Details

Catch a dreamy wall of sound and a punch of raw energy all in one night at Shoegaze / Indie Rock Music @ 13th Floor on June 4, 2026 at 8:00 pm. This show marks the debut of Austin’s own Stares, a local band blending shoegaze haze with post-punk tension and grungy bite.

Stares lean into shimmering, reverb-heavy guitars, thick bass lines, and vocals that float just beneath the surface—perfect for fans of layered textures and emotionally-charged noise. Expect slow-burn builds that erupt into distortion-drenched climaxes, tight rhythmic grooves, and melodies that linger long after the last feedback fades.

The 13th Floor is known for its intimate stage and big sound, making it an ideal room for shoegaze and post-punk to fully bloom. With the lights low and amps turned up, this debut show is set to feel less like a casual gig and more like a full-body immersion in sound.
