Experience SHEBAD live on July 18th

SHEBAD is scheduled to perform at Stanczyks in Durham, North Carolina on July 18, 2026. SHEBAD’s musical style blends elements of post-punk, noise rock, and art-punk, often characterized by angular guitar work, driving rhythms, and distinctive vocal delivery. Their sound draws comparisons to bands like Wire and early Television, while maintaining a uniquely modern edge. The group has released several EPs and a critically acclaimed debut album in recent years, gaining attention within independent music circles for their energetic live performances and experimental approach.

Stanczyks is a longstanding independent venue located in the Durham Bulls Athletic Park area. Established in the late 1990s by owner Steve Garst, it has become known for hosting a diverse range of alternative and underground musical acts, spanning genres like indie rock, punk, experimental electronic music and beyond. The space intentionally maintains a raw, intimate atmosphere; it's notably small with a capacity typically under 100 people. Over the years Stanczyks has cultivated a reputation as a vital hub for both local and touring artists seeking an unconventional performance space and supportive audience. It’s frequently cited as important to Durham’s arts scene.
