Hot Mart (EP Release Show) ~ The Coral Gables ~ Austin Albright
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:40 PMHot MartHot Mart is a Philadelphia based band comprised of Danielle Bruno, David Skovron, Danny Provencio Jr, Austin Albright, and Andrew Gerber. With their first single “Guess I’m Just Like My Mom,” released in August 2022, they exposed their alternative, goth, and punk influences that call to mind the sharp, heart wrenching lyricism of The Cure’s Robert Smith coupled with turbulent riffs akin to The Clash. Hot Mart explores many topics in their music from the fear of expression and trauma to bordering the line of sanity and intrusive thoughts. Their first self-titled EP, released in December 2022, unveils their eclectic mix of styles from the love ballad “Pretty Kitty in the City” to the off kilter, dissonant anthem “Sanatorium.”Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/artist/0hg5sbkMPq0G9Pboma92txHere is a music video for our single “Guess I’m Just Like My Mom”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZivaAeuZ8o&ab_channel=HotMartBandLinkTree: https://lnk.bio/hotmartband The Coral GablesThe Coral Gables are a rock and roll trio based in New York City and formed in 2021. Since then, they have developed a rich body of original work, creating a unique fusion of old school country-influenced indie rock characterized by tasty guitar licks, groovy bass lines, tight drum fills, and witty lyrics that leave listeners entertained, emotionally devastated, and, in some cases, deceased. In August 2022, they released their first EP, ‘Moral Fables’, containing five of their favorite songs, including early singles “When’s It Gonna Stop?” and “King of Being Down on His Luck”.http://www.keepitcoral.com/Austin AlbrightAustin Albright is an indie musician of sorts from the woods of Philadelphia. The small, often overlooked parts of life find refuge in his music as he speaks to their peculiarities. From the monotonous repetitiveness of small talk to the lifespan of a goldfish, no topic is off limits. His songs have been compared to artists like Parquet Courts and Kevin Morby for their rough-around-the-edges vocal delivery and indie flair. While the guitars of David Skovron and Dan Shade create a lush wall of sound, Albright’s driving bass unites with Tom Flamm’s pounding drums to create garage rock with a Philly flair. His latest EP, “Living Room Life” released November 3rd as Albright and his bandmates look towards the future.https://svenjorgensonsjollyjams.wordpress.com/https://www.instagram.com/aus_ight/

Dune Rats ~ Chastity ~ Uncle Dan
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMDune RatsFour albums in, Dune Rats are still finding new ways to connect with the creative chaos that is at the core of their music. The band, beloved for their carefree and no-holds-barred approach to rock music, have demonstrated time and time again that a formula for memorable music and longevity doesn’t need to be overcomplicated. The secret to Dunies’ success lay in the band’s unshakeable dynamic and their unabashed love for music that just makes you feel good. With Real Rare Whale, Dune Rats take this simple formula and kick it up an extra few notches – the final output representing a new phase for the group; perhaps their most ambitious and cohesive collection of work to date.ChastityBrandon Williams makes resonant songs that capture isolation and resilience. As the songwriter behind Chastity, the Whitby, Ontario musician has made three unrelentingly perceptive albums culminating in the cathartic Suffer Summer, which is out January 13, 2022 via Deathwish and Dine Alone Records. The LP caps off an album trilogy that showcases both Williams’ emotional range as a lyricist but also his boundless love of outsider music. His 2018 debut Death Lust pulled from Unwound and The Smashing Pumpkins as he grappled with mortality while 2019’s Home Made Satan dealt in world-weary anxiety and Hum-like atmospherics. But Suffer Summer is a meditation on happiness, channeled through powerhouse riffs and undeniably potent choruses, sung with Mineral and Jimmy Eat World worn on his sleeve. It’s an album that shows how healing and staying content is hard but necessary work.Uncle DanUncle Dan is:Shawn Wiseley – VocalsMitch Millard – Bass / TrumpetChalie Robinson – DrumsEric Mohrmann – GuitarJohn Guastavino – Guitarhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GqFrg0LwB8amgVpUMp5q8?si=qlkHKFEvSA-8daH7fPbkug&nd=1

French Police ~ Strange Weekend

French Police’s single captures the seduction of dancing in romantic, cavernous spaces filled with fog and a promise of eternity.https://www.instagram.com/frenchpoliceband/https://open.spotify.com/artist/75vqTLIltGApfI0NxcsJaCSTRANGE WEEKENDStrange Weekend is a high energy indie rock group channeling 2000s alternative through driving drums, aggressive basslines, and dancy distorted guitars.
