Pinklids’ next Boston-area show is September 29, 2026 at Middle East Upstairs.
Pinklids are a Boston 'retro-futurist punk' quartet fronted by Amber Lawson, pairing high-energy hooks with a dystopian, cinematic edge. They call the sound 'gentle-surf' meets 'beach-punk,' lately pushing into industrial and metallic textures inspired by mid-century sci-fi like Barbarella. Live, expect wonky stage performances and chaotic, noisy breaks. They have opened for Jack White.
