You know that awkward week between Christmas and New Year’s where no work gets done and you just want to sit around and do nothing all day? That week when you’re probably a little hungover after treating yourself to a drink after tolerating your extended family? Are you looking for an excuse to leave your mom’s house (and your childhood bedroom) for the day? Look no further, because local pop punk band Old Neon has curated the perfect lineup to help cure your holiday hangover.
