Shimmer

(Playlist post attached in the video! Every year, we aim to play as much holiday/wintry shoegaze music as possible during December’s Shimmer. We had such a lovely crowd that enjoyed our vibe, so we kept the theme for the entire night! Thank you to everyone who came out and a massive amount of thanks to DMen Tap for being our host venue for 2025. We look forward to more Shimmer parties there in the new year!)
