Join us for an incredible evening of indie/alternative vibes at Get Tight Lounge, as we start tiptoeing our way toward spooky season! This killer lineup features Pittsburgh, PA songwriter: Merce Lemon, Colombus, OH experimental rock trio: Golomb, and shoegaze-psych-rock-project: Babe Lewis, of Harrisonburg, VA.
Merce Lemon grew up immersed in the city’s DIY scene, writing songs and playing in bands, including a punk band called Two Dragons Black and Red, until around the age of 12. After moving back to Pittsburgh in the fall of 2017, Merce recruited a new band—including her father Greg Pierce on guitar. On her new album ‘Moonth’ Lemon and her band craft an intimate and starkly confessional sonic world of songs that grapple with large-scale ideas. The nature of identity, the body, memory, and relationships are all explored through the lens of fluidity, with water as a recurring motif in her songwriting, and a fitting complement to lyrics and arrangements that draw you in like a gentle tide.
Molded in the fertile rock crescent of Columbus, Ohio, three-piece Golomb channels Midwest friction into an album that seeks to find a genuine connection. Siblings Xenia (bass) and Hawken (drums) tie down the rhythm section with songwriter/guitarist Mickey Shuman. Family and friends first and band second, they leveraged years of trust to build a foundation of unwavering sincerity in the compilations emerging from their musical journey. Golomb takes an omnivorous approach to rock in 2025—slipping from psych scorch to power pop, dub, and country. They smelt the sounds on their stereo into a fuzz-lapped long player that nods to GBV, Spiritualized, Built to Spill, and The Velvets. Their latest album, The Beat Goes On, is ultimately about connection—a lifeline from the constant flicker of distractions, horrors, hubris, and duplicity.
Babe Lewis is the solo recording project of Harrisonburg, Virginia-based songwriter Joseph Harder. Mercurial and expeditious, Harder's writing soars and pulses, painted with an ethereal sonic palate incorporating elements of retro psychedelia, shoegaze, and psych rock. Inspired by the guitar stylings of bands like My Bloody Valentine and Helvetia, the hypnotic lo-fi pulse of Unknown Mortal Orchestra, and the mystic harmonies of Crosby, Stills & Nash, Babe Lewis inhabits a niche at the overlap of myriad eras and modes of psychedelic music.Though the Babe Lewis project remains a solo recording endeavor, the project has grown to incorporate a full live band, comprised of Joseph Harder (vocals, guitar), Dane Ludwig (drums), and Valentin Prince (bass, vocals).
