Details

On Tuesday, June 9th, 2026, 710 Red River is turning into a lair of fuzzed-out riffs, dungeon atmospheres, and late-night weirdness with a three-band lineup that’s all about big sounds and stranger moods: Driftside, Medieval Snails, and Big Cat Attack.

  • 9:00 pm – Driftside kicks the night off with guitar-forward indie rock that leans into spacey textures and melodic hooks. Their songs feel like they were written for long drives and neon-lit nights, drifting between dreamy passages and punchy, energetic choruses. Expect shimmering leads, roomy rhythms, and the kind of slow-building tunes that sneak up on you in the best way.

  • 10:00 pm – Medieval Snails follow with a set that sounds like it crawled out of a haunted castle and found a delay pedal. Their release “The Great Satan” shows off a wild mix of jagged experimental rock, noisy edges, and brooding, almost cinematic passages. Live, that translates into big dynamics, off-kilter grooves, and riffs that feel like they were forged in some smoke-filled underground cavern. It’s weird, heavy, and hypnotic in equal measure.

  • 11:00 pm – Big Cat Attack closes the night and pounces right for your frontal lobe. On Spotify they swing from driving alt-rock to noisy, angular jams, with tracks like “Maypole” and “Slow Oxen, Patient Earth” packing in huge guitar tones, offbeat melodies, and a raw, DIY energy. Their set is the kind that gets louder, stranger, and more fun as the night goes on—perfect for a late-night headbanging session with your friends.

The whole thing is just $5 at the door, making this one of those classic low-cover, high-payoff nights where you stumble onto your new favorite band. It’s also 21 and up, so you can settle in with a drink and let the noise roll over you as the night shifts from indie haze to medieval-tinged chaos to full-on big-cat distortion.

If you’re into underground rock, experimental edges, and the kind of show where every band sounds totally different but fits the mood perfectly, circle June 9th and plan on staying late. Driftside set the scene, Medieval Snails get weird with it, and Big Cat Attack makes sure you go home with your ears ringing and your head full of riffs.
