The Rare Occasions are an LA-based, New England-bred indie rock band known for their

explosive garage rock anthems with catchy vocal harmonies.

The Rare Occasions formed in Boston in 2012. Since then, they have toured nationally, won the

John Lennon Songwriting Contest, and released a vast catalog of music online.

In 2021 the band released their album, Big Whoop, which received significant press and radio

play. Around the same time, their 2016 track “Notion” went viral on TikTok and continues to

make waves, topping Spotify’s viral chart in the US and several other countries, and later

landing on Billboard’s alternative charts and top 100 singles charts in the UK, Ireland, and

Canada.

They released their 3rd LP, Through Moonshot Eyes end of 2024. They’ve garnered radio play

across the states, and even in the UK for the new album and completed a national headlining

tour to support it.
