Cannery Hall

An indie dance party for the ones who still romanticize a scratched iPod, American Spirits, and a blurry night soundtracked by bloghouse and post-punk revival. All Your Friends is at The Mil at Cannery Hall on 29 May 2026, bringing the sweat, synths, and nostalgia of the early 2010’s house party.
This is your basement-floor flashback to tight jeans, smudged eyeliner, and nights that felt like a house show turned afterparty. Expect a high-energy dance floor fueled by indie sleaze classics and remixes you forgot you loved, from LCD Soundsystem and The Rapture to Foals, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, TV on the Radio, MGMT, Crystal Castles, and more. No frills, just bodies in motion.
Whether you never left the Lower East Side or just miss the chaos of that era, All Your Friends is a night dedicated to bad decisions, blown speakers, and the soundtrack of your favorite forgotten memories. Come ready for the sweat, the noise, and the party your Tumblr warned you about at The Mil at Cannery Hall.<a href="https://eventvesta.com/events/143243/t/tickets" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">View Tickets</a> &amp; More info

Harken Hall

Multiplatinum recording artists Matthew and Gunnar Nelson, the twin brothers behind the iconic music group NELSON, embody the enduring legacy of America's most extraordinary show business family. As the seventh generation of entertainers, they continue the traditions of excellence and integrity that have characterized their family for over 120 years. From the moment they burst onto the scene with their self-penned debut album, "After The Rain," Matthew and Gunnar Nelson captivated audiences with their striking good looks and trademark long blonde hair. However, it was their exceptional songwriting and commercially savvy rock sound that catapulted them to stardom, solidifying their status as third-generation torchbearers of the Nelson family legacy. Their hit single "(I Can't Live Without Your) Love and Affection" secured the Nelsons' place in the Guinness Book of World Records as the only family in history to achieve number one record status in three successive generations.
They have written and performed one number one and five top 10 singles, garnered four number one MTV videos, sold over five million records. Born into the iconic Nelson family, whose matriarch and patriarch were none other than actress Harriet Nelson and bandleader Ozzie Nelson, Matthew and Gunnar were destined for greatness. Their father, the legendary Ricky Nelson, rose to prominence as one of the most influential rock artists of the '50s and '60s, selling over 100 million albums and earning a well-deserved place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
2025 saw the twins featured enter the DC-Universe, when they appeared in the hit HBO series finale for Peacemaker.Director James Gunn strategically named the episode “Full Nelson” as an homage to the brothers, and the titular character ‘s (played by John Cena) love of music. The twins’ self-penned What Happened To Your Hair ? (Permuted Press) is not just a gripping story of double-edged fame but a testament to resilience and authenticity. It’s a book not just for music and entertainment fans but for anyone who believes in working hard to achieve their dreams, no matter what the world throws at you. It’s a powerful reminder that facing challenges with courage and compassion is what truly defines success.

Marathon Music Works

Dance Gavin Dance Post-Hardcore Where most bands erroneously claim wholly distinct identities, Dance Gavin Dance truly defies categorization. The Sacramento based outfit possess the kind of artistic compass shared with broadminded but heavy metal &amp; hardcore-punk rooted iconoclasts like The Mars Volta and Coheed &amp; Cambria, but use it to diverge wildly, charting a new course that incorporates the melodic screamo of Thursday or Taking Back Sunday, with a taste of the earnest pop melancholy of Death Cab For Cutie.
The current &amp; most definitive incarnation of Dance Gavin Dance is responsible for half of the band’s albums.
There’s the angelic &amp; R&amp;B infused highs of the sweet voiced Tilian Pearson; the unhinged guttural growls &amp; chaotic screams of cofounder Jon Mess; the dizzyingly unpredictable arpeggio-led guitar crunch of cofounder Will Swan; the soulful poly-rhythmic backbone of longtime bassist Tim Feerick; &amp; the mind-blowingly powerful nuanced foundation laid by drummer and cofounder Matt Mingus.
Now more than a dozen years on from their inception, Dance Gavin Dance celebrates an insurgent career, in the tradition of iconoclastic artists from Frank Zappa to Nirvana who did what they wanted, how they wanted, confident that an audience would catch-up. Eight studio albums deep, a thriving fanbase champions the band’s irreverent diversity &amp; propulsive power.
The Fall of Troy Post-Hardcore The Fall&nbsp;of&nbsp;Troy&nbsp;is a musical force that has been pushing&nbsp;the&nbsp;boundaries&nbsp;of&nbsp;math rock since their formation in 2002. Hailing from Mukilteo, Washington,&nbsp;the&nbsp;band first made waves with their 2005 album "Doppelgänger", which showcased their signature blend&nbsp;of&nbsp;technical proficiency and raw energy. Over&nbsp;the&nbsp;years,&nbsp;The Fall&nbsp;of&nbsp;Troy&nbsp;has continued to evolve, exploring new sonic territory and challenging&nbsp;the&nbsp;very notions&nbsp;of&nbsp;time and structure. With each new release, they have cemented their place as one&nbsp;of&nbsp;the&nbsp;most innovative and daring bands in&nbsp;the&nbsp;world&nbsp;of&nbsp;math rock.

Meaningful online conversations with strangers on Zoom that don't leave you drained. We use question prompts to spark unique convos.
You may expect this event to run from 7:00 - 8:15pm ET/ 6:00 - 7:15 pm CT/ 5:00 - 6:15 pm MT/ 4:00 - 5:15 pm PT. Please be aware of time zone differences.
About this event ***You'll need the event URL, so be sure to register in advance so we can send it to you. We'll send you an e-mail with the Zoom link a few minutes after you purchase a ticket (and we’ll also send it again the day of the event)-- please check both your “spam” AND “junk” folders if you don't see it!***
----
These Zoom events are designed based in psychology research to give you all the warm fuzzy feelings of human closeness, without that feeling of Zoom-fatigue afterward.
We use question prompts and a structure designed based in psychology research to help you get vulnerable with strangers in a way that actually feels safe, and that brings out the best in people.
All our events are trauma-informed and facilitated by folks with therapeutic training. According to our surveys, a lot of our guests report feeling nervous about coming, but 100% of the people who say they were nervous also end up saying they were glad they came. There might be some selection bias going on, but we still think it's promising :)
We even had an academic paper come out about our online events showing that they improve mood and reduce loneliness! Check that out here: <a href="https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5827683e6a49634bd84b79f4/t/614cfad6e033d105a07cc40f/1632434903586/preprint-28002-submitted.pdf" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://static1.squarespace.com/static/5827683e6a49634bd84b79f4/t/614cfad6e033d105a07cc40f/1632434903586/preprint-28002-submitted.pdf</a>
What's it like? The whole thing is on Zoom.
We'll put you into pairs in breakout rooms, and you'll switch partners so you're not just talking to the same person the whole night.
We'll give you question prompts to spark conversations to make sure you're getting the most out of your conversations.
Some examples of our research-backed prompts are, "What's something you're proud of that you don't usually get to share with people?" And, "What's something I would need to know about you in order to be friends with you?"
But if you hate our prompts, you'll always be invited to make up your own or talk about whatever feels right.
What do people say about it? Here's some stuff people have told us (unprompted!) about the online Skip the Small Talks:
"I was surprised at how good this was! I'll definitely be coming back!"
"This has turned into my weekly self-care-- going to this event every week is something kind I do for myself to stay sane."
"I'm an introvert, and to be honest, I even think of myself as someone who generally hates other people, but I actually feel energized after Skip the Small Talk online. For some reason, I feel Zoom fatigue in pretty much every other online interaction, but I'm usually, like, giddy after these."
Ready to skip the small talk with us? After purchasing a ticket, you can expect an e-mail with the Zoom link to arrive within a few minutes (and we’ll also send it to you again on the day of the event). If you don't see it, check your spam folder!
Please do your best to arrive a couple minutes before 7:00 pm ET/ 6:00 pm CT/ 5:00 pm MT/ 4:00 pm PT if you haven't been to one of these before so you don't miss the intro, but feel free to come late if you need to-- you'll still be able to participate just fine!
If you've come to an online Skip the Small Talk before and would rather skip the intro, feel free to come at 7:10 pm ET/ 6:10 pm CT/ 5:10 pm MT/ 4:10 pm PT.
Skip the Small Talk is dedicated to providing an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone. Check out our safety policy here: <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fmhxMcSsdgkQYOZQZoUKC3DK511fDl3pcPyShB22W9s" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1fmhxMcSsdgkQYOZQZoUKC3DK511fDl3pcPyShB22W9s</a>
Need accessibility accommodations? We are happy to offer Zoom captions and/or live ASL upon request. Due the use of one-on-one conversations in breakout rooms during the event, we request at least five days' notice to make sure we are able to provide an ASL interpreter for each person who needs them. Sometimes, we can provide an ASL interpreter on shorter notice, so even if it's closer to the event, please reach out to info@skipthesmalltalk.com so we can discuss what we can do for you.
We encourage guests to do what they need to in order to feel as comfortable as possible during the event, like taking breaks, eating, stretching, using fidget tools, getting up and moving, leaving early, etc.
