BASEMENT BAR

Pretty Sick is an American indie rock band based in New York City. The band consists of vocalist and bassist Sabrina Fuentes, drummer Eva Kaufman, and guitarist Benjamin Arauz. Although the band has maintained a long-standing presence and a dedicated fanbase, particularly in the Lower East Side of Manhattan, they gained recognition from major publications such as i-D, Nylon, and Pigeons and Planes in recent years. In May 2020, Pretty Sick signed with the British record label Dirty Hit, which is known for acts including The 1975 and beabadoobee. The group has performed mainly in the New York City area and more recently in London. In February 2021, they produced the theme song for the ongoing variety series, Story of my Fucking Life, created by Manon Macasaet. Their debut album, Makes Me Sick Makes Me Smile, was released on Dirty Hit on September 30, 2022. Following the album's release, Pretty Sick supported it with a 23-date headline tour across the United States in October and November 2022. Sabrina Fuentes has also acted in films such as Salamander Days (2023), directed by KJ Rothweiler and Rebekah Sherman-Myntti.
