Cheekface with Special Guest Waitress at the Crocodile

Cheekface brings their talk-singing indie rock to Seattle's Crocodile, supported by special guest Waitress. Known for their blend of post-punk and power pop, the LA trio—guitarist/singer Greg Katz, bassist Amanda Tannen, and drummer Mark "Echo" Edwards—deliver a set drawn from their acclaimed third LP "Too Much to Ask." Expect witty, fatalistic lyrics, catchy riffs, and a live show that's equal parts sardonic and energizing.

The evening is all ages, and the intimate venue on 1st Avenue provides a perfect setting for Cheekface's chatty, hook-laden songs. With a reputation for packed houses of "Cheek Freaks," this show offers a chance to hear tracks like "We Need a Bigger Dumpster" and "You Always Want to Bomb the Middle East" in an up-close setting. Arrive early for Waitress's opening set, which complements the headliner's quirky charm.
