Hispanic at the Disco - Dark Cumbia, Goth, Emo Night

Hispanic at the Disco are playing The Pemberton on Saturday, October 24, with a set that pulls from three very different corners of the record store: dark cumbia, goth, and emo. It's a live session, so you're getting a full band in the room rather than a DJ set, and the bill puts those three styles side by side in one night.

If you're not sure how that works in practice, it's easier to think about the pieces. Cumbia is the danceable, tropical beat from Colombia, but the "dark" part pushes it into moodier, heavier territory. Goth brings the post-punk gloom and the dramatic edge, and emo adds the melodic, angst-driven side of the early 2000s. Putting them together means the night shifts between danceable rhythms, darkwave textures, and the kind of songs you probably spent your teenage years singing along to in your bedroom. It's a broad spread, and the live format lets the band move through those changes in real time.

The show is at The Pemberton, located at 1121 N 2nd St in Downtown Phoenix. It starts at 8 PM, so it's a late-enough start that you can have dinner first and still make it for the first set. Entry is free, which makes it an easy one to drop into without overthinking it.

So, if you're in the mood for a night that jumps from cumbia to goth to emo, you'll find Hispanic at the Disco at The Pemberton on Saturday, October 24, starting at 8 PM. Admission is free.
