Now back with their new album Cobra Poems you can expect a live mixture of old and new favourites done with The Outfit’s signature energetic and emotive form of rock and roll.http://www.danielromanomusic.com/ CARSON MCHONE Carson McHone is a songwriter from Austin, Texas.

mc chris ~ Crunk Witch
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry*7 PM Doors7:30 PM Showmc chrismc chris (always intentionally spelled lowercase) is having a moment. You’ve probably already heard of him or heard him; you just don’t know it. His voice is playing most nights on Adult Swim. Thanks to streaming, his shows (Sealab 2021, Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and many more) are finding their way to new audiences and die-hards alike. Thanks to Disney+’s The Book of Boba Fett, his lyrics have found their way into most articles about the show, into most YouTube reviews of the show, into most Fett oriented Twitch and TikTok videos. His lyrics are just part of language because he’s influenced a generation. Twitter personalities and huge companies are getting in on the act, even X-BOX was dropping some mc chris lines in recent tweets in response to Fortnite’s Boba Fett DLC. He has become an integral part of the zeitgeist. His fans call him legend, icon and king. He’s thought of as a game changer. His influence on comedy, animation and rap is unparalleled. It’s almost as if all red strings stem from the efforts of mc chris as he pioneered things like Adult Swim and Nerdcore. These days he’s a single dad coming out of Covid and divorce with a determination to do what’s best for his son who he cares for full time. For two long years he has not been able to tour, cutting short a successful and groundbreaking 15-year run, but now that Covid restrictions have eased, mc is going back out one more time. Join him and Maine based Crunk Witch as they make their way across the country for another go, bittersweet as it may be. He will be appearing in Adult Swim’s “Aquadonk Side Pieces,” later this year and his 19th release “King in Black” will be coming out in conjunction with his tour. Catch him while you can! Who knows when and if he will return. https://mcchris.com/(Photo: https://www.mandeejohnson.com/)CRUNK WITCH The husband and wife electro-pop duo from Maine that make bangin’ beats and rad parties a reality!!https://crunkwitch.bandcamp.com/

Their sound is a unique and inebriated take on a time-tested formula: aggressive punk rock with soaring melodies coupled with lyrics ranging from that of the sad sap to the indignant atheist with a bevy of homespun dick jokes.https://elwaytheband.bandcamp.com/THE HOLY MESSExisting within the framework of a musical landscape where saturation and ladder climbing is at an all time high, and where their community has become the new what next, The Holy Mess reside comfortably, feet up on the couch of life, not even giving half a shit.https://fucktheholymess.bandcamp.com/TEENAGE HALLOWEENQueer power pop from Asbury Park.https://teenagehalloween.bandcamp.com/
Screamcloud ~ Dog in a Man Suit (EP Release) ~ Broke Body at Kung Fu Necktie
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry*7 PM Doors7:30 PM ShowSCREAMCLOUDscreamcloud is a band that loves all things heavy: baritone guitars, noisy riffs, and songs that explore the existential dread that comes with modern life.https://screamcloud.bandcamp.com/DOG IN A MAN SUIT (EP RELEASE)Dog in a Man Suit’s latest EP, Trapped!, is a fuzzed-out ode to their reckonings with age. The EP sees the band’s shared love of 2000s emo collide with influences like The Pixies, Queens of the Stone Age, and The Strokes. Thematically, the EP deals with the malaise and uncertainty so many 20-somethings face as they stumble ill-prepared out of adolescence. Much like the name of the band itself, it addresses an internal schism of identities outside of one’s control.https://doginamansuit.bandcamp.com/album/screamingBROKE BODYBroke Body is an auditory cocktail of punk, psychedelia and nostalgic rock and roll, shaken and served in the bowels of Philadelphia.https://brokebody.bandcamp.com/album/bleed

Quarters of Change ~ Frend
QUARTERS OF CHANGEQuarters of Change is the Lower-East-Side quartet leading the charge on New York City’s rock resurgence, and redefining what it means to be a rock star. You may have recently discovered them as the end credit performers on Netflix’s acclaimed “RACE” docu-series, but their origins go back much farther.Composed of Ben Acker, Attila Anrather, Jasper Harris, and Ben Roter, Quarters of Change started in 2017 as a high school cover band, performing iconic rock songs of the 90s and 00s. It wasn’t until their junior year that they began writing original material, pulling influence from groups like The Strokes and Rage Against The Machine, and creating their own original sound. Within a year, the band had signed a deal with Warner/300 Entertainment, released streaming favorites like “Kiwi,” and played sold out shows at renown venues like Bowery Ballroom and Webster Hall.Now, armed with a record deal and an undeniable slew of songs, Quarters of Change is poised to be alternative rock’s next big thing. Keep an eye out for their self-written debut LP, Into The Rift, with contributions from legendary producer Tom Lord-Alge, coming Spring 2022.https://quartersofchange.com/FRENDPost-hardcore heartbreak. Melodically screaming about hard feelings over angular hooks and heavy grunge. Its v cathartic for everyone involved.https://frendtheband.bandcamp.com/
Brittany Ann Tranbaugh (EP Release) ~ Emily Drinker
BRITTANY ANN TRANBAUGH (QUARTER LIFE CRISIS RELEASE SHOW)Brittany Ann Tranbaugh (pronounced TRAN-baw) is an award-winning singer/songwriter based in Philadelphia, PA. Originally from the Lehigh Valley area in PA, she kicked off her music career as a teenager playing at Godfrey Daniel’s, one of the country’s only remaining bona fide folk listening rooms. She has since performed all over the US and Canada in theaters, living rooms, basements, bars, coffee shops, backyards, and on festival stages including Firefly and Philly Folk Fest. You can expect to hear a new EP produced by Jackson Emmer and entitled “Quarter Life Crisis Haircut” in April 2022. In this new batch of memorable and thoughtfully crafted songs, she tackles a wide range of topics including her sixth grade queer awakening, an awkward run-in with an old acquaintance, and the impossibility of true folk music authenticity in this day and age. At times witty and sarcastic, at other times heartbreaking and raw, the EP undoubtedly showcases Tranbaugh’s finest work to date.EMILY DRINKEREmily Drinker blends folk, pop, and rock with a kickass backing band and soulful 3-part harmonies through live looping. Emily has been featured by NPR Music, played at Firefly Music Festival, and toured in Colombia and around the United States. In 2020 and 2021, she hosted a livestream series called Every Cent Concerts to support local artists during the pandemic. In addition to her busy performance schedule in Philly and its surrounding areas, Emily also does some work as a session vocalist. A song she co-wrote and sings on has been played several times on CBS’ The Young and the Restless. In 2022 Emily will release a new album.
