The Frights: YOU ARE GOING TO HATE THIS - 10 YEAR ANNIVERSARY TOUR

At The Bowery Ballroom, “YOU ARE GOING TO HATE THIS – 10 Year Anniversary Tour” documents a decade of scrappy rock-pop songwriting in a room that has long served as a proving ground for touring guitar bands in New York. The bill pairs The Frights with Mexican Slum Rats, tracing a lineage from surf-leaning punk to hook-forward pop structures. There’s no clear NYC premiere history attached, but the anniversary framing gives the set the feel of an audit, not a victory lap. The material lands as personal and lived-in, with momentum built on economy rather than spectacle.
