Doors: 7:30 PM Show: 8:00 PMWayne HancockThomas Wayne Hancock III (born May 1, 1965, in Dallas, Texas) better known as Wayne “The Train” Hancock, is an American singer-songwriter. Known as “The King of Juke Joint Swing,” his performances incorporate jazz, blues, western swing, country and rockabilly, styles of music that he began listening to as a kid. His influences include Jimmie Rodgers, Glenn Miller, Tommy Dorsey, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams and Hank Snow because they were all in his parents’ record collection.Mighty Joe Castro & The GravamenBased out of Philadelphia, PA, Ameripolitan rockabilly outfit, Mighty Joe Castro & The Gravamen is the latest musical project from accomplished collage artist and musician Mighty Joe Castro (ex-The Situation, The Lift Up). Influenced by 50’s Rock and Roll and infused with post modern Easter eggs cribbed from old episodes of MTV’s 120 Minutes, Mighty Joe Castro takes a modern, lyric driven approach to songwriting while The Gravamen layer on Jesus and Mary Chain-cover-Link Wray guitar atmosphere, booming doghouse bass and swinging beats. The quartet lurks at a crossroads where Sun Records and Creation Records meet. According to Joe Castro: “Our goal is to play original rock-n-roll, in the style of the pioneers, but update it lyrically and sonically. Take what we’ve learned, everything great that’s come after and go apply it to that original sound. What if Buddy Holly had access to a stack of effects pedals and some Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds records? That’s the ethos of the band.”https://open.spotify.com/artist/3leEk5CvB7d4Xz45mGq0vY?si=Dpge2xMWSAuAbos1q4uzYA

Bonginator ~ Frog Mallet ~ Body Farm
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: 7:30 PMBONGINATORIn late 2021, guitarist and vocalist Erik Thorstenn started writing demos for a yet undetermined death metal project born from his passion for cheesy 80’s movies and growing weed. Fast forward just one year later, and the band now known as Bonginator has made a crushing impact on the death metal scene. Bonginator is a stoner death metal band based out of Boston, MA, but don’t let the name fool you. Bonginator isn’t your everyday stoner band, they pack a serious punch of hardcore death riffs and gut ripping breakdowns that come together to create an experience that can only be described as “hands-free” if you know what I mean. Bonginator totes the phrase “Two-Stepping Neon Weed Death” as a means to simplify their hardcore, energetic, 80’s inspired weed-infused death metal sound into a cool phrase on a t-shirt. Since the official launch of the band on January 1, 2022, Bonginator has toured the country multiple times and released their debut EP, “The 1986 Doink City Massacre” on April 20, 2022 through Barbaric Brutality. Bonginator anticipates growing even larger with the release of their debut LP, “The Intergalactic Gorebong of Deathpot” which releases April 20, 2023, keeping true to this bands dedication to the crop. Bonginator has already released two singles off the album, “CHOPPED 2 PIECES” and “Zombie Party Rockers”, and the anticipation has only grown since. Bonginator is confident their music will change the game. FROG MALLET https://frogmallet.bandcamp.com/ BODY FARM https://sothisisprogress.bandcamp.com/track/body-farm
American Grim ~ Of The Light ~ Revenants
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 PMAmerican GrimThis New Jersey 3 piece push the status quo with there genre bending sound and in your face vocals. With influences pulled from every realm of the musical spectrum American Grim displays an intriguing arrangement of rhythms and melodies that will keep you coming back for more. Everything they do is intended to transcend what music is intended to be and really take you on a journey inside yourself.Of The LightGreg Telfeian is a 39-year-old male drummer by right that became a multi-instrumentalist singer & songwriter hailing from Bergen County, NJ. He has been drumming, creating, and performing original music since the age of 14. Greg’s most successful accomplishment was with Metal band With Daggers Drawn playing in the metal and rock scene, connecting with loyal fans and opening up for some of NJ and NYC’s top metal/rock acts like Illnino, 40 Below Summer, E-Town Concrete, Coheed & Cambria as well as other national acts like Drowning Pool, Periphery, Hatebreed, In this Moment and Non-Point. (just to name a few). Daggers ended in 2011 that included original members of 40 Below Summer due to personal reasons. Greg then when to create music with Alt prog rock band, Pralaya who came out with an EP, Matter of Time. They played in the scene up until 2020 until fizzling out in 2021 from lack of interest, Covid, and just plain old life. Greg has had tracks featured on SiriusXM’s Liquid Metal and has been approached by metal’s most prestigious label, RoadRunner Records. All though never being officially signed, Greg continues to prevail and understands this is a business. His biggest goal is to reach people outside of his local network, create, promote and release his music with the most effective current marketing strategies that will get the music in front of the right ears. With his newest creation called OF THE LIGHT, you will see that he’s not executing it like your typical band. Of the Light is Greg taking his song-writing skills, musical abilities, marketing, and business development acumen and using it in a collaborative effort teaming up with multi-instrumentalist Zaki Ali to handle lead guitars, some bass, keys, and production duties to really take these powerful songs to the next level. Zaki Ali is also is Engineering everything as well out of Cinderella Man studio’s in North Bergen, NJ. With OF THE LIGHTS upcoming releases, they will be putting out singles that will compile into a full album after 12 Tracks are all released. Look out for exclusive content that you won’t want to miss because he will be documenting the entire process.RevenantsHailing from the NJ / PA area, and having already opened up for names such as Dead Reckoning, (hed) PE, and Brotality, Revenants has begun to make their mark on the live show circuit. Offering their own unique twist to the Nü-Metalcore genre, Revenants gives the listener a full on sonic assault, while also leaving plenty of room for dynamics and melodies. Formed in 2021 by rhythm guitarist Tyler and vocalist Scarlet, they soon met bass player Dan, as well as lead guitar player Chris, and the lineup was fully solidified with the addition of Nick on drums. The band has since been putting the finishing touches on their EP “Dead Inside & Still Alive” while trying to play as many shows as possible.
Carver Commodore ~ Brother Moses ~ Glittersplitter
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 PMCARVER COMMODOREOn their new EP, “If Nothing Happens,” Alabama indie-pop-rockers Carver Commodore ask themselves the question all artists must confront at some point in their careers—if we never “make it”, if nothing happens, is this all still worth it? Formed in 2017, Carver Commodore was a new start for founding members Payton Pruitt and Phillip Blevins after their college band parted ways. They were determined to make music and make it work for them, and since the band’s formation, have added three permanent members (Noah Freeman, Clayton Christopher, David Smith Jr.) and released two full length albums with a smattering of EPs and singles in between. These releases all fall at unique places on the spectrum of indie rock, and after taking the maximalist approach, the band decided to dial things back for their new EP. Pruitt says, “I wanted to write these songs with a much more laid back and stripped down approach. Not in a boring or acoustic way, but in a way that doesn’t sound like we’ve got 53 tracks in the final recording and can’t really reproduce the exact sound live.” Intentionality is the pursuit. However it manifests—in songwriting, recording, touring—Carver Commodore is on a mission to continue claiming their spot in independent music history. “If Nothing Happens” is a snapshot of a band who is not 100% sure where they are going, but they are going, no matter what.BROTHER MOSESGLITTERSPLITTER
