New York’s American Pinup is coming through Bozeman in March! They will be playing Whistle Pig with The Sleepless Elite and Rats on Monday, March 28th beginning with doors at 7pm. This is an all ages show with a $5 suggested donation. American Pinup emerged from the suburban sprawl of Westchester County, New York in 2010 to offer a rousing blend of punk rock and powerpop with seasoned songwriting at its core. Thoughtfully arranged compositions and lyrical depth bolster the band’s radio-ready, exuberant indie rock sound. Fronted by Lauren West, who unites sultry, melodic crooning with a raspy, rock and roll growl, the band draws on influences from across the spectrum of alternative music, creating an explosive mixture of pop-savvy melody and punk rock attitude. The result is the perfect marriage of hook and edge. Following two full-length albums and two EPs, multiple nationwide tours, and countless appearances at festivals such as Vans Warped Tour, The Fest, and SXSW since their arrival on the scene, American Pinup has carved out their own niche in the world of independent music. A tireless, DIY work ethic paired with undeniably infectious tracks and electrifying live shows has propelled the quartet from obscurity to earning a coveted place on the Alternative Press list of “100 Bands You Need To Know” in 2014. Located in picturesque downtown Bozeman, Whistle Pig Korean is an affordable restaurant with a laid back atmosphere. They focus on serving fast, fresh, and healthy food. The owners and staff are confident that once exposed to traditional Korean dishes like Bibimbap, Kimbap, and Mandu, people will applaud their use of fresh vegetables and traditional sauces. They also have many vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Whistle Pig Korean is located at 25 N Willson Ave and is open Tuesday through Friday from 11am to 9pm and Saturday from 12-9pm.
