STAY: San Jose's awakebutstillinbed kick off the new year with a Jan 1 show at X Bar.

It’s important to start off the new year with the right tone, and that means starting off emo. Since the release of their 2018 debut, awakebutstillinbed (aka absib) has been San Jose’s #1 representative in the emo ecosystem, bringing the world their frantic and compelling combination of pained vocals and harrowing guitar licks. This Saturday, they’re joined by Bay hyperska artist Eichlers and Seattle’s Worst Party Ever—originally a solo acoustic songwriting project for vocalist Andy Schueneman, now a Gainesville-based band who recently released a strong album in Dartland. This bill is sure to bang heads at the X Bar.
