Sweetboy ~ Jake McKelvie & the Countertops ~ Chris Eichlin ~ Bristoltooth

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMSweetboyAnna Barnett and Jon Flores followed a typical trajectory of the closet artist: each wanted to passionately pursue music for a career when they were teens, but each put those dreams away when secure, 9-5 jobs came knocking after college. That is until 2018 when they met on Craigslist and started collaborating after their day jobs. Their early works, like “North Dakota” and “Build You A House,” present the unique balance between Jon’s classical piano training and Anna’s background in English literature and storytelling. They began to play at open mics around NYC, added on more band members, created some demos, and as the momentum grew, they started investing more and more of their energy—and their whole selves—into the music. In 2019, Sweetboy was born, and in October 2023, they released A Day in the Park, their first album culminating years of steady song crafting and faith.https://open.spotify.com/artist/3KotnRYOW5EFR5cfsa4KTT?si=EMA2pas_R-mS9wd2MlACQQJake McKelvie & the CountertopsOn A New Kind of Hat, the new long-player from Massachusetts’s own Jake McKelvie, indie-rock melodicism slow dances with alt-country ramble. A kind soul that’s just a touch world-weary, McKelvie’s careful economy of language belies a sly sense of humor set against a backdrop of unadorned instrumentation. Thematically, the record strikes the perfect balance between serious musing and whimsy. With his band of in-the-pocket players at his side, McKelvie has crafted a record that is equally at home in the listening room as on the dance floor. Eminently engaging and full of nuance, A New Kind of Hat is a record destined for a treasured spot in your collection. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Hd5B36qOoLcEo30HeGloF?si=BuRQ0Y8-SU2XUbAKoN3mLwChris EichlinLoving, Sweet, and sometimes melancholic like a last goodbye hug – the alternative folk of Chris Eichlin radiates through the unfurling landscape of an ever changing life. Welcoming the inevitable. Though love and loss is rather cliché for a folk singer, he also finds comfort in the personal solace of the artistic ebbs and flows. His melodic, detuned fingerpicking whispers the influences of Alex G, Father John Misty, Bon Iver, Nick Drake. Eichlin is a frequent collaborator and band member to Ryan Morro (Sci-Fi Godfather).https://open.spotify.com/artist/5yoJihpu7Usezp0NHslFOx?si=h0kzCa9SRvupabj-sHXFAABristoltoothBristoltooth is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Low Hum ~ Val Fleury

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PMLow HumLow Hum, the kaleidoscopic creation of native Hawaiian artist Collin Desha, lives in a Lo-fi meets Hi-fi futurism: Blending fuzzed-out riffs, oceanic tranquility, and pop sensibilities, alongside melodious synths and honeyed vocals. Low Hum’s mesmerizing exploration into the sounds of the yin and yang as we live it is a journey through psychedelic soundscapes and grounding lyrical concepts that call to our courageous self; to face the unknown. Desha, who has carved out his niche in the indie rock world, continues to shape Low Hum’s distinct sound and identity on the latest offerings from Terra Incognita, upcoming full length album due May 2024 via Last Gang Records. Consequence of Sound likens “Only If You Say So” to “a cut from an alternate universe where Thom Yorke went a more club-friendly route with his electronic work. With falsetto vocals and ominous synth pads, the tune sets up a visceral and futuristic vibe that explodes into fuzzed out madness. Its a compelling, dynamic, deeply satisfying composition.” The consummate Low Hum bass synth tone and ripping riffs on opening track “Meet Me In The Sky” are instant welcome-to-the-show earworms, and “Hints” touches on what it means to human, the nature of reality, and the power of love in a forever uncertain world. Since the release of debut album Room to Breathe in 2019, and follow up Nonfiction in 2021, Low Hum has also garnered praise from tastemakers like NPR, KCRW, Clash and Relix Magazines, with Flood Magazine describing the music as “floating in similar sonic atmospheres as Tame Impala and High Fidelity legends, Beta Band.” Fan favorites “Comatose” “Nebraska” and “I Don’t Know Me Like You Do” have garnered tens of millions of streams on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Music, and Low Hum has played to thousands on tours spanning Europe, Canada, and the US. Currently on the road with Meltt, and upcoming dates on the east coast dates supporting Ra Ra Riot in May. https://www.low-hum.com/Val Fleuryhttps://www.iamvalfleury.com/

Forever Grey ~ Faux Fear ~ New Desires

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMForever GreyForever Grey is a darkwave band from Los Angeles, California. The first album was released in 2015 and was titled Poems About Eternity. Young & Cold Records produced Autumn Calling, Alabaster Chamber, Departed and Sympathy Garden on vinyl. Kevin and Anna are the artists behind musical projects Milliken Chamber, Prudence and Belladonna Grave.https://forevergreyband.wixsite.com/forevergreyFaux FearDetermined to “stop repeating the boring parts of the past,” goth/post-punk trio Faux Fear formed in late 2020 shortly after singer/drum programmer Audrey (she/her) and guitarist Nicholas (he/him) moved to Reading, PA. As true Cocteau Twins scholars they won’t play pop without the prefix “dream-” in front of it. Laying the groundwork for a new band in late 2020, the married couple wrote songs and developed their sound in quarantine at home for “when human interaction became a thing again.” An initial third member became convinced that Audrey and Nicholas were working for the CIA and running a sex cult (really), which almost left Faux Fear as a duo before the Philly-based Pra (he/him) answered a Craigslist ad and completed the picture on bass. Like their darkwave forebears, Faux Fear’s offerings like “Uncharted” and “Legacy” maintain a tricky balance between atmosphere and propulsion. The trio balances the stillness of reverberating specks of guitar with thick slabs of bass and drum machine as Audrey coolly explores the space between with her calmly intense vocal lines, smoothing over even the unexpectedly dissonant chorus of the latter and taking on a whole other dimension. “Code of the Sea” is as oceanic as its title and somewhat akin to folding the rippling waves of vintage Slowdive in with New Order’s most magnetic repetitive hooks.https://fauxfear.bandcamp.com/New DesiresSince 2010, DJ Paul T has been an integral part of DJSC, a revered event night in Philadelphia that pays homage to the iconic sounds of Depeche Mode, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, and The Cure. This specialized focus not only underscores DJSC’s dedication to celebrating the enduring legacy of these bands but also highlights Paul’s deep-seated appreciation for the foundational pillars of post-punk. As a co-founder along side John D, Paul T has cultivated a community of enthusiasts who share a passion for these groundbreaking artists, creating a vibrant space where nostalgia and contemporary soundscapes intersect. DJ Paul T’s career, spanning over two decades since he began DJing in 2000, has been marked by a constant pursuit of musical evolution while staying true to the roots that inspired DJSC’s inception. With the launch of “New Desires,” he expands the musical repertoire of DJSC beyond its original focus, embracing a broader spectrum of genres, including modern post-punk, dream pop, dark wave, new romantic, and FM synth-based music. This initiative reflects his ambition to explore the boundaries of music and to offer his audience a more diverse listening experience.https://www.djscphilly.com

Chance Emerson + Theo Kandel ~ Grace Gardner

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMChance EmersonChance Emerson is a 23-year-old, Taiwanese-American singer-songwriter originally from Hong Kong and now residing in Providence, RI. Whilst enrolled as a student at Brown University, Emerson steadily built up a loyal fanbase amongst both college and indie/folk rock audiences at large through an unrelenting release & touring schedule which saw him sell out countless headline shows as well as support more established artists including Johnnyswim, Eli Young Band, Lawrence, Ripe, Blues Traveler, Brett Dennen and even Nancy Wilson’s Heart! His recently released 10-track album, Ginkgo, exquisitely showcases the many reasons behind his swift ascent from dorm-room troubadour to nationwide touring phenom; a rise driven as much by his fellow Gen Z/TikTok-engaging peers, as by firmly established artists who have invited him to support them on tour. Ginkgo, which is 100% self-written and produced entirely by Emerson’s good friend Jack Riley, was written “to trace the cyclical nature of young love and was done experimentally in ‘real-time,’ meaning the love songs were written when I was in love, the heartbreak songs were written in times of immense pain, and the songs about rebuilding and falling again were written, well, just a few months ago” explains Emerson. “Ginkgo had to take that long because it took that long for me to get there. I put pen to paper in each phase of my growing up to chase the truest depiction of love and loss I could muster.” The album’s first track House We Share – a song about what happens when two people who are in love take the plunge and move in together – has already crossed over 1 Million streams and received support in many areas, including features in Spotify’s powerful ‘Dinner With Friends’ and ‘Next Gen Singer-Songwriter’ playlists. https://www.chanceemerson.com/Theo KandelWith bold, witty lyricism that brings you to that liminal space between laughter and tears, Theo Kandel has been described as “a modern-day James Taylor, albeit slightly scruffier and a good deal shorter. But maybe also sexier.” (Source pending.) Having amassed over 160k followers across social media and 8M+ worldwide streams, Theo continues to shout into the void, leaving his own fingerpicking-tinged musical fingerprint as he goes. Originally from New York City, he spent six years honing his chops in Nashville before moving to Los Angeles, where he is currently based.Grace GardnerRaised on the outskirts of a Texas city, now living in Philadelphia, Grace Gardner is pushing the boundaries of the singer/songwriter genre. While her music adopts many of the genre’s characteristics, she’s found inspiration in her parents’ taste in 70s and 80s rock, in the folk roots of her southern upbringing, and in the indie-storytelling she found herself returning to most. Taking it one step further: producing all of her own music allows Grace to maintain a personal, authentic touch in each of her pieces. Her lyricism is evocative and emotional, poignantly penning about the joys and tribulations in relationships, in recovery, and in her identity — typically backdropped by fingerpicked acoustic guitar and intricate production. Her inspirations are eclectic powerhouse writers from the 1970s — Carole King, Stevie Nicks, and Joni Mitchell are her “Big 3.”
