SELECT SIX: THURSDAY’S MUSIC PICKS
Our This Is Boise music staff picks for today’s Treefort festivities!
Lounge on Fire
Lounge on Fire
6:20pm | Knitting Factory
“A 7-deep battalion with a brass section, fused from the ashes of indie rock, seductive soul, and sexadellic funk, Lounge on Fire is a cacophony of formidable freaks. Rapid and percussive vocals often combine with dark and hypnotic grooves reinforcing a boisterously brassy fanfare to create a unique coalescence of rock, soul, jazz, latin, disco, hip hop, and funk.“
Tylor & the Train Robbers
Tylor & the Train Robbers
9:30pm | Hannah’s
“Since their official formation in 2014 the Train Robbers lyric-driven blend of roots country and modern Americana has landed them as a favorite among audiences across the country. They’ve remained an independent band and have made a habit of spending more time on the road than off, playing 200+ shows per year and venturing further and further from their home base in Boise, Idaho.”
Street Fever
Street Fever
10:30pm | The Balcony
“Street Fever is a dark seductive techno project within a world full of chaos and destruction. From club beats to breakdowns Street Fever offers a show unlike any other Techno project filled with high energy and live performance art thats sure to make you sweat.“

Deafheaven
Deafheaven

Axiom Tha Wyze
Axiom Tha Wyze
1:00am | Spacebar
“We are a conglomerate of International Hot Dog vendors from Boise, ID that discovered the path to enlightenment through a series of secret methods learned through an ancient desert cult during a temple burning ceremony.”

Coned Pizza
Coned Pizza started as a food cart in 2016 and the first wildly successful food truck soon followed. In 2018, the restaurant opened near the corner of Eagle Road and Overland in Meridian. And in Spring 2021, we opened our second restaurant—this time in downtown Boise. We have 10 kinds of pizza cones , plus you can create your own.

BARBARIAN BREWING
While the rest of the ancient world was sipping wine, the Valhalla-loving brewers at the edge of the known world were delving deep into the hinterlands of taste — funky, sour, and savagely good. Barbarian Brewing honors the traditions of these wild creatures by handcrafting small-batch beers that go beyond the pale of mass-market brews. Beer may be mainstream. But don’t get too civilized.
BODOVINO
“Bodovino in Downtown Boise is a total wine experience. Our guests can take a tasting tour of the world and enjoy a sampling of 144 bottles of wines by the glass through our Wine Emotion machines or choose from over 600 wines by the bottle. Bodovino has the largest collection of Wine Emotion machines in the United States. “
