CHEEKFACE

Cheekface, the Los Angeles indie rock trio known for their talk-singing style and witty, anxiety-ridden lyrics, headlines a concert at the Black Cat on Wednesday, September 16, 2026. Formed in 2017 by Greg and Mandy as a low-key Bandcamp project, the band quickly built a cult following with songs like “Dry Heat/Nice Town” and albums such as *Therapy Island* (2019), *Emphatically No* (2021), and *Too Much to Ask* (2022), which reached #2 on the non-commercial radio chart. Their fourth album, *It’s Sorted*, arrived in January 2024, and this show is part of the supporting tour that has seen sold-out dates across the US, Canada, and the UK. Opening the evening is Apes of the State, adding a complementary punk-folk energy.
