SUMMARY:Recent Future + General Labor
DESCRIPTION:Recent Future + General Labor  \nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts  \nSaturday\, March 7\, 2026 \nDoors open at 7 PM | Show starts at 7:30 PM \n$18 in advance (plus fees) | $22 at the door \nPURCHASE TICKETS HERE  \n\nRecent Future\n\n\n\nFor one night only\, Recent Future transforms The Green Room into a dance floor for the doomed and the dreamers. Experience the band live as their music videos engulf the room in flickering fantasies\, blurring the lines between the concert you’re watching and the world they’re building. Memphis favorites General Labor will start the night off.\n\n\n​​Memphis-based Charlie Davis (Trash Goblin\, Detachment Kit) and David Johnson (James and the Ultrasounds\, Tall David) met in Governor’s School for the Arts in 1998. Their decades’ long friendship\, fueled by late-night jams and hangouts\, resulted in the creation of Recent Future. As the concept took root during the pandemic\, their ideas reflected the world’s uncertainty and upheaval\, mixed with the personal reflection\, anxiety and ultimately\, hope\, of new fathers. Their respective artistic mindsets meld into bleeding-edge synth punk that’s simultaneously danceable yet doom-laden. Vinyl release to follow later this year via Red Curtain Records.\n\n\n\n“Ardent\, Uncompromising\, Danceable electro-clash doom dance\, Synth punk\, Powerful and assured\, Insightful” – Liz Lane (DJ Modern Girl WEVL)\n\n\n\nGeneral Labor\n\n\n\nThe beauty of General Labor is that they’re impossible to pin down. As they prepare their third official album Production Metrics\, General Labor have found themselves blending industrial\, coldwave\, and punk into a mix with no easy reference points. Advance singles like “Strays” and “Death Comes Knocking” follow the band’s dual 2024 releases\, Galaxy Motors and The Airtight Garage\, which both proffered their own rebalancing of the sonic mix that lives at the heart of General Labor’s music. These tracks\, along with reconstructions of underground hits like “Ghost Rider” and “Eisbär\,” offer new glimpses into the band’s synthetic-meets-organic ethos. Together\, Thomas Corbin\, Elijah Poston\, and Mitch Mealer’s music serves as a response to the technological hellscape that eats at all of us. Humanity is always at the heart of General Labor\, even when it’s obscured by stabbing synths and gnarled rebar percussion.\n\n\n\n– Machine Duplication Recordings

SUMMARY:Mama's Broke with foster falls
DESCRIPTION:Mama’s Broke with fosterfalls\nThe Green Room at Crosstown Arts\nThu\, Feb 5\, 2026\, 7:30 PM\n\n\n\n$24.72 in advance | $25 at the door \nBuy now \n\n\n\nAbout\n\n\n“A unique folk duo that interweaves age-old music form and traditions with original modern compositions. A soundscape both familiar and new.” \nMama’s Broke is a powerful duo that deliver a compelling performance with heart and raw energy. Although highly influenced by their Canadian roots\, Lisa and Amy are based out of nowhere and everywhere. \nTheir two strong voices blend to create haunting harmonies\, while they artfully juggle fiddle\, banjo\, guitar and mandolin\, and incorporate traditional dance and foot percussion into their performance. Their original–and often dark–compositions push the boundaries of tradition and the constraints of genre. Drawing from old-time\, Quebecois\, blues\, punk\, celtic\, balkan and doom metal\, they create a soundscape that is both familiar and new. \n\n\nfosterfalls (they/them) crafts ethereal folk music that envelops the listener in a lush and fantastical world where self observation grows from lush vegetation. Their rich harmony arrangements and open-tuned guitar lines cocoon sharp and observant lyricism in reverberating warmth.\n\n\nIn their enchanting live performances Memphis-born bard fosterfalls guides the audience on a quest through a mythic forest of swelling harmonies and entrancing looper arrangements. Their lyrics plumb themes of the unconscious and ground into natural metaphor\, inviting collective effervescence and shared introspection.
