We’re playing Thursday, June 24th at Butler Scion’s Free Thursdays show at Locals Only Art & Music Pub in Indianapolis! It’s a free show with two other great bands, so how could you miss it?
Is this a review? It’s some stuff copy and pasted from our press kit and a link to download a track from the album.

Still, it’s press!
Rooms is playing again Friday, May 21st at the historic Melody Inn! It’s a great lineup with four awesome bands and no cheese or boring stuff:
Goodnight Process
Power-pop / rock and roll from Portland, Maine. This band plays some catchy tunes.

Well, the reviewer didn’t particularly care for it, but we got a review in Tiny Mix Tapes, which is pretty cool:

He does seem to like one track, at least:
“Consistent to a fault, Rooms were smart to follow age-old wisdom to shake up what they’ve got going on the last track. “Red Sky” rises and falls through its sections on some great (read: noticeable) drumwork and, by shuffling in more surprises than the other eight tracks combined, ends up being their most complex and rewarding song.”
Another review!

“Matt Askren and Kevin Toole present passionate vocal talent, guided by the tight drum work of Ben Traub and taut bassiactrics of Andrew Greenburg. Rooms maintains energy yet lacks extreme diversity. Luckily, the energy and instrumental skill level of the members is so above par that there isn’t a single song that presents a notable twinge of displeasure.”
Freddie T and the People, Rooms, and some other bands to be announced will be rocking Locals Only Art & Music Pub on Friday, May 7th!
Freddie T and the People are an amazing supergroup of talented musicians led by Fred Erskine (of June of 44, Hoover, The Boom, Him, etc.) with members of Racebannon, Medusa, and Nidus. They play infectious rock with serious classic soul and reggae influences.

Locals Only is located at 2449 E. 56th Street in Indianapolis.

Come out for the first Rooms show of Spring!
It’s a hot lineup with high-energy Indianapolis shoegaze revivalists Yuki and a band I’ve never heard of called Glowfriends that I’m sure is also great. They’re from Kalamazoo, Michigan!
The show starts around 10pm and is probably around 5 bucks.
Locals Only is located at 2449 E. 56th St. in Indianapolis, and it’s a bar so you have to be 21 to get in.
Hope to see you there!
