BERMUDA SEARCH PARTY: ATLANTIC ADIEU TOUR
Bermuda Search Party, formerly known as The Q-Tip Bandits, brings its high-energy, life-affirming live show to Washington, D.C., as part of the Atlantic Adieu Tour. The band is touring behind its sophomore album, *Fools On Parade*, with support from indie-pop project Miki Fiki and Washington, D.C.’s psychedelic-driven Argo and the Violent Queens.
Formed by musicians who met in college and developed their sound in Boston’s DIY scene, Bermuda Search Party combines dynamic songwriting, intimate vocals, and prominent trumpet and trombone. The group’s members include guitarist and vocalist Leo Son, bassist and vocalist Claire Davis, trumpeter Maclin Tucker, and trombonist Hoyt Parquet. After releasing its self-produced debut, *Melancholy Flowers*, in 2022, the band played hundreds of venues and festivals nationwide, including Boston Calling, Levitate Music Festival, SXSW, and Treefort Music Festival. Producer Eric Palmquist helped shape *Fools On Parade*, which was released through Nettwerk Music Group in April 2025. The album’s touring cycle led to four Boston Music Awards nominations, including Live Act of the Year, Pop Act of the Year, Video of the Year for “Olivia,” and Album of the Year.
Miki Fiki is the indie-pop project of Ted Hartog, who began the project in Nashville in 2017. Its music pairs relaxed grooves and indie-funk textures with R&B and bedroom-pop elements, wistful lyrics, and broad vocal harmonies. Argo and the Violent Queens, based in Washington, D.C., create a surreal, psychedelic world through nostalgic visuals, abstract lyrics, energetic performances, and modern reinterpretations of genres associated with the 20th century.
