Cheekface & Catbite in West Palm Beach

Cheekface is an American indie-rock trio formed in Los Angeles in 2017 by singer and guitarist Greg Katz, bassist Amanda Tannen and drummer Mark Edwards. The band pairs wiry post-punk and power-pop arrangements with talk-sung, densely worded lyrics. Its catalogue includes the debut album Therapy Island, Emphatically No. and songs such as “Dry Heat/Nice Town,” “Listen to Your Heart. No.” and “We Need a Bigger Dumpster.” Cheekface performs as a guitar-bass-drums band, and Greg Katz and Amanda Tannen trade and combine vocals during the set. The trio has mounted headline club tours across the United States and has also played its own shows in the United Kingdom.

Catbite is an American ska-punk band formed in Philadelphia in 2018. Their brisk ska rhythms and punk guitars are heard across the albums Catbite and Nice One, which include songs such as “Excuse Me Miss” and “Call Your Bluff.” At The Fest in Gainesville in 2022, the band joined Laura Jane Grace for a set devoted to Operation Ivy songs. The collaboration returned for another Operation Ivy performance at Riot Fest in Chicago in 2023.
