New York duo Sharkmuffin have been called “either the most glam garage band around, or the grungiest glam band around.” by NPR. On their way back from SXSW they will be stopping at the Revierie Cafe + Bar next Tuesday 3/21 for a show. They will be supported by NYC’s Ex-Girlfriends and local bands Ripper and Murf.

Sharkmuffin is Tarra Thiessen and Natalie Kirch, a duo of Brooklynite sirens bred from the waves of the Jersey shore. Influenced by everyone from Nirvana to The Ronettes, Sharkmuffin adds a unique jagged edge onto ‘60s beach pop meets ‘90s alt sound, a genre lovingly dubbed “opti-mystic glam-grunge.” With several cross-country tours (including many return trips to SXSW) and no shortage of EPs, Sharkmuffin has been creating a veritable whirlpool of musical chaos. Their 2015 debut LP Chartreuse (featuring Patty Schemel of Upset/Hole on drums) is their most vicious lure, featuring 10 tracks that bleed heavily with feminine rage and cheeky sass alike.
