Yes Mat! Michael Cera Palin

On 29 August 2026, the MAT Urban Laboratory in Terlizzi (BA) hosts YES MAT!, an evening that brings together emo, indie rock and punk featuring Michael Cera Palin (USA), Tonno and Flowers for Boys. A stripped-down, direct lineup designed for those seeking songs that bite and lyrics that linger.

MICHAEL CERA PALIN (USA)
Arriving from Atlanta for their only date in southern Italy. The trio, rooted in Midwest emo, alternates bright, shimmering guitars and nervous breaks with introspective songwriting that doesn’t avoid weightier themes. The set will draw on tracks from Growing Pains and I Don't Know How To Explain It, weaving personal imagery with an emotional urgency that translates into taut, immediate indie rock.

TONNO
Tonno call their music “normal,” but inside it’s a sharp mix of indie rock, emo punk and sarcasm. Their lyrics observe everyday unease with clarity and irony, backed by direct vocal lines and spare rhythms: the live show flows like a stream of consciousness, unadorned, with the guitar holding the thread between melancholy and sudden jolts.

FLOWERS FOR BOYS
Melancholic melodies and guitars wrapped in an emotional haze, alternating shouted crescendos and suspended pauses. A set that plays on the contrast between fragility and impact, bringing emo into a personal, visceral space.
