What's On in Hamden

Flamingosis will hit the road with a band for the very first time. At the end of 2023, he performed a pair of gigs in Denver at Cervantes joined by Bodega Groove Collective. The drums, horns, guitar, and bass added a full-bodied bombast to the set unlike anything he’d delivered prior. The shows in Denver were pretty much the climax of his music career thus far. He’d never played with a live band, so it was a major change. He’s learned you need to face new challenges head-on. It’s what they did, and it went great. It’s going to be really cool to do the same thing on the road. In the end, Flamingosis delivers a message meant to be shared aloud on the album. It’s a reminder that no matter what you’re going through, you can be better for yourself. Hard times don’t last. All of those little things add up to change you for the better. Am I where I want to be? Probably not yet, but I’m a lot better than I was when I started the whole process.

Worry Club is a Chicago-based band started by Chase Walsh (singer/songwriter) in January 2020. In just under four years, the band has amassed over 12 million streams. Worry Club has built an engaged and devoted fan base through a discography of singles that quickly found their audience online during the pandemic and the collective's staunch advocacy for mental health awareness. In 2023 they released their third EP, 'All Frogs Go to Heaven', which received a long list of editorial playlists across DSPS, and coverage from notable press outlets. 2024 has started off with their most recent release, 'I Suck' which is about falling behind in relationships and admitting that you suck. It's about taking the easy way out and admitting you suck instead of taking real accountability. They have attracted high interest from multiple record labels, and have plans to release music and tour as much as possible.
