Baldini and The Bastards ~ Slow Motion Sadface ~ Dirty Soap
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Baldini and The BastardsBaldini has always used the word “American” when discussing the sound The Bastards create. It is a wild blend of sounds that are found elsewhere than their native Philadelphia. The music simultaneously does and does not lend itself to the influences of the song structures. The mixture of many sounds and styles expressed in the songs evokes familiarity without constraint to the obvious – new expressions, without intention. The Bastards brick wall of sound took dedication to patience – constant practice blended with no-rules experimentation. The comfortability they present during live performances shows their growth as a band and strength in communication while the seriousness of the content on a number of songs elicits the continuation of the hard-hitting truth-telling front porch train ride American tradition.https://baldiniandthebastards.bandcamp.com/Slow Motion SadfaceSlow Motion Sadface is the garage rock passion project of a former drummer in the Philly scene, JT Melvin. Dropping the sticks, Melvin picked up the axe and looks to follow in the footsteps of punk greats, with esoteric songwriting and cutting guitars.https://www.instagram.com/slowmotionsadface/Dirty SoapDirty Soap is a Rock group from Philadelphia. Founding members, Spoon Ferguson and Thomas Martin, met in high school and quickly formed a musical bond. Blending Spoon’s raw vocals, affinity for traditional Blues, and unique guitar stylings (he plays left handed with inverted strings) with Thomas’ smooth Doo-wop approach and catchy song writing. The name Dirty Soap represents these opposing styles. Over the years they crafted their unique sound on Philly street corners and parks – dubbing themselves “Doo-wop Punks”. Now with their explosive live performances, hard work, restless dedication, and a youthful excitement and love for their craft, they strive to be amongst the many greats to come out of Philadelphia. www.dirtysoapmusic.com

The Trews ~ Sunday Mourners
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:30 PMThe TrewsThe achievements of rock ‘n’ roll heavyweights The Trews are many and mighty, highlighted by multiple radio hits drawn from seven critically acclaimed studio albums plus several EPs, a pair of live records, and a retrospective. Among the most prolific, electrifying, and innovative bands on the planet, The Trews — singer/guitarist Colin MacDonald, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald, bassist Jack Syperek, drummer Chris Gormley, and keyboardist Jeff Heisholt — have shared stages with everyone from the Rolling Stones to Weezer, Bruce Springsteen to Rich Robinson, the latter collaboration culminating in three blazing tracks on the band’s latest, The Wanderer, cut in Nashville with the onetime Black Crowes guitarist. Amid the global pandemic, which halted both the Nashville sessions and tour plans for 2018’s epic Civilianaires album, The Trews completed The Wanderer at home in Canada with producers Derek Hoffman and Eric Ratz, emerging with their fiercest and most accomplished set of songs to date, and a heck of backstory to boot.http://www.thetrewsmusic.com/ Sunday Mournershttps://www.instagram.com/sundaymourners/?hl=en

Formed in the early 1990s, KeN’s history has included shows with such greats as the Psychedelic Furs, Mike Watt, Alice Donut, The Makers, Scrawl, Burning Brides and Ben Folds Five. KeN has been described as “sweetly bitter punk love anthems” (Jill McDowell, Philadelphia Weekly); “estro-gin power collective” (Joey Sweeney, Philadelphia Weekly); “straight-up-shoot-from-the-hip-rock-outfit” (Julie Gerstein, Philadelphia Weekly); “a strange world where everything sounds fine and its OK to fly off the handle” (Eric Wareheim, Rockpile); and “Awesome!

The Knee-HI’s ~ The Girls ~ The Out-Sect ~ Harsh Symmetry
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM The Knee-HI’sChicago based all-girl rock band, The Knee Hi’s, are romancing the world as a living love letter to rock n roll. Combining their individual tastes and raw DIY approach this group is serving up style & charm of all their own; described as “cosmic nostalgia for the soul”, “junkshop glam”, & “electric & eclectic”. Stream their debut album “Charmed” now and look out for “Razzle Dazzle”, their second album, coming summer of 2023. THE GIRLS The Girls are a 5 piece band from Wilmington North Carolina, with their song “Schools for Fools” recently featured in the NETFLIX movie “Along For The Ride”. THE GIRLS have a stage presence of mixed emotions that range from angry and intimidating Rock N’ Roll to a happy power pop glam energy, easily getting the crowd moving and participating in these fun and catchy yet attitude ridden songs to sing along to and dance from start to finish. Jp “Peaches” Verardi lead guitar and vocals is sure to get the crowd rowdy and ready to the night with his on stage antics, blood spitting, confetti cannon shooting happy chaotic energy. The Out-SectThe members of The Out-Sect met while living in a Philadelphia junkyard. On weekends, they would gather to drink beers inside a broken down 1982 GMC Caballero with a copy of Back From The Grave stuck in the car’s cassette player. Instantly being drawn to the trashy sounds of those pimple-faced mid-60s punks, they figured they could write a song half as good as any of them. And that’s just what they did! Using instruments they literally found in the trash, the band has managed to write a handful of deranged “songs” that will leave you asking yourself “What is that smell?” and “Dear god, can they just stop playing!?”Harsh SymmetryHarsh Symmetry is the synthesizer driven solo project of the California based musician Julian Sharwarko. Blending 1980s post-punk and new wave influences with more contemporary genres like dark wave and minimal wave, Harsh Symmetry paints a refreshing and danceable picture while maintaining a good sense of revivalism.
