Daffo — Lodge Room 12-15-25
Artist: Daffo; Horsepower
Venue: Lodge Room (L.A.).
Date: Dec. 15, 2025
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.
