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 PMYoung MedicineRising synthwave rockers Young Medicine pull the best from diverse genres to build a carefully constructed music identity that defies simple categorization. Thumping double-bass beats and crunchy guitar riffs hammer out hard-hitting rhythms while chorus lines partner with sparking retro synth tones for a stunning mix of audio ideas. If synthwave and metal got together and started a boy band, the result might sound something like Young Medicine, who have put themselves on the map as pioneers for a new era by bringing rockstar swagger to the retrowave movement.Danny BluDanny Blu is a dark electro-pop act based in New York City. An electrifying, hybrid powerhouse, he bridges the sounds of industrial and pop through “infectious hooks” and serves up an expansive pop exhibition of fashion, video, and art. Dubbed as the “industrial pop idol” and featured on Billboard, Alternative Press, The Huffington Post, NewNowNext amongst many others; Danny Blu began his career with stunning shock-rock performances in queer nightlife leading to the formation of the band, Echo Black. After an album and several North American tours, Blu debuted his first solo single, “Bubble”, on Billboard Pride. The release of his first EP, “The Pale Horse” would storm the scene with provocative sex-positive singles & music videos and livestream shows throughout 2020. Enlisting the talents of producers MORIS BLAK and Walter Kazmier with the release of his sophomore EP, “MOLOTOV” on SHVDOW Records, Danny Blu solidified himself as “a force to be reckoned with”. In 2023, Blu embarked on his first co-headline tour with MORIS BLAK on “The American Dream Tour” — astonishing audiences nationwide.DarkFlyForming at Drexel in June 2021, DarkFly tastefully fuses elements of hair metal and glam rock.

Kahin released two singles in 2021 followed by his debut six – song EP, LET IT SINK IN , in early 2022 — all recorded in his Dunnville bedroom — that shot him into the Greater Toronto Area’s alternative circles and led the CBC to name him one of the country’s top five “fearless new rock voices.” Cam’s explosive sophomore EP, WHEN IT’S ALL O VER , is the sound of life forcing Kahin to the brink of self – destruction, and the confusing, pendulum swing of the path back to some semblance of peace. Lead single “compass” served as Cam’s Canadian Radio debut on the Alternative and Rock Radio charts, peaking at #34. Singles “birds” and “try again” were met with widespread support from editorial playlists landing on All New Rock, Ready to Rock, New Noise, and New Music Friday .

While HIROE is a newer band, its members are music veterans, with experience touring the United States, Canada, and Japan, in addition to supporting post-rock heavyweights Caspian, Rosetta, The Appleseed Cast, Life and Times, Shiner, Spotlights, El Ten Eleven, and noise rock architects including Autolux, The Locust, Tera Melos, and Sleeping People. HIROE’s debut, ‘Wrought’ was produced by Mario Quintero (Spotlights/Ipecac), mixed by Matt Bayles (Caspian, Mono, Russian Circles, Isis, Pelican) and mastered by Will Yip (Caspian, Circa Survive), resulting in a crushing 5 song debut that showcases a heavy, yet nimble 3 guitar attack, with well-written arrangements, and strong songwriting. The release was met with glowing reviews, making many “Best Of” year-end lists, and was received with enthusiasm by the Post-Rock/Post-Metal community as a welcome new comer to the community, and even meriting a performance slot at this year’s Post Fest (largest Post-Rock festival in America). Drawing inspiration from Mogwai, Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, Sunny Day Real Estate, Isis, Pelican, and Deftones, they create heavy, heart-crushing soundscapes.

Aiming to bring things back to a time where survival was the only thing that mattered and war was imminent with beast or man. Where tools and weapons were constructed by only natural elements, and danger was everywhere. …When it was ‘Thrive or Starve’, and kill or be killed. Pulling influence from the likes of death doom greats like Cianide, Derkéta, Rippikoulu, Autopsy, Coffins and Undergang… while mixing in some unique attributes likened to traditional old school death metal, sludge, and doom. Bone Weapon’s debut release came out on cassette through Transylvanian Recordings February 2023 and on CD through Morbid Chapel Records soon after. The release titled ‘Thrive or Starve’ consists of 3 unrelenting tracks of death and doom guaranteed to make you want to smash a skull on a rock or lick the blood from a fresh spear wound. Bone Weapon are currently working toward their second offering. 3 new tracks of filth-laden doomed death are to be recorded late spring of 2024, with a release date aimed toward early fall of that year. They are currently seeking opportunities with labels for the release of these tracks and opportunities for live events.
