📓 Car Seat Headrest @ Mission Ballroom

Car Seat Headrest makes anxious, anthemic indie rock for anyone who’s ever overthought themselves into oblivion. Will Toledo’s songwriting blends existential spirals with shouted choruses, channeling the raw spirit of lo-fi DIY into sprawling, emotionally explosive epics.

> “A hero of bedroom rock’s big feelings, Car Seat Headrest makes awkwardness sound almost triumphant."—Pitchfork

• 🔹 Who They Are: What started as a Bandcamp project became one of indie rock’s most beloved live acts—smart, sloppy, sincere, and often very loud.
• 🔹 If You Like: Modest Mouse, The Strokes, LCD Soundsystem, Built to Spill
• 🔹 Essential Track: “Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales” — a slow build to full-throated catharsis you’ll want to scream-sing.
• 🔹 Must-Listen Album: Teens of Denial — lo-fi angst turned arena-sized.
• 🎤 Why This Show? If you like your indie rock messy, brilliant, and shouted by hundreds of people at once, this’ll hit just right.
• 📍 Meetup Plan: Meet at BrewDog at 6:30 PM for beers, bites, and overanalyzing the setlist before heading into the echo chamber.
• 🎟️ Tickets: $60 at AXS. Pro tip! Skip the fees and get a paper ticket to any Bluebird, Ogden, Gothic or Mission show at any one of those box offices when you're seeing your next show. Weigh the benefits of easy transfers + potential sellouts on your own terms.

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!
