Scratchy Blanket

The stereotypical rock musician turns to sex, drugs, and booze for inspiration, but the Pittsburgh duo Scratchy Blanket has much cuddlier muses. Members Shannon and Chloe send out positive vibes with their own sweet-natured, poppy brand of “polite indie rock about cats, seeing your own self worth, and finding inner fire” – in fact, the 2017 album with Boston act, Our Ghosts, was dedicated to three feline friends. The band will release its debut three-song EP Please Love Me during a show at Glitter Box Theater that includes performances by short fictions, Metacara, and The Childlike Express.
