    About This Event

    Franny Menace, Alphabet City and SOFTCRUSH play a late-night bill at Mercury Lounge. Each act works in the city’s club circuit toward guitar-forward songcraft: tight arrangements, clear vocals and ensemble balance that favor structured, vocal-forward narratives over spectacle. The three have often shared bills around town, presenting concise sets that leave room for lyric detail and band interplay.
