The Pinky Rings (farewell show), Die Mart, Guiding Light, fifi knifefight

When: Sat., March 7, 9 p.m. 2026
Gather in good mourning for the Pinky Rings’ final nail in their breakneck punk rock coffin. The fourpiece gave us seven short years of seething, abrasive onslaught, with unvarnished cuts forged from relentless full-throttle riffs, unforgiving vocals, and a viscerally raw stage presence. Post-hardcore outfit Die Mart will read the group’s last rites, grounding the grief-stricken room in thick basslines and tension-drenched restraint. Pallbearer duties fall to art-rock ensemble Guiding Light and glam-soaked provocateurs fifi knifefight, hauling the night toward its final reckoning. Funeral attire is strongly encouraged; the pit will handle the eulogy. – Miranda Garza
