Messa ~ Maggot Heart
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 MESSAMAGGOT HEART Two of the European rock scene’s most hard working bands are joining forces for 18 co-headline live dates of the US this fall. Emerging from the Italian Doom Rock underground, MESSA’s expansive and innovative sound has captured the attention of a rapidly growing fanbase. Their latest album, “Close,” (Svart Records) takes listeners on a sonic pilgrimage, with a breathtaking sound that melds the colossal voice of lead vocalist Sara, with Sabbath-y guitar tones and unexpected flourishes of Arabian oudh and progressive solos. “Close” transcends the occult and noir-tinted atmospheres of their past works, encapsulating Messa’s multifarious influences into a singular, breath-taking sound. Based in Berlin, the trio MAGGOT HEART led by Swedish guitarist and vocalist Linnéa Olsson, brings a blend of proto-punk swagger and noise rock jangle. With bassist Olivia Airey and drummer Uno Bruniusson completing the lineup, MAGGOT HEART has become a powerful force in the underground rock scene, known for their cross-over hard rock sound and punk ethos. Building on the success of their 2020 album “Mercy Machine,” the band is set to release their third album “HUNGER” on September 29th, an album that promises to deliver a potent mix of their signature gritty sound and new explorations. As these two genre-defying bands unite for a co-headlining coast-to-coast U.S. tour this fall, audiences are in for a hell of a musical journey. MESSA’s immersive dynamics and MAGGOT HEART’s ferocious energy promise a tour that will push boundaries and deliver a mind melting live experience.
Fullscreen ~ O. Wake ~ Redbud ~ Powerhouse of the Cell
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 Fullscreen When in a spiral, directionlessness prevails. Circling stuck patterns. Gravity settling in with the weight of confusion. Tumbling out of the tumult can either bring harmony or headache. Philly-via-Richmond psych-rock trio Fullscreen emerges from the center of this chaos with Labyrinthitis, their debut full-length following a trail of singles and the whirlwind start to the decade. The group, faced with personal and creative shifts, entered a labyrinth of their own, built in RVA and Philly and mastered by Scoops Dardaris (Another Michael, Prince Daddy & the Hyena). Reorganization led to re-assessing Fullscreen in widescreen—deepening their dream-pop sets with backing tracks and sampling, invigorating their songwriting with a visceral sense of focus and scope. Born out of a battle with the eponymous inner ear infection, Labyrinthitis chronicles a years-long quest to regain one’s balance. This serves as the narrative throughline, but the mission statement of the musical tension as well: a delicate push-pull between psychedelia’s outer limits and the constructiveness of grounded maturity and vulnerability. Fullscreen, on this recording and elsewhere, is Harper McGrath (he/him), Eric Schueler (he/they), Jon Furson (he/him) and Kirby Vitek (he/him). O. Wake Brooklyn mainstay O. Wake is masterminded by visual artist and illustrative musician Ofer Shouval. Shouval’s probing songwriting combines elements of art pop and indie rock to explore the anxieties and absurdities of today’s world through witty vignettes and sweeping soundscapes. With intimacy wrought from vulnerability and a uniquely bashful confidence, O. Wake’s emerging sounds inspire play and movement while evoking a rainbow of feelings. Redbud Redbud is a band planting itself in the heart of the Austin music fan with whimsical, psychedelic tones and meditative, soul-exposing lyrics. They’ve recently supported international touring acts such as The Front Bottoms, Giant Rooks, Magic City Hippies, A Giant Dog, The Duncan Fellows. With a sound described by Austin’s favorite radio station KUTX as “a masterpiece of unearthly arrangements, airtight structures, and a caliber of songwriting we rarely hear from relative newcomers”, you are sure to be swept up in the tide of their innovative essence. Powerhouse of the Cell Powerhouse of the Cell began as a marketing experiment conducted by Keywrb Lab Group for the Monsanto Company in the early 1990s. The goal was to create the illusion of a grassroots environmental movement through false flag TV and radio hijackings with music and visual art. The actions of this group would then be demonized by the general public through opposing media campaigns. Musically, the creators at Keywrb Lab Group took influence from Darkwave, Post-Punk, and Pop music from the 1980s. Lyrically Powerhouse of the Cell would contain themes of environmental destruction, modern day political and social anxieties, science fiction, and underlying feelings of hope. Visually the project would rely heavily on video synthesis as well as pieces of found footage. While this project was ultimately defunded sometime in the early 2000s, there has recently been some documentation of the experiment resurfacing. Performances have been linked to former subjects of the experiment known as 2514 (vocals, guitar, synthesizer), 23519 (vocals, guitar, drum machine, synthesizer), and 1815141425 (vocals, bass, synthesizer).
