Dear Boy is the torch bearer of lyric forward guitar music and melody focused indie rock. The band has become an important voice in the LA underground music scene, crafting bittersweet songs inspired by late 70’s / early 80’s post-punk and early 90’s britpop, seen through their unique modern lens.
With three EP’s and a bouquet of singles, Dear Boy has earned an immense and loyal following, selling out headline shows from the Troubadour to The Teragram and touring with the likes of The Psychedelic Furs, James, Pete Yorn, Day Wave, Rogue Wave, Sunflower Bean, DMA’s & Peter Murphy. 2019 also saw the band performing at the Corona Capital festival in Mexico City and recording a live set on KCRW’s Morning Becomes Eclectic.
In 2020 Dear Boy completed their debut full length album and in 2021, signed with Last Gang Records. The release will be Dear Boy’s first collaboration with the legendary label. Produced by the band and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Air, Phoenix, M83), the record also features contributions from Day Wave, Hazel English, Rogue Wave, AFI & Ian Hultquist of Passion Pit.
Dear Boy is a band of best friends from Los Angeles, California. Ben Grey (vocals / guitar), Austin Hayman (guitar), Keith Cooper (drums) and Lucy Lawrence (bass / vocals).
Candy Cigarettes
From one of the Pacific Northwest’s most beautiful cities, Portland, comes Candy Cigarettes, the music moniker of the one-man band, producer, vocalist, and self-taught multi-instrumentalist, Lane Mueller. Mueller has received a growing reputation in Portland’s competitive DIY scene, opening for established artists like Crumb, Guerilla Toss, and Corridor. His self-titled debut dropped on May 5th, 2016. Unforgettable tracks like “Selling Price” and “Molded Ocean” ordain Mueller’s LP as one of the best debuts of the year. Also, don’t miss the Beach Boys influenced choruses and psychedelic beach pop for “Sweet Love.” Beginning in his mid-teens, Mueller taught himself to play guitar, bass, piano, and drums. His biggest musical influences include Beck, Elliott Smith, Brian Jonestown Massacre, and Radiohead.
All attendees must be fully vaccinated for COVID (proof is required via vaccination card or photo of vaccine card on phone), or show proof of a negative PCR COVID test within 48 hours preceding the show. Proof in all cases must be accompanied by photo ID. Full COVID policy here.

We have a theater major and would love to see this show.
To enjoy a girls night dancing to sounds of the past 70’, 80’s and early 90’s music from candy cigarettes.
Would love to attend this show! It should be awesome!
Both bands sound great, pick me! 😊
I have heard of Candy Cigarettes, but haven’t had an opportunity to see them live yet. Fun!
I’d love to get back a sense of normalcy and be able to check out and support new artists! I’m a big fan of dream pop and indie music💕
2 of the most memorable shows ive gotten to check out were STRFKR and Beachhouse❤
I used to love Candy Cigarettes when I was a kid! 🙂
We were married on Labor Day and cant afford to go and celebrate. This would be fun to go to.
Candy cigarettes? Are those the ones you would pretend to smoke like all the cool adults when we were children.. I loved the flavor, not all the powder!
I’ve never heard of either of these bands but I checked them out and now I am happy because I found some new music and both groups sound awesome. Would be great to be able to see them live. Also, it would be nice to go to a concert and pretend that the world isn’t on fire and falling apart. 🙂
Don’t let me forget how to dance, love to be there.
I would love to win tickets to this concert. I’d love to dance again 🙂
This seems up my alley!
Anything at the crystal ballroom or any mcmenamins is awesome never heard candy cigarette but I’m down with it need a date night my husband he works way to much I miss him thank you debbie Wilson.
I absolutely love going to random concerts of bands I’ve never heard of. I’ve seen a lot of random shows that way not knowing what to expect! It’s usually a blast. So..that’s why I’d like to win! Sounds like good random fun.
YES YES DREAM POP.
