Choir Boy brings their shimmering, melancholic synth-pop to the Backstage Bar & Billiards stage, the kind of sound that wraps aching falsetto vocals around dreamy, reverb-soaked instrumentals. The Salt Lake City band has built a following on their ability to blend 80s post-punk influences with something more tender and vulnerable, creating music that feels equally suited for slow dancing in the dark or staring at the ceiling with headphones on. Foliage joins as support, rounding out a night that leans into atmosphere and mood over anything flashy.

The venue itself sets the tone well for this kind of show. Backstage Bar & Billiards has become a fixture of the Fremont East District, a spot where rock 'n' roll history and dive bar charm collide under dim lighting and pool tables. Expect a crowd that's here for the music, drinks in hand, settling into the kind of intimate room where the band feels close enough to touch.
