Amateur Hockey Club @ The Caz
In between throwing beers at each other to guess the brand and releasing their brand new single, “Uppercase,” local pop-punk act Amateur Hockey Club has managed to squeeze in a mid-week show to appease the demand from AHC Nation. Since forming in 2017, Amateur Hockey Club has steadily become a fixture in the local pop-punk and emo scene, cranking out quality material and sharing the stage on many of the top bills with local showcases. Fans of Hot Mulligan, Knuckle Puck, or Microwave would be into this one.

Touring in support of his late 2024 release, Saratoga, the retro revivalist will be playing an intimate show at famed Americana bar, Sportsmen’s Tavern. Eddie 9V’s aura emits and old-soul vibe, however the singer’s break into the music scene is still in it’s first decade, with the band’s sound crafted, tested, and perfected in the mid to late 2010s.
