Nascar Aloe is a boundary-pushing rapper and producer whose raw energy and confrontational style fuse punk chaos with abrasive hip hop, turning underground shows and online drops into a cult following. Raised in a tight-knit Cambodian community in Lexington, North Carolina before relocating to Los Angeles, he built early momentum through self-released tracks and intense live performances that blurred the line between concert and catharsis. With a sound that leans into distortion, off-kilter rhythms, and snarling vocal delivery, songs like “FED UP” and “Anarchy in the US” highlight his ability to turn personal frustration and alienation into anthems that resonate far beyond the scenes that first embraced him. Constantly evolving yet unmistakably himself, Nascar Aloe continues to expand what heavy, genre-agnostic rap can be, attracting listeners who see their own intensity and outsider spirit reflected in his work.

The Kate Bush Listening Party
21+
Sunday, May 31
Doors: 1 pm
Upstairs @ Ottobar
Held on the last Sunday of every month. Playing music by and that vibes with the delightful Kate Bush. Dancing is permitted. Eye contact is encouraged, but not necessary, when speaking your truth.
Further instruction as follows: A quiet space during the week for a respite from the world where you do not need to spend your hard earned dollar. We are only listening to records. Speak if you wish to each other or to your host, Kurt. Consider bringing something to talk about: A crochet project you are working on, a piece of art you admire, a relationship question, an existential crisis. Or nothing at all. Just bring yourself and sit quietly, listening to music.
☕ Tea offered while supplies last ☕
This month: Jasmine!
