Performance

Bubblegum Octopus

1 upcoming performance in New York

Bubblegum Octopus arrives at Market Hotel for a live set that frames rock and pop as elastic, glitch-prone materials rather than fixed genres. The project is associated with Devi McCallion, whose broader work in New York’s DIY circuits has helped blur the line between studio maximalism and basement immediacy. On stage, songs tend to move in sharp edits and sudden mood shifts, treating distortion and melody as equal narrative tools. It matters here because it reflects how NYC’s current underground rebuilds pop language in real time.
