H.R. (of Bad Brains) ~ The Heavy Beat
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 6:30 PMShow: 7:00 PM H.R. (of Bad Brains)H.R. (Human Rights), is an American musician who leads the hardcore punk band Bad Brains, and is an instrumental figure in the development of the genre. His vocal delivery has been described as diverse, ranging from a rapid-fire nasal whine, to feral growling and screeches, to smooth near-crooning or staccato reggae rhymes. He has departed the band periodically to pursue solo efforts that are more inspired by reggae than Bad Brains’ punk sound. The Heavy Beat The Heavy Beat is a five piece band from Philadelphia. Their unique sound is rooted in a deep appreciation for 60s Jamaican music, American soul and rock and roll. Formed in 2007, the band gigged relentlessly for 6 years and took an indefinite break in 2013. Now, after 10 short years, The Heavy Beat is back ready to pack the dance floor once again. Punky Reggae got SOUL! https://theheavybeat.bandcamp.com/ https://www.facebook.com/theheavybeat

Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PM Virginia ManVirginia Man is an emotional folk-and-roll band comprised of Kristian Lietzan (singer/songwriter), Stephen Amoruso (bass/vocals), and Jamaal Farrow (drummer). With poetic lyrics bellowing over the sounds of middle Appalachia, these gentlemen champion the sound of Virginia: a strange suspension between the cardinal directions, musical genres, and the changing of seasons. With lots of new music arriving in 2023, the boys have been out on the road! The live show has become a favorite amongst members and audiences alike, like a sonic rollercoaster, akin to the plot of a great American classic, with gripping performances and storytelling, and celebratory beverages to follow.

AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM BrandishBrandish is a 3-piece crossover thrash band from Philadelphia, PA. They unleashed their first offering, “Stop Hoping, Start Burning”, in the summer of 2023. The 3 song EP is jam packed with lightning fast riffs, harkening back to the glory days of 80’s thrash metal, and politically charged lyrics you might expect to hear on a Propagandhi or early Chumbawamba record. Their latest EP, The Guillotine”, sees them getting more fed up and focused on the task at hand; more dive-bombs and even more dead war criminals. Brandish is here to let you know that while a better world is possible, don’t hold your breath. Just bang your head.https://brandishpa.bandcamp.com/album/stop-hoping-start-burning Freeze MFPhiladelphia rock and roll served cold. https://freezemf.bandcamp.com/ Beef100% Beef.
