We hear every anxious giggle. We take every single one and cradle it in our hands and translate it into sound. We arrange these sounds into music for you. There are five of us. We are a loud band born in a concrete room in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We were born to howl, but we crave silence. And YOU’RE LAUGHING. When will you ever stop?https://www.instagram.com/yourelaughing_Bacon Egg and CheeseBacon egg and cheese is a group of musicians from philadelphia who are also good fwends! Hesitantly, they deliver fuzzy and awkward garage rock with poignant, heartfelt lyrics regarding the experience of being self-described underachieving loners. Citing inspiration from acts like Pixies, Weezer, Blink 182, Nirvana, the group manifested from the notion that rock n’ roll can still be fun and for everyone. We found Casey hanging out in public restrooms. See if you can spot the former child-star! I need help. I have reason to believe that the FBI is after me.
Elita ~ Pink Blush
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: 8:00 PM Show: 8:30 PMElitaGrowing up in Cupids, Newfoundland, Canada, a town of less than 800 people, Elita spent most of her childhood in isolation. With encouragement from her parents, she developed artistic skills in photography, drawing, dancing, singing and music. She changed high schools frequently as a teenager. Feeling removed from friends, she found comfort in social media, where she began gaining a following on instagram in 2015, and began modeling. In 2017, Elita launched her own business, designing zines and a few years later, a weapons jewelry line. That same year, she met her boyfriend, Tim. Although Elita hadn’t engaged in anything musically since she was a teenager, Tim recognized her musical potential and encouraged her to start singing again. The couple recorded a cover of ‘After Hours’ by the Velvet Underground. With a growing interest in the cinematic arts, Elita focused on writing a movie script with Tim (to no success). However this attempt at collaboration led to them writing their first single, ‘I Hate Everyone But You’ (2018). They had no intention of making the song public, but after recording a test demo, they decided to release it. Tim concentrated on writing more songs with his bandmates, and sending these instrumentals to Elita who would write lyrics and perform vocals. This collaboration led to the eventual recording and release of Elita’s debut EP, ‘Sick Girl’ (2019), which was followed by the ‘Blood Sucker’ (2020) and ‘Anxiety Angel’ (2021) EPs. The projects combined have over 30M streams.Pink BlushPink Blush is an electrifying indie alternative rock band based out of Philadelphia, PA. Composed of Amber Lewandowski, Jordan Phipps, Joshua Hayes & Jake Soojian, Pink Blush strives to create catchy melodies & honest lyrics paired with powerful guitars & drums that make you want to move your feet.
deadyellow album release show
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 PM Deadyellow Esoteric Black Metal from Philadelphia. A distinctive blend of beauty and brutality, the music is inspired by post-rock and discordant black metal, with incorporations of shoegaze and dark ambient noise. In reference to the aura of rot and decay, and reflecting the hues of earth, Deadyellow lends realization to the motif of darkness and melancholy. Lyrics explore themes of death, loss, philosophy, and self-identity, often drawing on personal experiences and emotions.https://linktr.ee/deadyellowGenital ShameGenital Shame, experimental black metal from Pittsburgh, PA is the one-person project of Erin Dawson. Touring for “Chronic Illness Wish,” her first full-length, she’ll be accompanied by a full-band, the Chicago post-rock three-piece, Stander. Veering from heavily distorted tremolo picked guitar and distant propulsive drums to gentle, bedroom pop ambience, Genital Shame is a queering of the sonic traditions and musical form of black metal. It is, in Dawson’s words, “an interrogation of how far you can get towards breaking those rules without it becoming something else.”https://genitalshame.bandcamp.com/Stander Stander is a trio restless in their pursuit to unearth new avenues for crafting heavy music. Their compositions unfurl beyond the more rigid confines of genre and subvert tropes with surprising shifts in phrasing, meter, and tone. Dramatic peaks give way to cavernous space before reigniting into serrated tendrils of feedback and chaotic surge. Guitarist Mike Boyd, bassist Derek Shlepr, and drummer Stephen Waller invoke and infuse their curiosity and an abundance of stylistic touchstones into idiosyncratic pieces tempered by keen, deliberate musicianship. Vulnerable is an unflinching reflection on emotional volatility and fragility, from existential dread to stagnance, incalculable grief to unbridled bliss.https://stander.bandcamp.com/musicLástima Lástima is a blackened screamo band from Philadelphia, PA that incorporates musical elements of latin music, classical, black metal and emo.

Ceschi Ramos ~ Crazy & The Brains ~ Myles Bullen
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 PMCESCHI RAMOSAn engaging, theatrical live performer, Ceschi Ramos has treated entire venues like a stage, viewing the middle of the audience or an empty barstool as good a place as any to perform a soul-baring folk song or tongue-twisting rap track. He knows what it is to suffer for his art and is aware that music exploring the ugliness and sorrow of the human condition will always exist on the fringes of a game dominated by disposable escapism and expensive publicists. Yet he still pours everything he has into his craft, and on any given night you can find him tracking vocals at his cousin’s New Haven studio, warmly greeting fans and friends at a dive bar merch booth or rapping double-time in Japan or Europe for audiences that often don’t speak his language, but are able to see the giant heart at the core of it all. He has been in bands described as hardcore, crunk rap, lo-fi synth pop, Latin progressive and psych-jazz-rap. He has crafted abstracted and personal narratives mining the depths of depression and heights of hope. He has slept on countless floors when hotels weren’t in the touring budget and lost girlfriends and jobs all for the love of creating and performing. Ceschi was born with four fingers on his right hand, which served as partial inspiration for the name of his DIY record label, Fake Four, Inc. Those who have worked with him describe Ceschi as one of the most artist-friendly labelheads out there, a rare breed who values art over profit almost to a fault.ceschiramos.comhttps://ceschi.bandcamp.com/IG @ceschiramosTwitter @ceschifacebook.com/ceschiramos Crazy & the BrainsPunk rock, New Jersey.Website Myles BullenMyles Bullen (they) (Absentee Shawnee) is a self-described “migratory, songbird, rap seamstress, art poet” hailing from Portland, ME.

Calva Louise & Vukovi w/Stellar Circuits
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: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PMCalva LouiseCalva Louise is a multicultural British band from Venezuela, France and New Zealand, aiming at London’s underground live scene and driven by the creative vision of Jess Allanic since their beginning, end of 2016. They soon started playing iconic festivals such as Reading & Leeds Festival in England, Riot Fest and SXSW in the United States and Rock For People in Czech Republic. With two albums, several EPs, and a handful of collaborations to their name, Calva Louise has gathered support from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, Radio X, Clash, The Line Of Best Fit, and DIY Mag. To date, they’ve toured with the likes of Cassyette, Slothrust, Highly Suspect, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Death Valley Girls, and Albert Hammond Jr. The band self-released their latest mixtape ‘Over The Threshold,’ in December 2023 with 7 impressive self-made music videos produced with Unreal Engine. In November 2023 the band signed a deal with Mascot Records for an album that is set to be released later this year. Calva Louise are preparing for a busy 2024 with worldwide tour dates announced already including Download Festival, Welcome To Rockville & Sonic Temple as well as a co-headline tour in the US with the Scottish band Vukovi.https://calvalouise.myshopify.com/VukoviTwo years on from their critically lauded second album, Fall Better – and a whole load of global weirdness in-between – Vukovi return with a record that is the best distillation of their unique musical vision yet. “NULA is a concept record,” says singer Janine Now a two piece, Janine and guitarist Hamish Reilly have spent these strange two years gone plotting in their Glasgow base as to how best to achieve this. Like any artist who’s toiled over their work, Janine is keen for the record to tell its own story. And yet excitingly, they are planning a novella book supplement to the record down the line. “I’ve always been into sci-fi,” Janine says. “Growing up I loved Star Wars, The Fifth Element, Alien and sci-fi was an escape from the pain. I could sit in my bedroom and look out the window and know that there was something so much bigger going on. That’s what I want this album to be for people. An escape.” “We were probably always going to end up doing something like this,” laughs Hamish. “I grew up obsessed with bands like Rush and Dream Theatre, so music that tells a story has always been something I’ve been into. I think there’s always been a sci-fi element to Vukovi too, or at least a cinematic one.”Stellar CircuitsFormed in 2015, Stellar Circuits emerged to combine the conceptual polarities of groove-oriented music with progressive-minded technicality. Over the quartet’s lifespan, they’ve managed to fulfill their own prophecy, formulating a core sound that is complex and layered, while providing a listenability that extends well beyond the rock genre. Visceral, intellectual, groovy, technical, and melodious are rarely indicators that can all be used to describe the aural essence of one band. In the case of Stellar Circuits, the rare combination makes a striking and definitive appearance in all they do.
