The Velveteers ~ Alex Vile
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 PMShow: 8:00 PM The VelveteersThe Velveteers, a primal rock trio from the mountains of Boulder, CO made up of singer/guitarist Demi Demitro and drummers Baby Pottersmith and Jonny Fig, will unveil their debut album Nightmare Daydream on October 8 via Easy Eye Sound. Produced by Grammy Award-winning artist Dan Auerbach, the record is the long-awaited first statement from a band that formed in 2014 and has been carefully honing its sound and identity ever since. “Charmer And The Snake,” the record’s first single, is out now with an accompanying video. Growing up in Boulder, Demitro rebelled through her guitar, practicing up to nine hours a day and neglecting schoolwork to develop a playing style that is heavy but agile, theatrical but nuanced, grounded in rock history but wholly idiosyncratic. With Pottersmith and Fig playing on a conjoined set, the band developed a reputation for their rip-roaring performances. Clips of the band’s live shows and DIY videos made it back to Auerbach, who invited them to his studio in Nashville to produce Nightmare Daydream. “I instantly dug them,” says Auerbach. “They’re amazing live, and their videos are so creative. And they just sound so powerful. Any time you doubletrack drums on a record, it’s going to sound so heavy. Then you put that together with this baritone guitar player who is so unique, and it’s so bombastic. There’s nothing like them.” Nightmare Daydream finds The Velveteers stripping down rock and roll to its most primal elements—the riff, the rhythm, the snarl—and rebuilding it in their own image. “We don’t want to sound like a band from a different time,” says Demitro. “We want to sound like a band that’s right here right now—in this very moment.” Alex Vile
Igor and the Red Elvises ~ Raisin
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 PMShow: 8:00 PM Igor Yuzov was born in Germany, raised in Ukraine and studied in Russia. He grew up in the former Soviet Union, where folk music was the norm and rock’n’roll was illegal. A rebellious streak, led him to seek out the forbidden music. As soon as it became possible, Igor left Russia for America with his “Folk’n’Roll” band Limpopo, and was personally greeted by Ronald Reagan. In 1993, Limpopo won Ed McMahon’s Star Search and their popularity began to blossom. In 1995, Igor dreamed that Elvis Presley came to him and told him to start playing rock’n’roll. Igor and his Russian friends became Red Elvises and gave street performances on Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade. As their crowds grew larger, the City of Santa Monica ordered them to discontinue their street performances. Evolving over the years, Igor’s music has been labeled “Siberian Surf Rock” which contains humorous lyrics and grooves that forces his audience to dance. Over the past 20 years, Red Elvises have constantly toured all over the world with occasional breaks to record new music and to participate in film and television projects. As an independent band, Red Elvises have produced 12 studio albums, two live albums, a live concert DVD, and a Greatest Hits compilation. Some of their most notable film contributions include music and or performances in “Six String Samurai”, “Mail Order Bride”, “Armageddon”, “Skippy”, “Melrose Place”, “Fastlane”, “Penn and Teller’s Sin City Extravaganza”, “VH-1 Behind the Music”, and “MTV”. Red Elvises have performed for large festivals, private parties, and played on massive stages such as 2005’s Live 8 Benefit Concert. No matter where they perform, Igor & Red Elvises always bring the party with them.

Contour
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 PMShow: 8:00 PM Contour The Charleston, South Carolina artist Contour’s body of work is evidence of a restless curiosity that culminates on his latest album and debut for Mexican Summer, Take Off from Mercy. Starting off as a beatmaker, Khari’s vision has broadened over releases like Onwards (2022, Touching Bass), Love Suite (2021, Good Question) and Weight (self-released/Purple Tape Pedigree, 2021), spanning from noirish, sample-driven R&B to covers of Strawberry Switchblade. Take Off from Mercy eschews samples in favor of guitar-driven songwriting, positing a singular take on the blues, Tropicalia, hip hop, post-punk and indie rock, establishing Lucas as an exemplary lyricist and broad collaborator, working with the likes of Saul Williams, Mndsgn and his co-producer, Omari Jazz. Following the pandemic, Lucas toured relentlessly, recently opening a US run for Erika de Casier and appearing at Pitchfork Festival (Chicago) and Le Guess Who? Beyond his prolific solo output, recent collaborations include Black Decelerant, an ambient duo with the aforementioned Omari Jazz who just released their self-titled debut on RVNG Intl. Lucas also collaborates with the operatic baritone singer Davóne Tines as part of a band called THE TRUTH on ROBESOИ, a performance released by the venerable Nonesuch Records. Contour is a key member of a distinct cohort of young artists weaving the traditions of Black music into thoroughly modern, avant-garde songcraft. Within his work, genres and disciplines collide. Lucas’s radio show for Dublab, Footprints in the Dark, took stock of the deep discographies of foundational figures like Gilberto Gil and Georgia Anne Muldrow. Meanwhile, Lucas has organized readings with the likes of Harmony Holiday and screened films from Black Audio Film Collective director John Akomfrah, and completed artist residencies with NTS Radio and Brooklyn’s Pioneer Works. Within all this activity, Lucas’s sound and voice are immediately recognizable, his flow and declarative honesty heavily influenced by rap. Lucas’s recent live shows with the likes of Billy Woods and Bilal featured him roving the stage singing and rapping over samples before sitting at the piano for downcast, Bill Withers-style ballads. Take Off from Mercy is a document of hard-earned lessons learned while on the move. Omari and Khari worked on the record in Charleston, Portland, NYC, London, Paris, Georgia, LA and Houston, feeding into the album’s themes of transformation through migration. Lucas will follow the fall release of Take Off from Mercy with expanded live tours through the US, UK and Europe in fall 2024. As this flurry of activity suggests, there will inevitably be more records, shows, tours, readings and screenings in the near future. The urgency of Contour’s vision is palpable in this myriad of pursuits.

Marty O’Reilly (Solo) ~ Public Water Supply
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 Show: 7:30 PMMarty O’Reilly & the Old Soul OrchestraExplaining Marty O’Reilly’s music is like describing a dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time unchartered. His songs sound bluesy but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul. Marty’s voice is beautiful and unique, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar, melding beautifully into genre-defying music within the vast definitions of Americana. One can hear an urgency and complexity in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain, real and imagined.https://open.spotify.com/artist/0oFKnXK9fgRpWNyKoJeSOy?si=3UuTnx80SwGHMRj-pFr-PQ Public Water SupplyPublic Water Supply is Rochester, New York’s premier Alt.
