Briteboy & ceremonia
FEB 27TH @ BARKING LEGS THEATER
7PM | $15
There’s a confessional nature to Briteboy’s music. An examination of walking through life. These feelings of nostalgia and pain are present in the recordings.
This show is gonna get loud.
Briteboy is no stranger to volume and building a wall of sound to carry their songs.
Ceremonia will join the night, setting the tone with stillness at the beginning before we swim in sound with Briteboy.
