Pretty But Wicked presents Mother Soki at 2220 Arts + Archives, marking the November release of her new album, Act 2, on Mom & Pop Music. The bill is led by Mother Soki, with Girlfriend, Wife opening the night. The listing points to Mother Soki’s pull toward dream-pop textures, framing this as an album-release celebration built around that new record.
Mother Soki is identified in the listing, but the supplied material gives no further biographical details about where she is from, collaborators, or critical response. What it does establish is an artist immersed in music and drawn to dream-pop texture, with Act 2 arriving through Mom & Pop Music in November. With no additional act history or reviews provided, this show is best understood as a chance to hear the new album in a live setting, alongside an opening set from Girlfriend, Wife.
The 2220 Arts + Archives lounge and theater is a volunteer-run cultural center in a converted theater space, hosting experimental music, film, and literature. The room is a modest, intimate space with a stage and seating for a small audience, where the front row is close enough to feel the energy of the performers. The bar is open for 21+ events, offering drinks to accompany the music and conversation. Shows typically begin with doors opening 30-45 minutes early, and the venue operates as a programming cooperative, curating events that reflect its mission of non-commercial, adventurous arts.
