📚 English Teacher @ Lost Lake Lounge

English Teacher crafts cerebral, wry, and beautifully agitated art-rock that wears its insecurities like a badge of honor. Think wonky guitars, poet-professor vocals, and sharp social commentary wrapped in a post-punk shrug.

"Every verse feels like a thesis and a confession, delivered with deadpan clarity and sonic bite." —The Guardian

• 🔹 Who They Are: Leeds-based quartet fronted by Lily Fontaine, English Teacher turns self-aware millennial malaise into off-kilter anthems. Their debut album This Could Be Texas hit in 2024 and already feels like a cult classic.
• 🔹 If You Like: Dry Cleaning, Yard Act, Squid, early Blur (with better politics)
• 🔹 Essential Track: “The World’s Biggest Paving Slab” – sardonic, sprawling, and sneakily catchy. Great for staring blankly at your ceiling while overthinking your career choices.
• 🔹 Must-Listen Album: This Could Be Texas – a debut full of nervy charm and lyrical flourishes that make you do a double-take. Start to finish, it’s an indie lit major’s dream.
• 🎤 Why This Show? For fans of guitar-forward brainy bands with a bite.
• 📍 Meetup Plan: Meet at Stoney's Uptown Joint at 7:30 PM for snacks and a quick pint, then head down the block to catch the set at Lost Lake.
• 🎟️ Tickets: ~$18 at Lost Lake – snag yours asap.

Q: What's the RSVP policy?
A: RSVP etiquette is crucial! No-shows can throw off the vibe of the event, so we kindly ask that you shoot the host a message or un-RSVP before the event starts if you can't make it. Two no-shows may result in removal from the group.

Q: How can I support?
A: Did you know that your humble organizers pay about $360 a year to bring events to you on Meetup? A tiny annual donation from you is all it takes to keep the events coming. Suggested donation is $5/event or $20 for unlimited events. Just send a Venmo/Paypal to me @mandirao (or ask me for Zelle). Couldn't do it without you!
