Pearl & The Oysters with Tengo Suerte in Phoenix

Pearl & The Oysters bring their sunny, layered indie pop to Valley Bar in downtown Phoenix, with special guest Tengo Suerte opening the night. The duo, formed in Paris and now based in Los Angeles, crafts fizzy lounge pop that draws on '70s piano rock, Brazilian, exotica, and city pop influences. Their latest album, Monkey Mind, was recorded live to tape with producer Jonathan Rado and reflects on uncertainty, eco-anxiety, and the comfort of community.

Expect a set that moves from peaceful, half-asleep piano to fidgety yacht rock guitar and frantic '70s funk, all anchored by the duo's long-standing creative and romantic partnership. The intimate basement venue, with its vintage decor and low ceilings, suits their dreamy, nostalgic sound. It's a chance to hear songs from a record that captures both the fear of loss and the relief of not being alone, in a setting that feels like a giant hug.
