Blonde Otter w/ Already Late

Blonde Otter is a New York City–based rock/pop group heard on bills at Union Pool, including a recent night alongside Janna Jamison and Pespi. With an emerging Spotify footprint (around 1K followers), they sit in the city’s small-room circuit where bands are tested by close listening and quick set changes.

Already Late is an electronic group heard in New York City rooms where the sound system is part of the program, including Sleepwalk. They’ve shared bills with Blanket Approval and singer-songwriter Lena Fjortoft, moving between vinyl-minded listening sets and more performance-forward lineups.
