It’s those six magic words every music fan loves to hear. “Girls and gays to the front!”

Die Spitz is every rock fan’s dream band. The Austin-base band’s live shows are can’t-miss events full of all your favorite things: musicians leaping off of amps, crowd surfers, a wall of death, circle pits… they even brought out a sword at one point. Because why not? There are no rules at Die Spitz shows, it’s a lawless land where the unruly vibe dictates what road you’ll go down throughout the night. Die Spitz are full of femme rage and absolutely DESTROY on their instruments. They’ve mastered what most musicians can only dream of: reciprocating their raucous energy with the crowd. My God, they really do go big in Texas.

They were joined by raging queers Babe Haven, who we firmly believe should headline their own set soon at the Bottleneck. Babe Haven sets are where you’ll find all the queer angry kids feeling empowered (so really, any regular day in Lawrence). The North Carolina rockers, like Die Spitz, were also living the dream of reciprocating their fans’ rebellious vibes, resulting in a rock show that was so stunning, we could have watched them further extend their set and been on Cloud 9.
