Diva Bleach at the Raccoon Motel -- October 7.

Wednesday, October 7, 7 p.m.

Raccoon Motel, 315 East Second Street, Davenport IA

With their 2025 debut Can You Keep a Secret? hailed by New Noise Magazine as "full of high-quality production and catchy choruses," the pop/rock/punk outfit Diva Bleach headlines an October 7 concert at Davenport's Raccoon Motel, New Noise adding that the outfit's first LP is a "fully realized creative vision" that "effectively modernizes pop-rock while still maintaining its fun, colorful elements."

As stated at InVogueRecords.com: "Rising from Phoenix, Arizona, Diva Bleach is a creative and energetic pop-rock band that offers a new sound of vibrance and nostalgia to the genre. The duo, made up of vocalist/bassist Sydney Roten and guitarist Brie Ritter, began their journey when they crossed paths while taking music lessons. Quickly forming a bond that led to the creation of Diva Bleach, the infectious duo shares stories of heartbreak, friendship, and everything in between, channeling their experiences into music that feels like a heartfelt conversation.

"Since then, the band has been turning heads and winning the hearts of listeners with catchy and memorable tracks that bring a nostalgic feel to the pop-rock genre. Their live shows are electric, earning them spots on notable stages at events like For Lovers Fest with Turnover, Sleeping With Sirens, Hawthorne Heights, Bayside, and Red Jumpsuit Apparatus. With fan-favorite songs like 'Torn In Two,' 'Kiss Her Goodbye,' and 'We Don’t Talk About It, they’ve established a unique sound that brings their listeners back for more.

"Drawing influences from artists like Beach Bunny, Hey Monday, Taking Back Sunday, Tonight Alive, and The Veronicas, Diva Bleach infuses their music with a modern pop-rock vibe while drawing inspiration from the iconic sounds of the ‘90s and 2000s."

Diva Bleach perform their headlining engagement in Davenport on October 7, admission to the 6 p.m. concert is $19.84, and more information and tickets are available by visiting TheRaccoonMotel.com.
