Next Friday, Sept. 30th a benefit show for Boston Ladyfest, our local iteration of a worldwide arts movement intended to bring female-identifying creatives together, will be held at Trixie’s Palace. In the spirit of the event, this is the second of a series of shows featuring female-centric bands to raise money for the event itself next April.

Wet Nurse will play, making an appearance as a stop on their fall tour. The four-piece from Orlando’s witty garage-rock sound is a perfect fit for the Boston scene. You can familiarize yourself their album from last year,  So It Goes, below:

Boston’s own halfsour will also play, just two weeks before their new album Charm School releases. Their latest single, “Ten Year Tenure”, features Zöe Wyner’s sweetly sardonic voice musing on the increasingly inhospitable climate for creatives. Allston Pudding is presenting their EP release on October 14th!

Blessed State will come in from Western Mass to round out the bill with their gritty, punk-rock sound. If you’re not already familiar, you might remember Brian Frenette’s strong, gravelly vocals from the Late Winter Localz Only mixtape earlier this year.

Closing out the show is Second Becky, whose lack of a web presence shouldn’t deter you from coming out to support them too!

The event has a $5-$10 sliding scale to support Ladyfest in the spring.
