Your Arms Are My Cocoon bring screamo and bedroom pop to Liberty Hall on Nov. 30

Tyler Odom's Chicago project plays a Monday night on Mass Street with February and Sadness. It's three weeks out.

The Monday after Thanksgiving is usually a night for leftovers and a quiet house. This year in Lawrence, it's a night for screaming along. Your Arms Are My Cocoon play Liberty Hall on Monday, November 30, 2026, with February and Sadness on the bill. The show starts at 7 p.m., and tickets are on sale through Ticketmaster.

The date was announced November 3, so this is a quick turnaround: under four weeks from announcement to show. Liberty Hall holds 1,050, and a three-band bill on the last night of the holiday weekend is the kind of show that fills up with people who just got back to town.

Your Arms Are My Cocoon is the project of Tyler Odom, a Chicago musician who mixes two things that shouldn't fit together: bedroom pop and screamo. It started as a solo project and grew into a full live band. The first release was a self-titled EP in 2020, which got the project noticed in the DIY scene. Four years later came the first full-length album, death of a rabbit, in 2024.

Bedroom pop and screamo shouldn't fit together. On a good night, that's the whole appeal.

The live show has been growing. In June, Chicago's Off the Record described the band drifting onto the stage for a hometown headline set at Bottom Lounge, with fans "immediately entranced." The band toured through the fall too, with stops including Albuquerque, San Diego and Omaha in September. Now Lawrence gets its turn.

The support is worth showing up early for. Sadness is a blackgaze project that started 2026 with a West Coast tour and released an EP called *Shimmer*. That's a heavy, atmospheric opener for a headliner who works the gap between whisper and scream. February rounds out the bill.

Liberty Hall is a big room for a bill like this. That's good news for anyone who wants to get in. It means a show built for sweaty basements gets a stage, a real sound system and plenty of space on the floor.

The 7 p.m. start is friendly for a Monday. Get there for the first band, and you'll still be home at a sensible hour for Tuesday morning. If you're a KU student coming back from break, it's a good way to put off thinking about finals for one more night.

Before the show, put *death of a rabbit* on in full. It's the best way to hear how Odom moves from quiet to loud and back again, and to learn which songs will set off the room. Then grab a ticket and plan to spend the Monday after Thanksgiving somewhere louder than your couch.
