Ducks Ltd. ~ Grocer
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: 8:00 PMDUCKS LTDDucks Ltd. are a Toronto band featuring Australian lead guitarist Evan Lewis and U.K-born, U.S.-raised singer, bassist, and rhythm guitarist Tom McGreevy. As Ducks Ltd., the two thrive on skirting the edges of buoyant jangle pop and driving power pop. Their latest album, Harm’s Way, contains anxious songs that McGreevy explains are “about struggling. About watching people I care for suffer, and trying to figure out how to be there for them. And about the strain of living in the world when it feels like it’s ready to collapse.” Harm’s Way is an undeniable evolution of Ducks Ltd.’s songwriting process. Where their critically acclaimed 2021 debut Modern Fiction and 2019 EP Get Bleak were self-recorded and self-produced in a Toronto basement, here, they made an LP in Chicago with producer Dave Vettraino and some of their favorite musicians. These collaborators include Finom’s Macie Stewart, Ratboys’ Julia Steiner and Marcus Nuccio, Dehd’s Jason Balla, Moontype’s Margaret McCarthy, Lawn’s Rui De Magalhaes, Dummy’s Nathan O’Dell, and Patio’s Lindsey-Paige McCloy. Ducks Ltd.’s touring drummer Jonathan Pappo also appears on the LP. The band first showed this collaborative streak on a 2023 covers EP, which featured guests like Mo Troper, Ratboys, Illuminati Hotties, and Jane Inc. that boasted renditions of songs by The Cure, The Feelies, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Where those songs started as ideas on days off from tour, Harm’s Way is also a product of writing on the road while supporting acts like Nation of Language and Archers of Loaf. “When we got signed, we had played maybe five or six shows ever,” says McGreevy. “After last year, it’s well in the hundreds. Those things change your perception of your own music and songwriting.” This well-earned and road-tested confidence made the making of this LP their most intuitive and organic yet. “Our relationship is built on trust and we don’t let our egos come into the creative process in any way,” says Lewis. “We have this really great thing where every decision with the band is filtered through both of us. Here especially, we really figured out how to make something that truly sounds like us.” GroccerGrocer is a band from Philadelphia. Lead by three distinct vocalists, each with a unique voice both on and off their respective instruments, they flicker between moments of brash chromaticism, saccharine pop sensibility, and rhythmic acrobatics. Their compositions are both meticulous and volatile, while their live performances are lauded for explosive chemistry with cheeky curiosity.https://itsgrocer.bandcamp.com

XIXIX ~ Tucked In ~ Moustapha Noumbissi
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM XIXIXBorn out of quarantine boredom, XIXIX is the solo project of Philadelphia based music producer Will Brown. Pulling influences from the synthesizers of LCD Soundsystem and The Cure to the screaming guitars of Neil Young and Built to Spill, XIXIX is best served to an intentional listener who can separate intrapersonal lyricism from a highly approachable soundscape. Released in fall of 2021 his debut album set the stage for an ethereal synth pop experience, only to be juxtaposed by a raw and aggressive live show driven by Brown’s guitar playing and affinity for punk and hardcore. With nothing left to the imagination besides how to pronounce the name, there’s no sense that Brown is playing a part when he brings himself onstage. Brown’s effortless genre-blending style is credited to the way he’s been able to chameleon himself into an amalgam of different bands and collaborations across his career. His debut record featured credits from Grammy Award winning engineer/producer Nicolas Vernes (War on Drugs, Animal Collective, Deerhunter). He has since collaborated with producer Nick Verruto (Tierra Whack, Meek Mill) and worked in the studio with countless other Philadelphia artists including Caiola, Julian King, and Ali Awan among others.https://open.spotify.com/artist/2i6PxJ8bSLsQ89SiZXjHWs?si=VYYAAqe5QsGanCgWLQtttw&nd=1Tucked InBorn in Brooklyn, New York at Pete’s Candy Store, Tucked In began as a duo with Gunnar Flinchum (vocals) and Shae Ferguson (guitar). The group’s evolution has taken them through the indie rock scene in New York to the sandy shores of Vero Beach, FL to their current residence in Phoenixville, PA. Along the way, the group has won the attention of their audiences with their raw instrumentation backed by refined vocals and tight harmonies. Drummer Connor Lord and recent additions Dan Rodgers (bass) and Carrie Morgan (keyboard/vocals) have taken the band’s sound a step further. The five members spent the fall of 2022 writing and recording the band’s most recent EP, Cocoon.https://www.tuckedintheband.com/Moustapha NoumbissiMoustapha Noumbissi is a songwriter/multi-instrumentalist based in Philadelphia, PA. Born in Belgium to Cameroonian parents, Moustapha grew up a participant of many musical traditions including–West African drumming, American pop, and choral music–his latest recordings favor Indie Rock and Psychedelic Soul.

**CANCELED** Glassio ~ Party Nails ~ Sulene
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry*7 PM Doors7:30 PM ShowGLASSIOGlassio is the Dream-Pop/Alt-Dance project of Irish-Iranian singer, songwriter and producer Sam R. Over the past 5 years, Glassio has carved a unique world and sound out of the electronic music scene in Brooklyn, oftentimes meshing influences from folk, early house, and new wave with lush harmonies and wistful melodies. His music has been described as “a record Crosby, Stills and Nash would have possibly made had they spent a Summer in Ibiza in 1987 on Ecstasy.” PARTY NAILS Party Nails is the raucous alt-pop songstress Elana Carroll. Her music draws comparisons to Robyn, Madonna and Hayley Williams, and has been covered by Billboard, Noisey, American Songwriter and featured in television and film. On tour she performs with just one other musician on stage, the equally captivating and energetic drummer Anna Crane (known professionally as simply “Crane”). Together they rip up the stage and invite you to dance, sweat, and maybe even shed a (cathartic) tear. Listen to Party Nails’ second album, You Don’t Have To Go Home But You Can’t Stay Here, self released in the quarantine of 2020, on Spotify now.https://open.spotify.com/artist/1PkfHC4LBy4o9UNU2k1yw4 SULENESulene (South African raised/Brooklyn resident) is releasing 4th EP ‘In the Style of David Lynch’ this spring and previously featured on tracks throughout 2021 with John The Ghost and RAC.
