White Denim

CRITIC’S PICK:
Thu., Jul. 10
White Denim, The Earl – White Denim doesn’t tour—they shapeshift. What started as a garage-rock blur out of Austin has evolved into something looser, sharper, and more unpredictable. The band’s live sets are kinetic: songs stretch, explode, and reform mid-air, blurring the line between structure and spontaneity. Frontman James Petralli leads with a voice that croons one second and cuts through the next, anchoring a band that thrives in organized chaos. Their latest material adds polish without dulling the edges, folding soul, psych, and jazz into something distinctly their own. At The Earl, that intensity gets magnified—every note pressed closer, every shift more electric. You don’t just hear White Denim play; you feel them recalibrating the room in real time. – Matthew Warhol
