Hembree’s Holiday Hang

December 14 9:00 pm PST

Main Stage

Doors Open: 8:30

$15

Upon releasing their debut album House on Fire in 2019, Hembree quickly started to make a name for themselves in the indie rock world. Garnering the attention of NPR, Rolling Stone, Billboard and landing songs in Netflix shows and Apple commercials, the band developed a reputation for their own brand of infectious and danceable rock. They toured extensively until hunkering down to make their sophomore record It’s a Dream!, which was released in 2022. The record received high praise from tastemakers like Line Of Best Fit as an incredibly ambitious and creative album that pushed the band’s previous boundaries.

Originally from Kansas City, the now Los Angeles based outfit doesn’t stray away from drawing influence from both homes. It’s a pairing that helps Hembree create their own eclectic version of rock and roll. Their unique sound is nostalgic and modern all at once and it has landed them on festival stages all over the country and bills with indie rock legends, Phoenix to rock n’ roll icon, Elvis Costello.

Lead singer, Isaac Flynn, describes their upcoming album Better Days as the record Hembree fell in love with being a band again. There is an immense amount of joy and heart that went into these songs, and Flynn sums it up by stating, “When we started this record, we were feeling a bit lost and discouraged by the state of the music world, but we rediscovered our love for making music together and realized that’s all that really matters.” Better Days is out now.

Described by Wonderland as “a raw and unfiltered powerhouse,” Annabel Lee’s music captures the essence of rebellion and self-expression. Her sound is a visceral blend of punk rock intensity and haunting melodies, a reflection of her relentless drive and fearless approach to artistry.

Buzzbands.la praises her for “shattering the norms and challenging the status quo with every performance.” Annabel’s live shows are an experience of catharsis and raw energy, leaving audiences both exhilarated and introspective. Her lyrics delve into the depths of personal and societal struggles, resonating with a generation that refuses to be silenced.

In her own words to LADYGUNN, Annabel Lee states, “I create music to confront and conquer. It’s a battle cry for the unheard, a voice for the unseen.” Her relentless passion and unyielding spirit have solidified her as a formidable presence in the music industry, an artist who demands attention and leaves an indelible mark on all who encounter her work.

Annabel Lee began her musical journey as the acoustic opener for hardcore shows around New England when she was a teenager, honing her craft and building a loyal following. She has since played hundreds of shows around the US sharing stages with Indigo De Souza, Zella Day, Moon Walker and Amanda Palmer, converting new audiences into hardcore fans wherever she goes. Her music has been used across film and TV including placements in HBO’s Mrs. Fletcher (trailer), Netflix’s Lucifer, ABC’s The Rookie, and a national Casper Mattress commercial. She was famously booted off of Songland by Leona Lewis when Ester Dean said “you’re an artist, don’t give away your song…I love everything about you.”

In 2023, Annabel Lee released her debut album, Mother’s Hammer. The album received significant airplay on LA’s KROQ and The SoCal Sound, and garnered editorial inclusion on playlists across Spotify, Apple, TIDAL, and Amazon.

Annabel curates and hosts outlandish, themed, multimedia immersive events around Los Angeles including “The Sweat Gala” and “A Night At the Opera”, which have become a cornerstone of the LA art scene, blending music, visual art, film, and performance in a celebration of creativity and expression.
