Deep Sea Peach Tree ~ Tennis Courts ~ Frankie Mermaid
**All events 21+—Valid ID required for entry**Doors: 7 PMShow: 7:30 PMDeep Sea Peach Tree Deep Sea Peach Tree is the music project of New York City native Kristof Denis, with the help of friends Andrew “Deli” Dell Isola, Wiley Watson and Zack Pockrose. Self-described as “sleepy surf rock // aquatic sleep rock”, they blend a garage sound with influences from jazz standards, shoegaze, surf rock, and the occasional electronic sound. They also find themselves to be a “sleepy surf rock” band in New York City, a place not known for its surfing, and famous for never sleeping. Deep Sea Peach Tree thinks it’s long overdue for a nap, and as a surfer who grew up in New York, the melding of the city and the New York surf scene is a constant source of creativity for Kristof and the band. They’ve shared the stage with artists such as Current Joys, Lunar Vacation, Tonstartssbandht and JW Francis, performing mainly throughout New York City and Brooklyn, but also in D.C., Boston, Los Angeles and colleges throughout the northeast. They plan on exploring more of the U.S. and touring in 2022 after releasing their sophomore effort, Certain Thoughts, independently via AWAL on July 8th, 2022.https://deepseapeachtree.com/home Tennis CourtsTennis Courts is a rock and roll band out of Brooklyn, NY led by singers/songwriters/very good pals, Patrick Walsh and Andrew Clarke. The duo met while attending college in Charleston, South Carolina and began writing songs together soon after. Inspired by everything from indie rock bands of the 2000s to folk singers of the 1960s, the group spent their formative years playing in living rooms, backyards, and basements. With the unwavering support of their friends, those rooms soon turned into sold out shows across the city. With dreams of broadening their horizons, the duo packed up their things and relocated to Brooklyn, NY at the beginning of 2022. Equipped with a brand new record and road dog dreams, the band has big plans for the future. Whatever happens, Tennis Courts is showing no signs of stopping.http://tenniscourts.bandcamp.com/Frankie MermaidFrankie Mermaid is an indie rock band formed right outside of Philadelphia at Rowan University in 2021. Consisting of 3 members: Matt Stypa, Vincent Foley, and Grant Halliday; Frankie Mermaid was formed after bonding with each other over their love of bands such as Joyce Manor, Wallows, Pinegrove, and Deal Casino; all bands they would cite as influences. This band thrives on putting on a great live performance, and as the band is currently finishing up recording their first EP, they can’t wait to show you what people can hear on streaming services before the end of the year.
Giraffes? Giraffes! ~ Black Dirty ~ Good Game
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 6:30 PMShow: 7:00 PMGiraffes? Giraffes!Guitar and drums duo GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! have been making fiercely unique music since their explosion into the San Francisco Bay area in 2005. Their mostly instrumental, odd-time compositions quickly grabbed the attention of listeners worldwide and their second album ‘More Skin With Milk-Mouth’ is a quintessential math-rock album. With every new release, they continually make music that is both melodic and technical, experimental yet accessible- and the result is an experience that is both transcendental and incredible fun.https://www.giraffesgiraffes.com/ Black DirtyI can’t stop thinking about being shut off and the void.

Drunks with Guns ~ THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET ~ Kilynn Lunsford
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7 PMShow: 7:30 PMDrunks With GunsSt. Louis’ least favorite punk rockers get together to do some shows, have some drinks, and sell some swag – after 30+ years of jerking off.Drunks with Guns began in 1984, in the Missouri city at the junction of two great rivers, the Mississippi and the Missouri, first settled by French fur traders in 1769. A random, intricate network of ancient caves, formed from the erosion of underground limestone deposits, snake beneath the city. Aided by ice harvested from the rivers in the winter, their greatly reduced temperatures gave early brewers a cool place to store their wares long before refrigeration.Fast forward to 2022: mouth Michael Doskocil, guitarist John Zeps, bassist Naptown Tex, and drummer Weasel Walter, will be playing a few select dates in support of the release of the band’s first three recording sessions. Titled Fucked Up On Beer & Drugs, all fifteen tracks (four previously unreleased) have been gloriously remastered by Weasel himself, and will be available in one place, for the first time ever and in their entirety. An EP of new recordings is in the works, along with the release of a six song set from 1986. Recorded live at the band’s Hellhouse, it was recently found at the bottom of a closet and has been meticulously remastered by radioactive chimps for you dining and dancing pleasure.THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTETSpearheaded by twisted Australian guitar legend STU SPASM of LUBRICATED GOAT, CRUNT, and THE BEASTS OF BOURBON, THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET were originally formed for an afterparty celebrating the New York City premiere of AMPHETAMINE REPTILE documentary THE COLOR OF NOISE.”It was obvious I must assemble a supergroup of the finest noise rockers New York City had to offer . . .” says Spasm. First choice was basher extraordinaire “BLOODY” RICH HUTCHINS, veteran of such explosive musical exports as LIVE SKULL, OF CABBAGES AND KINGS and RUIN. Next, SKELETON BOY of WOMAN was recruited. “Who, just as LEADBELLY was the King Of The Twelve-String Guitar, is himself The King Of The Two-String Bass.” Then came the twang, with the addition of suave slinger ANDREA SICCO of TWIN GUNS. “When our guitars merge, it forms a most piquant aural melange.” In a nod to the latter half of his birth name, STU SPASM now became ART GRAY, and an entirely new mess was born.THE ART GRAY NOIZZ QUINTET have recently been witnessed onstage opening for kindred spirits such as THE SCIENTISTS and MUDHONEY, and 2019 saw them survive a successful tour of the West Coast. Catching the eye of No Wave Queen LYDIA LUNCH led to teaming up for a collaborative musical effort, and sharing a few stages including bookending the pandemic, with one of the last shows of 2020 NYC before lockdown hit, and a triumphant return to the boards in July 2021.https://www.artgraynoizzquintet.com/ Kilynn Lunsford

The Silver ~ Honey ~ Quiet Man
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMThe Silver Featuring Matt and Jamie Knox from renowned death dealers Horrendous, Enrique Sagarnaga of acclaimed Philly doom squad Crypt Sermon, and Nick Duchemin, The Silver sounds almost nothing like the members’ other bands—and that’s completely on purpose. The Silver’s debut, Ward of Roses, is an album that deals in blast beats as much as romanticism, Ward of Roses progresses through movements that draw from black metal, goth rock, and other bleak expressions. Matt Knox’s soaring clean vocals mingle with cathartic guitars while vocalist Nick Duchemin howls over strident blast passages—often in the same song.Listen HereHoneyCrossover Thrash Metal from South Philly.

Yellow Ostrich ~ Bathtub Cig
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PMYellow Ostrichhttps://yellowostrich.com/ Bathtub CigBathtub cig is the intimate depression pop project of Hilary James. Born in a Minneapolis bedroom the spring of 2017, it is an honest attempt at coping with her long struggle with mental health. She is joined by Dave Power on drums, Skyler Nowiski on bass, and Adelyn Strei on guitar, synth and harmony. Their 2018 debut EP “Old Light” draws comparisons to a synth-pop version of Frankie Cosmo with raw lyrics. 2021 Ep “bed” is both a dream-like and hazy musing on quarantine as well as a heartbreaking attempt to cope with grief. In a departure from James’ first full band EP “Old Light”, this new release is a stripped down solo voyage. Hilary is joined by Addie Strei (Adelyn Rose) on clarinet, flute, and bass to create beautiful textures to balance out the loneliness of the electric guitar. Their debut full length “Night Blindness” is out now on all streaming platforms!https://bathtubcig.com/
Taking Back Indie
**All events 21+ — valid ID required for entry**Daft Punk meets The Black Parade Misery Business meets Midnight City Helena meets Helena Beat On Saturday July 30th at Kung Fu Necktie, Fame Lust brings together Indie nights and Emo nights in a way Philadelphia has never experienced before. Tigerbeats was the original indie night in Philly. MakeOutClub was the very first “emo night” anywhere in the United States (started in Feb, 2011), and created the blueprint for every other major city in the US to follow. Mr. Brightside brought Indie nights back into Philly’s mainstream. Events like My Chemical Slow Dance (Emo Prom), Scene Queen Halloween, and New Years Emo, continue to raise the bar and show that there are “emo nights” and then there are Emo EVENTS. It’s time to combine all the best parts of those experiences into something new, fun, and different. Fame Lust presents:TAKING BACK INDIE (2000’s emo + indie) 10pm – 2am at Kung Fu Necktie Must be 21+$5 cover before 11pm.$6 advance tickets available at www.Kungfunecktie.com Whether you wanna Dance, Dance (Yrself Clean) or you just wanna MakeDamnSure that You Look Good On The Dance Floor, tell all your friends where you wanna be on Saturday July 30th.
