Come celebrate World Hamster Day at 10 Forward with a fun punk, chiptune, and noise extravaganza! Local superstar daughter & dad punk band ROCKING PUPPIES will be joined by BORING MAN's glitchy loopy noise music & soundscapes, SAM MULLIGAN's gameboy pizza-flavored chiptune rock experience, SPOOKAROUND's basement fun punk vibes, and Easthampton's WIRE PILE (remember the Hole cover band from CoverChella? They were awesome - same folks!), rounding out this eclectic line-up. Are we doing anything to specifically celebrate hamsters? Technically, no, but this is going to be a wild and eclectic show, which will surely make the hamsters proud.
ROCKING PUPPIES
The Rocking Puppies are formidable father-and-daughter punk duo hailing from Western Massachusetts. The band is fronted by 8 year old Pema Crow, joined on guitar by her aging skate punk dad (Michael). But don't let their youthful exuberance fool you; this duo brings a raw and raucous sound that would make even the most seasoned punks nod in approval
