MakeOutClub was the very first emo nite anywhere in the United States (started in Feb, 2011), and it created the blueprint for every other major city to follow. Mr. Brightside brought Indie nights back into Philly’s mainstream. Parties like My Chemical Slow Dance (Emo Prom), Scene Queen Halloween, and New Years Emo, continue to raise the bar and show that there are “emo nites”, and then there are emo EVENTS… All of these events have one person in common, and we’ll give you one guess who that is.

It’s already past midnight, but the crowd stands their ground diligently in anticipation. Outside it’s frigid, but inside everyone is shedding layers and stashing coats in corners. They are inside the home of Cab Ellis, an electrifying Alternative Rock band consisting of 8 members including three guitars, a section of horns, and a lead vocalist who will, in just a few minutes, capture the crowd with his intensely and feverishly passionate performance. All at once, Cab Ellis will rumble down the stairs, take the living room stage, and perform an hour of frantic rock music to a mosh pit of the sweaty and ecstatic fans they have built in New York. As hundreds of sneakers and boots pound the linoleum floor to the beat, Cab Ellis performs songs from their recently released sophomore record, The East Coast Hold On, recorded in 2021 with Strokes producer Gordon Raphael. They also play a selection of favorites from their debut album, Nighttime OCD, which was recorded and released in Los Angeles in 2020.

Jonny West ~ Francisco Martin ~ Fritz Hager ~ Allegra Miles
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMJONNY WESThttps://www.ohjonnywest.com/FRANCISCO MARTINAfter his first-ever tour, and a clutch of well-received singles, Los Angeles-based, San Francisco-born pop singer-songwriter, and producer Francisco Martin realized he had an all-consuming yearning to be his authentic self in his music. To that end, he worked feverishly in his apartment at all hours of the night while facing complaints from the neighbors. He now emerges with his first true artistic statement, the 6-song EP, Manic, a bold collection of emotionally-raw pop-rock. Francisco first shot to fame with American Idol season 18 in 2020 where he placed Top 5. From there, he quickly released a few singles before embarking on a fall coast-to-coast tour. To date, Francisco has released several hit singles, including “Swollen,” which has amassed close to 8 million streams across all DSPS (6 million on Spotify). Manic was made during a three-month pause after Francisco was thrust in the public eye. It was created by Francisco and his co-producer/good friend Nick Sarpa in Francisco’s apartment studio setup. The release bursts with dynamic musicality such as stately balladry, cathartic, grungy aggression, catchy EDM, and moments of soulful serenity. Throughout the EP, Francisco bravely shares personal reflections on mental health, relationships, angst, and human disconnection in the age of connection. https://franciscomartin.org/FRITZ HAGERhttps://linktr.ee/Fritz3musicALLEGRA MILESAllegra Miles is a multi-instrumentalist and singer/songwriter based in Los Angeles, CA.
