Daffo — Lodge Room 12-15-25
Daffo, with Horsepower. Indie rock that makes the messy interior monologue feel sharp, tender, and loud. On the last night of their tour, Daffo fought through the flu to deliver a set that hit—tight, full, electrifying. Halfway through, frontperson Gabi Gamberg admitted they'd nearly canceled, voice still raw but presence unshaken.
Horsepower, Charlotte Weinman's NYC sibling duo, opened with stripped-down intimacy. Mid-set, they stopped to check on someone in the crowd struggling, waited for security to bring water. Between songs: "We have merch, including a shirt that says 'I love Horsepower and Hate Cops!!!'" The crowd cheered. Of course, I grabbed one. Both bands ran their own merch tables after, keeping close to their DIY roots.
