Dressy Bessy and Pout House

Rounding out this homegrown foursome is Pout House, Denver’s closest thing to proper descendants of the Strokes. The quartet is currently coming off a busy 2019, which included an appearance at the Underground Music Showcase and opening slots for the likes of Slothrust, Bleached and Summer Cannibals. Also in 2019: the release of single “Bluesday,” anchored by sharp Albert Hammond Jr. guitar work and a Julian Casablancas-esque sense of resignation provided by frontperson Catie Rauhala. Whether or not you remember the glory days of Is This It, it’s good stuff.
