The FMs @ Milkies

Milkies is set to host another banger on Saturday with a tight local bill featuring indie scene mainstays Hundred Plus Club, freshly-back-from-a-national-national Orange Dog Club, and buzzing SUNY Fredonia project, Paper Tigers. The lineup also features a set from New York City synth-pop act, The FMs who are in the midst of a regional tour at the moment. The band formed back when high school friends Matte Namer and Frankie Rex officially created the project in 2016. The FMs stock steadily rose into the pandemic which was curtailed by the sudden passing of Rex. Namer has continued the legacy and vision of the act, steadfastly advancing the project’s trajectory and keeping with the theme of queer and transgender motifs in their songs. $10 cover.
