ivy room presents—THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 24TH—COUP DVILLEJ BROCK AND THE SHAKEDOWNSFAIL SALON—7:00 pm doors / 8 pm showAdvance Tickets Available—IVY ROOM | 21+—COUPE DVILLE—COUPE DVLLE is a pressure-cooked post-grunge garage rock duo with thuggish, trap-bred gritand a sound built to hit hard—then hit harder the deeper you lean in.“Rock” is an oversimplification. At the core is collision. Michael Woodward, forged through rock, metal, country, and worship, collides with Shane Hall, rooted in grungy blues, outlaw Americana, and raw storytelling. Together, they don’t leave an impression—they leave a mark. Permanent. Their bond was built on ’90s hip-hop and gangster rap, fused with grunge and nu-metal—the sounds that shaped them long before they ever shared a stage. That influence runs deep, bleeding into the way they write, groove, and deliver: heavy, intentional, and unapologetically real. COUPE DVLLE’s sound is thick, aggressive, and soul-shaking—music that moves the body, rattles the mind, and lingers in the spirit. Every track carries feel, lived experience, and undeniable charisma. East Coast meets West.Two different paths. One shared instinct.Brotherhood over image. Grit over polish. There are no limits—only the journey. This is COUPE DVLLE.J BROCK AND THE SHAKEDOWNS—Alt PsychBlues Rock from Oakland, CaFAIL SALON—Oakland CA Trailer-Park Punk (Featuring Simone from Hypnotic Pattern)
