AMERICAN INK, Scaffolding, Munde
2025-01-07 19:30 - 22:30 | The Rockwell
AMERICAN INK and Munde perform on NEW TALENT TUESDAYS
Join us for a night of incredible live music at The Rockwell, featuring three standout Boston-local bands. Munde brings their experimental jam rock sound, blending psychedelic, industrial, and progressive elements into immersive sonic journeys. Scaffolding delivers raw, cathartic energy with their noise emo style, combining piercing lyrics and chaotic yet captivating instrumentation. American Ink rounds out the night with their melodic alternative rock, offering heartfelt lyrics and electrifying anthems. Don’t miss this chance to experience the diversity of Boston’s music scene all in one unforgettable evening!

Scaffolding is a Noise Emo band founded in 2022 in Providence, RI. Daniel Pond recruited Joey Dubois and Brian Fink after ending his former project Pondering. A cocktail of Daniel’s powerful poetic lyrics fermented with his buzzed guitar, Brian’s thundering bass and Joey’s driving drums. Scaffolding’s sound projects the powerful passion of their artistic live shows into every recording.
Scaffolding (social media): https://www.instagram.com/scaffoldingmusic/

American Ink is a Boston-based alt rock band comprised of drummer Nick Fauza, guitarist Michael Romano, and bassist Aidan Crotty. Their debut EP ‘Hand-Drawn Hearts’ and their 2019 album ‘Please Forget You Knew My Name’ explore everything from hardcore punk to acoustic-driven balladry. Mary Menzemer from the online publication Sound of Boston describes their 2019 work as “vulnerable and slightly experimental . . . American Ink somehow successfully manages to stay relatable while creating trendy, yet nostalgic, music”. In January 2021, they released ‘Up Next On…’ which is the bands first self-produced(and self-recorded) album. Mixed and mastered by Nick Fauza, ‘Up Next On…’ adds a new window of experimental production to American Ink’s already unique sound. American Ink is coming into 2021 with a fanbase that keeps growing and music to match. American Ink cannot ,and will not, be ignored.

Munde is an alternative/jam rock band from the Boston area that blends experimental, psych/prog, and electronic sounds with catchy hooks and danceable grooves. Founded by bassist Liam Oulton, the project draws inspiration from artists like Boris and Paramore. Munde is driven by the powerful vocals of Melodie Isaacs and supported by talented musicians from the Boston community, all of whom bring incredible musicianship to the stage.

What’s It Like?
Hear from real attendees in the videos here!
Do you wish you could have more of the kinds of conversations you have late at night where for some reason, you feel safe talking about the things you actually care about?
Bring your friends (or come by yourself) and spend your night at an event where you know everyone else is there for the same reason.
We’ll be offering “big talk” conversational prompts on them to get you started, and we’ll have lots of structure to make sure that you actually talk to people and that it’s not awkward. Not feeling like answering a particular question? No worries, we’ll have plenty to choose from, like, “When are you the happiest?” and, “If you were going to become close friends with me, what would I need to know about you?” We’ll give you ground rules to make sure you feel comfortable and safe sharing as much of yourself as possible while still feeling in complete control of how much you divulge.
There will be food and drinks for sale!
Check-in for this event will begin around 6:45 pm. Please do your best to arrive before 7:00 pm so we can begin as close to on time as possible.
