Untidy 20th Anniversary Show feat. Hallway

  • The Lilypad 1353 Cambridge Street Cambridge, MA, 02139 (map)

$15 admission / 5:15 doors / 5:30 start / seated & standing / all ages

On New Year’s Eve 2006, high-school freshmen Ryan, Matty, and Josh played a six-song set for their friends, marking the beginning of the band now known as Untidy. 

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of their first ever show, Untidy is thrilled to be joined by Hallway, another product of Sharon, MA, and an emerging talent on the Boston indie scene.


Untidy

Untidy is a Boston-based power trio formed in 2006 by childhood friends Ryan, Josh, and Matty. They quickly developed a signature indie rock sound built around vocal harmonies and driving rhythms. By 2010, a relentless focus on songwriting and recording propelled them to two wins at their high school’s battle of the bands, a trip to the NAMM show in Anaheim, CA, and their debut album One Small Step for Man under the moniker High Tide. Leaving home for college offered not only opportunities for growth—including a sophomore album Soft Shoulders as Pons—but also diverging interests. A hiatus followed graduation, and eventually all three moved out of state.  

Post-pandemic returns to Massachusetts reunited the friends and reignited their songwriting chemistry. They reintroduced themselves as Untidy in January 2025 with the release of their comeback album Where Have You Been?, chronicling lessons learned in their decade apart. That momentum has carried into 2026, with a return to live performances and the release of singles “Turn the Corner,” “Evensong,” and “Need.” A fourth album is due for release in early 2027.

Hallway

All from south of Boston, the members of Hallway all met in school, where their love of music connected them, yet they would not form together until after they had all graduated. While attending college on different sides of New England, the group has been writing and performing. During the breaks and Summer of their first year together, the group has been able to create an energetic and vibrant music scene in the surrounding area of their hometown. Additionally, their fanbase is growing and strong. Hallway’s nostalgic and powerful melodies are led by Gabe, lead guitar, and Tanvi, lead vocals. Felix, Rhythm guitar and vocals, provides a good foundation for the songs’ clean and dynamic rhythms along with drummer Declan. The last addition to the group was Bassist Joey, rounding out the group's deep and grounded sound. Songwriting has maintained to be a collaborative effort for the band. Claiming lots of influence from 2000’s era indie bands, Hallway takes the powerful essence of Indie Rock and balances it with the cool and warm tone of a female fronted rock group. 

On May 19th, 2023, Hallway released their first single to the public, ‘Rookie / Metal’.  On October 6th, 2023, Hallway released their second single, ‘Last Time’. Their EP “Codas” is out as of April 24th, 2026.
