Early Moods ~ Dirty Dealer ~ Blazon Rite

**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Early MoodsThe self-titled full length debut of Los Angeles quintet Early Moods is a marriage of classic underground doom like Candlemass, Witchfinder General, Pentagram, Trouble and Saint Vitus, paired with traditional “big box” Heavy Metal melodies and song structure. These two contrasting aesthetics may seem incongruous, but the skilled musicianship of Early Moods — some of whom have played music together since their early teens — manages to find the perfect balance between grit and gloss.Dirty DealerFormed in 2022, Dirty Dealer brings sleazy 70’s rock ‘n’ roll tunes back to the forefront. Featuring members of Heavy Temple, Serpent Throne and Narcos Family Band, this 4-piece Philly based collective injects scumbag riffs back into the current rock landscape.https://dirtydealer.bandcamp.com/Blazon Rite Hailing from Philadelphia and formed in 2019, Blazon Rite delivers a slab of Epic Heavy Metal that gives nods to many classic bands we all know and love while maintaining a distinct level of originality and unpredictability. Their style conjures intricate and lengthy hymns about war torn heroes, adventures into mystical and unknown lands and the strength and valor needed to defeat enemy foes wherever they may pass. This is not straight forward NWOBHM, Blazon Rite invites the listener into uncharted heavy metal territory with whimsical riffs and synth laden songs, similar to bands such as Slough Feg and Early Blind Guardian. The quintet is comprised of vocalist Johnny Halladay, guitarists Jim Kirn and Pierson Roe, bassist Devon Graham and drummer Ryan Haley. Prepare for battle! https://blazonrite.bandcamp.com/album/endless-halls-of-golden-totem
