Valentine’s 2/14
The Button Factory Stage – Portsmouth, NH
Tickets: $10 advance | $15 day of show
40 Lashes is a New England–bred alt rock with a nu-punk bite. 40 Lashes blends gritty hooks, loud-quiet tension, and cathartic energy. Equal parts emotional release and mosh-ready urgency.
40 Lashes will be joined by Crate and Makeshift Kings, rounding out a full night of local alternative rock at The Button Factory Stage.
The Makeshift Kings are an Indie-leaning rock from the south shore! The Makeshift Kings mix earnest songwriting with dynamic arrangements, balancing their vulnerability and swagger while carving out their own path!
Crate is an alternative rock band from Durham, New Hampshire, formed by students at the University of New Hampshire. With a sound rooted in modern alt-rock and a strong local presence, Crate delivers high-energy sets that balance melody, grit, and tight musicianshipp.
The band has been steadily building momentum in the Seacoast and UNH scenes, bringing an earnest, no-frills approach to alternative rock that translates especially well in an intimate live setting. Their performances are driven, engaging, and grounded in the kind of chemistry that comes from playing together early and often.
