw guitars, heavy bass riffs, and gruff vocals, with deeply personal and raw lyrics exploring addiction, frustration, and the struggles of life. With their latest EP, “Upper-Middle-Class-Softcore,” produced by Nataanii of the Missoula rock band Fuuls, the band showcases even more sonically punishing and emotionally charged songs than their previous releases. Their high-energy live shows create a sense of community among fans and make them a force to be reckoned with in the punk scene. Poverty Porn has a bright future ahead of them as they continue to tackle complex and uncomfortable topics with self-deprecation and humor.

From Missoula, Montana, The Strangelys (strange•lees) play drinking songs for the post apocalypse. Influenced by early 80’s hardcore punk bands such as Circle Jerks and Black Flag, this is music for moshing, skating and opening a wormhole to other galaxies. Hit play and get strange.
