almost monday

Almost Monday is an American indie pop trio from San Diego, California, appearing at Scala, a London venue that mainly stages pop, rock and indie concerts. The act's musical identity rests on its band line-up and recent albums.

Almost Monday is a trio from San Diego, California, made up of vocalist Dawson Daugherty, guitarist Cole Clisby and bassist Luke Fabry. Their debut album, DIVE, came out in 2024, and its single “can’t slow down” became the band’s first number one on the Billboard Alternative Airplay chart. The group's second full-length album, THANK GOD IT’S ALMOST MONDAY, was shaped by a stretch of personal loss and upheaval, which Daugherty has described as both the high point and the hardest period the band has lived through.

The band wrote the new record without a fixed plan, aiming only to capture what felt honest to them. The songs reach a greater emotional depth while keeping the lighthearted outlook that has run through their earlier music.

Scala, a venue that mainly hosts concerts in pop, rock and indie, also holds club nights and other live events. This concert therefore sits within the venue's usual programme for listeners who follow indie pop.
