Holy F*** ~ Penelope Isles ~ John Deluxe
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry*7 PM Doors7:30 PM ShowHOLY F***A band who have played by their own rules for the last part of 15 years, Holy F**’s new album is the most accomplished moment yet from a group who have become one of their country’s finest, and most influential, exports; seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house’s dreamy ineffability, and expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz that so often sends clubbers into states of unselfconscious rapture.https://www.holyfuckmusic.com/Penelope IslesPenelope Isles are centred around siblings Jack and Lily Wolter, originally from the Isle of Man, and for several years now based in Brighton. They create dynamic blissed-out moments soaked in fuzz-noise waves – their songs fragile yet ferocious. Indie-psych currents meet lustrous melodies with a blend of the sibling’s voices. To support the release of their debut album ‘Until The Tide Creeps In’ they played over 150 shows all over the world, including three tours in the USA. They’ve hit the road with bands ranging from The Flaming Lips to Wallows and The Magic Numbers. Loved by fans, DJs, tourmates and writers, this debut marks them out as one of the most exciting UK bands of the last few years. “Sweltering guitars scorch the earth while summery synths and keys frolic in spaces left between the drum line and spiraling vocals, the riff phrases communicate nearly as much warmth and meaning as the lyrics do.” – Stereogum “There is a grandeur to their songs, big and swelling, ebbs and flows…The whole band is seriously talented, and…seriously rock, too.” – Brooklyn Vegan “…a dreamy but biting piece of guitar pop…soaring, pastoral, highly intelligent songwriting.” – Clash MusicSpotifyJohn DeluxeJohn “Deluxe” Markowski is a guitarist/vocalist based out of Philadelphia who uses samples and a variety of acoustic instruments to create unique avant-pop songs.https://johndeluxemusic.bandcamp.com/

Flasher ~ Mesh ~ Pinkwash
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry*7 PM Doors7:30 PM ShowFLASHERThe band’s 2018 debut, Constant Image, was a triumph – a set of songs both dizzy and explosive, balancing new-wave lushness and post-punk frenzy. Love is Yours steps up the ambition and reaches for the horizon. The record is ablaze with mood, melody, and carefully threaded hooks, finding the band foregrounding the pop sensibilities that had always been present in their previous releases. It retains the attitude that was fundamental to the band’s DIY roots, but cuts loose a touch of the angst. Though the songs process disillusionment and loss, the music evokes warmth and optimism. It is their best record and also their most generous.https://flasherdc.bandcamp.com/album/constant-imageMESHPhilly 4-piece punk band, Mesh, formed in late 2019 building their sound from 3 demos recorded by guitarist and vocalist Sims Hardin (Dark Web). Sims, joined by Allison Durham (posture) on guitar and vocals, Steve Darling (Mint) on drums, and Tom Riese (Mint) on bass have departed from the demos to create something more cohesive and diverse sounding. With the formation of the full band, Mesh’s sound is driven and angular, drawing inspiration from bands like Wire, UV Race and Swell Maps. Their debut tape is being released summer 2021 on Born Yesterday Records based in Chicago. https://meshphilly.bandcamp.com/PINKWASH PINKWASH is a heavy punk duo based out of West Philadelphia. After an EP and 7-inch released on Sister Polygon, their debut LP for Don Giovanni Records is out now. Splintered rhythms and ultra-loud riffs. https://pinkwash.bandcamp.com/

Greyhaven ~ LIMBS ~ The Callous Daoboys ~ Thotcrime
LIMBSLIMBS is a post-hardcore outfit hailing from Tampa Bay, Florida. Originally formed in 2013 under a different moniker, LIMBS released their debut album entitled ‘Dead Ends’ before undergoing a fairly drastic lineup change. After taking eight months for reformation, LIMBS regrouped and released their sophomore release ‘Admission,’ in late 2014, to copious amounts of positive feedback. In 2015, LIMBS toured the DIY circuits relentlessly, and released two independent singles. In March of 2015, LIMBS released the first single entitled ‘Poison,’ again receiving immense positive feedback. Two months later, in May of 2015, LIMBS released their second single of the year entitled ‘Ruin.’ In 2016, LIMBS ventured on a southeastern tour with Saosin and also performed at the South By So What?! Music Festival in Dallas, Texas. The band recorded a 3 song EP entitled ‘SLEEP,’ mixed by Beau Burchell (Saosin) and mastered by Mike Kalajian – released in April of 2017. In 2017, LIMBS joined up with Royal Division Entertainment for management, and soon set out to support Envy on the Coast on select dates in the southeast. Following that, the band trekked across the country supporting Hail The Sun on their nationwide headliner. In September of 2017, LIMBS announced their signing to Equal Vision Records. Their recently released EP, ‘SLEEP,’ has now been re-recorded under the production of Tim McTague (Underoath), remixed by Beau Burchell, and will be re-released by Equal Vision Records featuring new songs not heard on the previous rendition. As the latter half of 2017 approaches a new year, the band has no plans to slow down; a fall tour in support of their re-released EP, and winter recording plans are already set. Catch LIMBS’ energetic performance at one of their upcoming shows, and make sure to stay connected with the band through all social media outlets!

Michael Dreaming ~ Dan Ex Machina ~ Rest Etiquette
MICHAEL DREAMINGMichael Dreaming was born under the shadow of the space needle at some sketchy bus stop on 3rd avenue in Seattle. His debut EP, “27” was slated for release in March 2020. Covid had other plans. Michael loaded up a van and moved cross-country, eventually landing in Philly. Embracing the brotherly love, a project that could’ve easily keeled over, was given new life. Now a five piece band blending basement tapes era folk/rock with 90s style alternative. The sounds are familiar, but they bite. They feel like home, but they feel like outer space. Listen to “27” wherever music is streamedhttps://michaeldreaming.bandcamp.com/ DAN EX MACHINADan Ex Machina began as a solo project 20 years ago and became a full band of alternative/punk rockers in 2011, with two albums and one EP under our belts and a new full-length coming this spring. In the last decade, DXM has shared the stage with Low Cut Connie, Wussy, David Bello (The World Is a Beautiful Place), The Shondes, Tim Fite, Peaer, and countless entertainers in the NJ and Philly indie scene. In 2020, NJ.com named us one of the 31 Best Bands in New Jersey, and Robert Christgau webmaster/Village Voice contributor Tom Hull called Dan “A reliable pop/rock junkie…smart and/or clever,” both of which he is not. We also covered Ariana Grande for a BLM-themed single with all proceeds going to Blackandpink.org, an organization to benefit trans POC prisoners. Our action-packed new “Plead Insanity” video is out now.https://danexmachina.bandcamp.com/REST ETIQUETTERest Etiquette are a folk/post punk band from Philly who just released their debut full length album ‘Grow Mold’ in December 2021. https://restetiquette.bandcamp.com/
