POINTLESS CULTURE & COSMIC TRIUMPH / Bank of NH Stage (Concord) / 8:00pm – DIRECT/x
Pointless Culture is a New Hampshire–based indie alt/rock band and the brainchild of Harrison Fantasia and Harrison Hinman. What began as a creative partnership quickly grew into a full band with the addition of bassist Nolan Cota and lead guitarist Ben Schultz, solidifying the lineup and shaping the band’s sound. Cosmic Triumph is a fictional band engineered as a bold, dystopian art project, part satire, part psychological experiment, and part irresistible pop spectacle. Conceived as a “psyop to control the masses and distract them from real-world problems,” the band’s entire identity blends retro-futuristic aesthetics, government-style propaganda, and mind-bending musicality. Their universe is built on the idea that Cosmic Triumph is not just a musical act, but a social engineering tool disguised as a feel-good cultural phenomenon. Every song, symbol, and broadcast is crafted to feel simultaneously uplifting, suspicious, and strangely comforting. www.ccanh.com or (603)225-1111
AN EVENING WITH SISTER SADIE / Rex Theatre (Manchester) / 7:30pm – DIRECT/x
Sister Sadie is a powerhouse. All-female bluegrass band. No label pitch. No brand blueprint. Just a spontaneous jam session at Nashville’s Station Inn between a few friends. All women, all seasoned players out to make a little noise on a weeknight. What happened next was alchemy: the room lit up, the crowd roared and by the time the night was over, something had shifted. The landscape of bluegrass, and the women who played it, would never be the same. That night became the origin story of Sister Sadie: a band born by accident, kept alive by chemistry and fueled by an unshakable bond between women who had spent their lives not just learning the rules, but defying them. www.rextheatre.org or (603)668-5588
