Matching Outfits at Hotel Vegas at Volstead

Mar 15, 2025

10:15pm – 10:55pm CT

Hotel Vegas at Volstead

Matching Outfits are a trio of adopted Berliners whose warped, wistful take on indie pop has been compared to “a Super 8 film from the family attic”. Singer Linnea Mårtensson's lyrics capture life’s major losses and minor inconveniences in gut-wrenching, occasionally hilarious detail, while dulcet harmonies morph into discordant freakouts and shout-along choruses. Their debut cassette "Band Made Out Of Sand" caught the attention of cult radio station WFMU as well as New Jersey label Bar/None (Yo La Tengo, The Feelies), which signed the band and put out their Emperor X-produced breakup lament "No Whiskey" in January 2025. The band does not wear matching outfits, except when they do.
