The group has performed ONCE before at the infamous Cold Spring Hollow in 2009 and are reportedly excited to be making a return to Western MASS. They’re committed to only playing shows outside of Boston. Nervous Guys are a 100% tribute to the legendary Bay Area budget rock group Icky Boyfriends. The Icky Boyfriends formed around 1989 and played their first show opening for The Melvins. They cleared the room. and have been described as abrasive, ungodly, and sometimes unlistenable.
8:30 PM – DELONS – 1st show! – Featuring Kathy Snax & Jon and Mark from Glass House – Sources say they ‘ve got a bit of a Reigning Sound thing going on, plus a little Flying Nun Kiwi rock. Hooky tunes and jangling guitars? We’re pumped!

10:00 PM – DILEMMA ROSE & THE WAILIN MILFS– The return of the MILFs! One of our favorite local groups of 2023, along with the rest of the Pelvic Floor collective. Jose from Tremendo Garaje described them best: “an evil four-piece making the most angular, oblique and wacky No-Wave Weird Punk you’ve ever heard, which we hope will blow your brains out as much as it did ours!”
