THICK ~ SLAUGHTERHOUSE ~ Friend
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 THICK Since first forming in 2014, New York trio THICK have triumphed at turning the harshest truths into wildly exhilarating punk songs. On their second album Happy Now, vocalist/guitarist Nikki Sisti, vocalist/bassist Kate Black, and vocalist/drummer Shari Page deliver their most complex and confessional work yet, exploring everything from self-sabotage and insecurity to victim-blaming and destructive relationships. Raw, irreverent, and brutally honest, Happy Now ultimately offers both joyful catharsis and much-needed instruction for living well in turbulent times. “Most of our songs lean toward optimism, even when there’s a lot of pain in them,” says Sisti, who refers to THICK’s output as a “living diary.” “It’s not about toxic positivity or trying to force yourself into happiness; it’s about recognizing that it’s okay to feel a whole spectrum of emotions, and then getting to the other side and really growing from your experiences.” Instagram | Spotify SLAUGHTERHOUSE Slaughterhouse emerged from the South Bay of Los Angeles in late 2017 and hit the ground running with local and out-of-state shows, and an EP that would define their punk and death rock sound. They have continued to build their name playing explosive live shows with songs from their debut LP, Fun Factory; out as a split release on Todd Congelliere of F.Y.P’s label Recess Records, and Water Under the Bridge Records. They’ve shared stages with the likes of Pennywise, Social Distortion, Adolescents, Dead Kennedys, and Alkaline Trio. In 2022 they toured with Bad Religion and played sold out shows with Amyl & The Sniffers, and Destroy Boys, with no signs of slowing down. Most recently, Slaughterhouse hit the road for a month-long US tour with UK pals, Grade 2, and finished the tour with a Punk Rock Bowling club show with Alice Bag. With Meriel O’Connell on vocals, Eddie Cairns on bass, Taylor Ramirez on guitar, and Nick Aguilar on drums, the band continues to write explosive new songs and are currently working on a new album.

(of Bad Brains)H.R. (Human Rights), is an American musician who leads the hardcore punk band Bad Brains, and is an instrumental figure in the development of the genre. His vocal delivery has been described as diverse, ranging from a rapid-fire nasal whine, to feral growling and screeches, to smooth near-crooning or staccato reggae rhymes. He has departed the band periodically to pursue solo efforts that are more inspired by reggae than Bad Brains’ punk sound. The Heavy Beat The Heavy Beat is a five piece band from Philadelphia. Their unique sound is rooted in a deep appreciation for 60s Jamaican music, American soul and rock and roll. Formed in 2007, the band gigged relentlessly for 6 years and took an indefinite break in 2013. Now, after 10 short years, The Heavy Beat is back ready to pack the dance floor once again.

Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PM HANDSOME DICK MANITOBA SINGS THE DICTATORS… AND OTHER PUNK CLASSICS!… Some new ones too!!! For over 40 years, HANDSOME DICK MANITOBA was the lead singer, frontman and face of theDICTATORS, MANITOBA’S WILD KINGDOM & THE DICTATORS NYC. He did stints on the road singing with the legendary MC5, ran his own New York City tavern,MANITOBA’S, for 20 years and did a national five night a week rock ‘n’ roll radio program on SiriusXMsatellite radio. “But I haven’t had enough yet. As as my hero, Iggy Pop said, ‘I WANT MORE!’” Coming out of one of the richest, most notorious scenes in rock ‘n’ roll history, punk rock, and CBGB’s, Mr. MANITOBA has decided he needed to breathe in more oxygen, via live rock ‘n’ roll. And although he has parted ways with his old band of many decades, don’t be fooled, HANDSOME DICK is still “faster than a speeding bullet, stronger than a locomotive, can reach tall buildings in a single bound and bend steel with his bare hands.” Which leads to this… MANITOBA is dying to get on the road and entertain all y’all’s asses BETTER THAN EVER! And of course he’s lucky enough to have found an amazing band out of the great city of San Francisco featuring Craig Behrhorst (Ruffians, ex-Two Bit Thief)—guitar, Michael Butler (ex-Exodus and ex-JetBoy)-bass, Frank Meyer (Street Walkin’ Cheetahs and Fear)-guitar and Scotty Slam (ex-Circus of Power and The Stoning)-drums Don’t miss your chance to see a living, breathing, high energy, original 70’s, OG punk rock organism!

Escape from the Zoo ~ Hans Gruber & the Die Hards ~ The Looms ~ Matt Pless
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 PMShow: 7:30 PM Escape from the ZooIt’s very rare to find music that makes you think, feel and want to mosh simultaneously, but with Countin’ Cards, Escape From The Zoo has struck the perfect balance between all three. It’s something that the band – the louder, faster, punk project that Days N’ Daze’s Jesse Sendejas co-founded with his wife Veronica – has always done, but never quite to this extent. Much of that is down to the circumstances that led up to the recording of these nine songs – most obviously a global pandemic that allowed for intense self-reflection. That was true for both Sendejas and We The Heathens’ Elliot Lozier, who recorded this album and played bass and drums on it.“I think both of us were sitting at home with not much to do,” recalls Sendejas. “It was probably a really introspective handful of months for everybody, but we both get stuck in our heads a lot. We get hit hard with waves of solipsism, where it feels like we’re the only people on the planet. That’s a weird and scary feeling, and it forces you to look at yourself because that’s the only thing that feels real at the time. So a lot these songs are Elliot and I sorting through thoughts and feelings and trying to make sense of why we’re having them and what they mean.” That solipsistic self-awareness coincided with something equally as influential and important for Sendejas – the fact that, on a tour Days N’ Daze went on just before the pandemic hit, he got sober. So not only do these songs offer up deep and poignant existential questions about life – as well as the social and political constructs that surround and consume it – but they’re also a reflection of Sendejas’ newfound clarity and the path he’s now trying to take.“I’ve definitely not been without my slipups,” he admits. “A lot of the album is about trying to be a better friend and bandmate and person overall, and struggling with wanting to do that really, really badly – but also knowing that instant escape and gratification and comfort is a drink or a pill away. And I’m just trying to reason that in my mind, and find a path that seems doable and one that I can actually stay on for once.” Hans Gruber and the Die HardsHans Gruber and the Die Hards brand of punk/ska mashes genres together like a toddler eating chocolate cake – with messy intensity for maximum enjoyment. From Boston hardcore to Colombian cumbia, southern gospel to crossover thrash, their live shows are filled with pits, sock puppets, conga lines and confusion – if you are nihilistic enough to jump in feet first.

Single Mothers ~ Gumm ~ SOLD
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 PMShow: 7:30 PM Single MothersSingle Mothers broke up in 2009, 2011, 2015 and have been playing shows ever since. Founded by Drew Thomson in 2008 Single Mothers only relied on only one main principle: it wouldn’t have any members. For the most part – they have stayed true to that, and only that. Spanning a discography of genera morphing LP’s and a myriad of EP’s the only constant is that none of it sounds the same. Each album has different members, different song writers, different ideas. For a while there were even two versions of the band going at the same time, with completely different people. Through all this Thomson left the band and moved to Swastika, Ontario to be a gold prospector. Single Mothers continued without him. While Thomson was searching for gold in Northern Ontario Single Mothers released their first S/T EP, which they recorded before he left, with Jeremy Bolm’s (Touché Amoré) Secret Voice Records. The band with no members played a sting of shows with different singers before Thomson returned. That EP sent the band touring with Title Fight, Quick Sand, Touché Amore, The Bronx and many others. The first LP Negative Qualities was recorded twice, produced by Joby Ford (The Bronx) and came out in 2014 – 10 years ago, on XL Records imprint Hot Charity to critical acclaim and led to festival appearances like Pitchfork Fest, Redding & Leeds, Primavera Sound, Riot Fest and many others. Then, as Single Mothers were picking up speed, they fell apart and started over. Now, 10 years later – in celebration of the record that tried to kill them, they’re back to play it in full. “These are the best songs from the worst years of my life.” Thomson recounts, “and I wouldn’t have it any other way.” GummGumm is a hardcore punk band from Chattanooga, TN. Their debut LP Slogan Machine released in 2023 through Convulse Records. SOLD
