D.R.I. ~ Deathwish ~ Roadkiller
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM D.R.I. We are a punk/metal crossover band with our roots set in hardcore. Established way back in 1982, we have about 10 CD’s & 2 DVD’s out on various labels and are considered to be one of the forefathers of speed metal and thrash punk music. We started out in Texas and moved to the Bay Area cause we heard the SF area had free food at the soup kitchens (from which the classic tune was written!!!!!)When we started our influences were bands like Black Flag and the Dead Kennedys. In 1982, our first release, which was really a demo, the 22-song 7″ EP, kickstarted our career as a formidable hardcore band. 22 songs in 17 minutes. Blistering fast, with on-the-dime cuts, and vocals to match. Said to contain the first grindcore blast ever recorded (No Sense). This record was later pressed into an LP, and was considered to be our first official release even though it was only 17 minutes. The 22-song debut eventually was combined with our second release, 1984’s Violent Pacification EP, and came out on CD in the mid-eighties, when that technology reached indie labels.In 1985 we started to listen to bands like Metallica & Slayer. Our second full length release Dealing with It, showed a progression to the metal side of the music genre. This album also was said to make an impact, and helped start the crossover movement. “We fused together our influences, and shoved into the DRI mold, Dealing With It is what came out”. DRI went on mixing its own brand of punk metal releasing: Crossover, Four of a Kind, Thrash Zone, Definition, a live album recorded in 1992, before releasing Full Speed Ahead in 1996 ; our last full length release. We have been re-issuing our old catalog with bonus tracks for the new millennium. We also got a bunch of Live DVD’s in the works, starting with the 1984 CBGB’s live DVD that came out in 2005. Summer of 2016 saw the release of the first new material in years. But Wait..THERE’s MORE came out as a 7″/12″ and CD.The band currently consists of original core members and song writing team, Spike Cassidy (guitar) and Kurt Brecht (vocals), along with Gregg Orr (bass) and Rob Rampy (drums).We are that band with the skanker in the circle. You know, the running man. The mosher. We appeared on a Beavis & Butthead episode. We also held the Guinness Book record for fastest band in the world, back in the day. We played with just about every major band you can name, and most festivals in our travels around the world for over three decades. We now have over 120 DRI songs under our belt, and still play about 35 or so when we play live.Deathwishhttps://deathwish.bandcamp.com/track/wallsRoadkillerRoadkiller is female fronted guitar driven high energy riffage, clearly inspired by the eighties but capable of tapping into so much more. These songs will make you want to tear shit up as you scream along to powerful choruses and nightmarish verses.

Cherubs ~ A Deer A Horse ~ RILVA
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Cherubshttps://cherubs.bandcamp.com/A Deer A HorseBathed in dim lights and fire baptized on well-trodden stages, A Deer A Horse wear the grime, grit, and gusto of hundreds of shows and countless hours in the studio like a badge of honor. Coming up out of Brooklyn, the band conjoins rock, metal, and punk in an unholy union praised by A.V. Club, Consequence of Sound, Village Voice, and Revolver who described them as “somewhere between the Melvins, Helms Alee, Red Fang, and Sleater-Kinney.” After stoking buzz underground, the group only sharpened their edges with unnerving melodies and cathartic dirges on their 2022 full-length debut album, Grind. Hot on the heels of their recent European tour, and a tour out to Caterwaul Fest, you can find them playing several regional shows in the Northeastern US.http://www.instagram.com/adeerahorsebandhttp://www.adeerahorse.bandcamp.com/https://open.spotify.com/artist/3z1jofa0BmNiO1oN00XirVhttps://www.facebook.com/ADeerAHorse/RILVASludge-punk / Noise-rock from Philly/Wilmington.Count von Count & Wally dunes, just keepin’ it rollin’.https://rilva.bandcamp.com/album/rilva

***MOVED TO SILK CITY*** Sublime Afterparty with Spray Allen (featuring Eric Wilson of Sublime) ~ The Happys
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 10:00 PM Show: 10:00 PM Sublime Afterparty with Spray Allen (featuring Eric Wilson of Sublime)Brought together by skateboard icon Danny Way, Spray Allen is an alternative rock band with a “new psychedelic” blend of ‘70s and ‘90s influences. Founded by Eric Wilson (Sublime, Long Beach Dub Allstars), the group includes two singer-guitarists formerly with Late Night Episode, Daniel Lonner and Eric Sherman. After meeting in the desert to jam on some initial tracks, when Covid, hit we all just locked in and started writing more and more. Eventually, we had like 60 songs and made demos of them, then Wilson sent them to Paul Leary. Next thing you know, we’re off to record a record at Sonic Ranch Studios outside El Paso in Texas with Paul Leary coming out of retirement to produce it. The experience at sonic ranch was magical.” The album sessions included guests such as keyboardist and horn player Gabrial McNair (No Doubt) and Stu Brooks (Dub Trio), resulting in a 26-song double album.ig: @spray_allenThe HappysThe Happys are a Bay Area band composed of four twenty-something-year-olds playing dysfunctional Surf Pop-Punk/Grunge. They recently got off tour with The Mad Caddies. Formed in the Bay Area, songwriter Nick Petty grew up writing music his whole life. Starting his career after overcoming addiction, depression and incarceration, powerful even strange songs started to form. He is influenced heavily by Hip Hop and Grunge. The Happys new lineup began in January of 2018 when Petty and longtime bassist Brett Brazil returned from a Pacific NW acoustic tour and reconnected with longtime friend and now guitarist, Alex Sanchez. Sanchez had previously played in Hot Start and had just touched down from an extended backpacking trip in Australia. Drummer Ryan Donahue approached the band by weird coincidence at a local bar and joined the band shortly after a few rehearsals. The band began booking shows and accruing a fast number of fans and several thousands of views on their Spotify and Youtube channels.
