Presented by andmoreagain, Sub Urban brings The Bell Tolls Tour to Stanczyks in Durham with Golden Cats. Sub Urban is the creative identity of Daniel Virgil Maisonneuve, a Taiwanese American artist who writes, sings, and produces his own work, recognized for Cradles, an RIAA double platinum track. Since that breakout, he has forged a moody, high voltage strain of dark pop that fuses theatrical, macabre touches with unusual textures and ear catching hooks. Golden Cats brings an indie pop rock sound that mixes nostalgic alternative flavors with crisp pop songwriting and a playful, story led universe. In their first year they surpassed 20 million streams and neared 200,000 followers across platforms while developing their career with the artist incubator Not a Label. Vocalist Laura Dalla, known as Black Cat Girl, and drummer producer Kyle Lenski, known as Retriever Boy, create and refine every song from a bedroom studio. Before teaming up, Laura launched a solo path via a joint venture with Universal Music Group, and Kyle toured as a drummer, building an online following of more than 2 million through viral performances. Their fan community, the Kittens, connects with both the music and the characters, lore, and optimism that shape the Golden Cats world. Their name traces back to a rehearsal for another band when a child’s offhand comment about their contrasting looks sparked the Black Cat Girl and Retriever Boy personas. Tickets are on sale. Admission is $25 in advance and $30 the day of the show.
