Grunge cover band Hit Eject! plays Albany's Ivy Room Thursday, July 9—$15, 7 PM doors, strictly 21+

Hit Eject! brings their grunge covers set to Albany's Ivy Room on Thursday, July 9, with doors at 7:00 PM and music starting at 7:30 PM. The show is strictly 21+ with valid ID required—no exceptions. Tickets are $15 at the door (cash only), with advance sales also available. The venue is located at 860 San Pablo Ave, Albany.

The bill includes support from The Cretins and a third act still listed as "TBD" on the event page. Hit Eject!—described as "four East Bay dads with nothing to prove"—specializes in 90s grunge covers, making this a straightforward nostalgia trip for fans of the Seattle sound. Their setlist spans the era's heavy hitters: Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" and "Heart Shaped Box," Pearl Jam's "Alive" and "Evenflow," Alice in Chains' "Rooster" and "Would?," plus deep cuts from Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, and Blind Melon.

The Ivy Room's intimate space means there's not a bad spot in the house, though it fills quickly for cover band nights. Free parking is available in front of the Ivy and around the neighborhood after 6pm on weekdays and all day on weekends. The closest BART station is El Cerrito Plaza, about a 15-minute walk south.

The venue runs a full bar with credit cards accepted for drinks, but come prepared—door sales are cash-only, and they don't run tabs. If you've only got two hours, show up for doors to grab a spot near the stage and catch the full arc from opening acts through the headliner's closing grunge deep cuts.
