<p>When Viruette burst into Boston with their 2022 self-titled single, it was obvious that the band’s pointed and “transatlantic” approach to modern rock would make them a standout of the scene. Indeed, months after “Viruette” dropped, the tune pirouetted its way onto our list of favorite homegrown songs from the year (and remains a indefatigable earworm to this day). That first release set a mighty bar for the rock on the horizon — and with their debut album Your Lacuna, […]</p>

Today we are thrilled to bring you the premiere of the new live EP by California-based punk rockers Middle-Aged Queers! The EP captures their performance at 924 Gilman Street in Berkeley, California that took place on February 10, 2023. Speaking about the live EP the band said, "We asked Mateo of Sarchasm to act as our engineer, capturing the stems straight from the new soundboard at Gilman Street. It was quite a different experience for us, as many of our previous bands had recorded live sets at the club using the ancient console that pre-dated the 1986 start of the club. We then passed the stems off to Bart Thurber, who mixed all our previous studio sessions. We did not touch up any recordings; it's all 100% live. Bloopers and all! With the addition of Fureigh on guitar and backup vocals, it was important to include a few songs that now have vocal harmonies that didn't exist in previous releases. We also had to include the encore of 'Fist Fuck' by Dr. Know; the crowd was especially worked up by that point, having stolen two of our vocal mics off the stage to sing along with us!”DCxPC Live Vol. 26: Middle-Aged Queers / Raging Nathans also features a B-side of Raging Nathans’ performance at Goldmarks in Stuttgart, Germany and will be out everywhere on June 28 via DCxPC Live and Wax Mage Records. Middle-Aged Queers will be touring the US this summer and fall. Listen to the EP below!
