Sweeping Promises

November 13 at 7pm

At Union Stage

Southwest Waterfront, Washington

Reviewers note the sound setup is aggressive for the smaller space, so earplugs are recommended.
Visitors advise that the standing room gets packed tightly, making it harder to reach the bar once the show starts.
Reviewers mention heading downstairs and staying to the right for easy access to the stage area.

Art-punk urgency drives Union Stage as Kansas-based duo Sweeping Promises bring tracks from You Say I Romanticize to the waterfront venue for a single evening performance.
