The Shondes will be back in Baltimore for the first time since 2006. They take on The Windup Space on Friday, November 20th at 9 p.m. Hailing from western Brooklyn this four-piece indie rock band uniquely combines 90’s Queercore and Riot Girl power with traditional Jewish music. Their comparison to acts like Sleater-Kinney come as no surprise with the hard hitting distortion, melody, feminism and socio-political concerns being mixed together and transformed into raw power through cranked up amps.
The Shondes are made up of violinist Elijah Oberman, bassist Louisa Rachel Solomon, guitarist Fureigh and drummer Temim Fruchter. The band takes their name from the Yiddish word for “shame” or “disgrace.” Since the beginning they have maintained a hectic tour schedule sharing the stage with such performers as Electrelane, Rasputina, Erase Errata, Amy Ray, Mecca Normal and Lesbians on Ecstasy.
Joining them on stage will be The Degenerettes, a queer art rock power trio from Baltimore, as well as Baby Aspirin, Baltimore’s long time psychedelic blues rock Quartet.
This powerful show promises to explode with energy and is not to be missed. The Windup Space is located at 12 West North Avenue in Baltimore.
