Every month a different local musician performs their original music. Between songs, a group of local improvisors, The Local Music Scene, improvises comedic scenes inspired by the lyrics. Hosted by Philip Simondet.
The Smokes are a rock band made of the booming soul-influenced voice and lofi riffs of Himes Alexander with the raw aggressive beats of Matt Slater on drums and the smooth precision of Chloe Carson on bass. Their music echoes the sounds of The Sonics and the dirty garage rock of the 90s. They play with reckless abandon that is evocative of a time when rock was fun, unhinged, and honest. Their upbeat and whimsical personalities exist in stark juxtaposition to the intensely personal and honest subject matter of their lyrics.
