New York’s Quarters of Change stopped by the Amsterdam Bar & Hall, to bring a punk-rock show to the St Paul audience. Led by Benjamin Orlen Roter, who seems to love basking in the spotlight with his band, featuring Jasper Gee Harris, Attila Lee Anather, and Ben Acker.

We saw the band in Sep 2023 and wrote, “Presumably to show their appreciation to their tour openers (and maybe an inside joke we didn’t all get) Quarters of Change emerged for their main set, all wearing “I Heart NEF” white t-shirts, and they would bring the opener back on stage to help with the set-closing, “T Love” (an ode to the very relatable idea of ‘tough love’) so we think it was a genuine friendship formed between the two acts. In addition to the upcoming album, the Lower-East-Side quartet recently released a deluxe version of their last full-length, Into the Rift and they consist of Ben Acker, Attila Anrather, Jasper Harris, and Ben Roter, whose sound is influenced by classic bands like The Beatles and The Who, as well as more recent alternative acts, RHCP and their own NYC cohorts, The Strokes.”

Virginia-raised, New York-based aldn opened the show. He’s been signed to Geffen Records/Simple Stupid Records, with his debut EP Greenhouse in 2021.
