The Haunt Opens for Starbenders at Preserving Underground (Sat., 7/1/23)

Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is a lovely and mostly tranquil beach community. However, there is a gathering musical force that has been steadily rising out of that town—the alt rock band, The Haunt. Composed of the talented, visually appealing, and goth-like brother and sister team of Anastasia Grace Haunt and Maxamillion Haunt, the band rocks hard with a melodic richness. After performing together for a couple years Anastasia and Maxamillion released The Haunt’s first self-titled EP in 2017. Its success led to a tour, as opener, for the fashion-rock band, Palaye Royale. In 2021 they released their sophomore EP, Social Intercourse. They have also supported The Struts and The Hu on tour.

This year The Haunt signed with Nettwerk Music Group and has been releasing a steady stream of hot, new singles including “Shake,” “This Won’t Go Over Well,” “I’m Done,” and “More.” Each song has been accompanied by a slick looking and well-produced music video. Their latest single is the just released, “More.” See out story and interview with The Haunt.  The Haunt is opening for another southern band, Starbenders, who are from Atlanta. Also on the bill are Lylyth and Hope for the Worst. 6:30 p.m. Preserving Underground in New Kensington. 1101 Fifth Ave.
