Bluebird Theater hosts New Dad on 14 May 2026 as their tour pushes west, with Freak Slug again opening. Freak Slug’s set blends lo-fi indie pop and British indie rock, folding tracks like “27 Club” and “Liquorice” into a haze of reverb and gentle distortion. New Dad then push those textures further, weaving shoegaze elements into melodic frameworks that feel built for a theatre-sized room. The shared emphasis on guitars and atmosphere links the two acts, but subtle differences in pacing and arrangement keep the bill from blurring together, offering a layered look at current guitar-centred pop.
