Radiator Hospital is best known as the music vehicle of singer-songwriter & Michigan-turned-Philadelphia transplant, Sam-Cook Parrott. A writer of often hazy, yet equally adhesive, pop poetry which lay like a soft blanket across fuzzed out, whatever-fi acoustic/electric guitars and eclectic accompaniments. Radiator Hospital has a sound made for DIY basements, living room shows and couch sesssions, while endearingly catching a ride atop their swarms of fans on a decade plus ascent into fervent rock clubs. Sam-Cook Parrott joins Boonton Coffee Presents to showcase a night of acoustic songs and we couldn't be more psyched to have him on this double bill. Radiator Hospital released two albums in 2023, a self-released EP called Watching a Fire, as well as the full-length, Can't Make Any Promises via Salinas Records.
Marissa Paternoster was the lead singer and guitar player for Screaming Females (2005-2023) who notably ripped up the indie rock world, toured across oceans, garnered interest from NPR, Carson Daly, were raved about by big magazines and small bloggers, all the while just doing what they do with nary a flinch. Marissa, a School of the Arts graduate from Rutgers University, works as a freelance illustrator in Philadelphia while also fronting her new solo, sometimes duo, studio-turned-live project, NOUN. Both Screaming Females and Noun albums can be found via Don Giovanni Records.
