11 Days a Week: Jan. 15-25, 2026
Dark dream pop project SRSQ kicks off 2026 with a new single “Born Alone, Die Alone” and a brief West Coast tour which includes a return visit to Reno. SRSQ (pronounced seer-skew) is the moniker of singer-musician Kennedy Ashlyn, who first made waves as half of the shoegaze duo Them Are Us Too. After the loss of her musical partner Cash Askew (one of 36 people who died in the 2016 Ghost Ship warehouse fire in Oakland, Calif.), Ashyln forged ahead with SRSQ, pouring her heart into her debut album Unreality. Half-jokingly calling her music “griefwave,” SRSQ’s second album, Ever Crashing, established her as a rising star in the darkwave/ethereal pop genre. SRSQ, with support from Dream 99, Spitting Image and inpatient, performs this Friday, Jan. 16, at the Holland Project, 140 Vesta St. The all-ages show starts at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance or $15 at the door.
