The Regrettes @ Levitt Pavillion

The Regrettes helped close the summer concert series at Levitt Pavillion on Spetember 22nd, 2023. To begin, The Nova Kicks hyped up the crowd for this free show before our headliners took the stage.

The Nova Kicks

Colorado raucous band ‘The Nova Kicks’ bring a destructive sound wave of distorted grooves and soul in the shape of a high energy performance. Writing personal to impersonal songs that bring awareness to the beauty and tragedy of the human experience. The band holds close to their influences in Rock n Roll and punk music. Additionally, they destroy the notion that a band should stick to one genre. They are strong believers that using their influences is to expand on an idea, not re-create it. ‘The Nova Kicks’ do just that.
