Career Tomboy plays “alternative classics and deep cuts”

That means we play…

  • classics from the alternative era (1990s, 2000s)
  • alternative picks from the classic era (1960s, 1970s, 1980s)
  • deep cuts from any era, including current bands you aren’t listening to… yet

Our sets are eclectic, meaning everyone will hear something they love and something they will love as soon as they hear it for the first time.
