We hear every anxious giggle. We take every single one and cradle it in our hands and translate it into sound. We arrange these sounds into music for you. There are five of us. We are a loud band born in a concrete room in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. We were born to howl, but we crave silence. And YOU’RE LAUGHING. When will you ever stop?https://www.instagram.com/yourelaughing_Bacon Egg and CheeseBacon egg and cheese is a group of musicians from philadelphia who are also good fwends! Hesitantly, they deliver fuzzy and awkward garage rock with poignant, heartfelt lyrics regarding the experience of being self-described underachieving loners. Citing inspiration from acts like Pixies, Weezer, Blink 182, Nirvana, the group manifested from the notion that rock n’ roll can still be fun and for everyone. We found Casey hanging out in public restrooms. See if you can spot the former child-star! I need help. I have reason to believe that the FBI is after me.

Calva Louise & Vukovi w/Stellar Circuits
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: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PMCalva LouiseCalva Louise is a multicultural British band from Venezuela, France and New Zealand, aiming at London’s underground live scene and driven by the creative vision of Jess Allanic since their beginning, end of 2016. They soon started playing iconic festivals such as Reading & Leeds Festival in England, Riot Fest and SXSW in the United States and Rock For People in Czech Republic. With two albums, several EPs, and a handful of collaborations to their name, Calva Louise has gathered support from BBC Radio 1, 6 Music, Radio X, Clash, The Line Of Best Fit, and DIY Mag. To date, they’ve toured with the likes of Cassyette, Slothrust, Highly Suspect, Psychedelic Porn Crumpets, Death Valley Girls, and Albert Hammond Jr. The band self-released their latest mixtape ‘Over The Threshold,’ in December 2023 with 7 impressive self-made music videos produced with Unreal Engine. In November 2023 the band signed a deal with Mascot Records for an album that is set to be released later this year. Calva Louise are preparing for a busy 2024 with worldwide tour dates announced already including Download Festival, Welcome To Rockville & Sonic Temple as well as a co-headline tour in the US with the Scottish band Vukovi.https://calvalouise.myshopify.com/VukoviTwo years on from their critically lauded second album, Fall Better – and a whole load of global weirdness in-between – Vukovi return with a record that is the best distillation of their unique musical vision yet. “NULA is a concept record,” says singer Janine Now a two piece, Janine and guitarist Hamish Reilly have spent these strange two years gone plotting in their Glasgow base as to how best to achieve this. Like any artist who’s toiled over their work, Janine is keen for the record to tell its own story. And yet excitingly, they are planning a novella book supplement to the record down the line. “I’ve always been into sci-fi,” Janine says. “Growing up I loved Star Wars, The Fifth Element, Alien and sci-fi was an escape from the pain. I could sit in my bedroom and look out the window and know that there was something so much bigger going on. That’s what I want this album to be for people. An escape.” “We were probably always going to end up doing something like this,” laughs Hamish. “I grew up obsessed with bands like Rush and Dream Theatre, so music that tells a story has always been something I’ve been into. I think there’s always been a sci-fi element to Vukovi too, or at least a cinematic one.”Stellar CircuitsFormed in 2015, Stellar Circuits emerged to combine the conceptual polarities of groove-oriented music with progressive-minded technicality. Over the quartet’s lifespan, they’ve managed to fulfill their own prophecy, formulating a core sound that is complex and layered, while providing a listenability that extends well beyond the rock genre. Visceral, intellectual, groovy, technical, and melodious are rarely indicators that can all be used to describe the aural essence of one band. In the case of Stellar Circuits, the rare combination makes a striking and definitive appearance in all they do.

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 PMNeptune’s CoreNeptune’s Core is an alternative indie rock band made up of two sets of sisters. The four created the bad-ass group out of Chicago’s thriving indie-rock scene. Jim DeRogits summed it up best on Sound Opinions: “Their age belies the sophistication of the songwriting and instrumentation … classic alternative era with delicate fragile quiet moments exploding into loud dynamics.” As talented multi-instrumentalists and passionate music fans, they seek to bring their music to life with a love of indie and punk music while having a background in jazz and classical music. And that’s not to mention their heartfelt lyrics and the catharsis when they belt them out. Jill Hopkins (Metro Chicago and Host of Opus Podcast) says, “Every few years in Chicago as the new wave of rock band makes themselves known, a few rise to the top through a mix of talent, timing, uniqueness, and natural charm. And I have not seen many bands do that as well or as quickly as the women of Neptune’s Core.” Neptune’s Core brings forth new sounds and new emotions with their latest EP, Called Upon (Side Hustle Records).https://www.neptunescore.com/ Hot Mart Philadelphia indie-alt-gaze-rockhttps://lnk.bio/hotmartbandPillow Princess Not quite rock, more of a pebble. pillow princess is the newest offering from Philly music-scene stalwart, and Secret Nudist Friends front-person, Mattie Klauser.

It was then in the spring of 2016 that a fuller version of the band was formed with keyboardist Brad Murray. The band began to really blossom with the addition of their long time musical confidant and lead guitarist, Aaron Michael Brown, of the band Saint Slumber. A fuller sound and visual aesthetic was needed and was finally resurrected when they asked art director and musician Dave Meyers to help make their vision come to life. Together Atlassian have been passionately working to create your favorite new songs, visually striking content, a memorable live show with healthy amounts of improvisation that not only solidifies the bands professional skills but prove that they are worthy of the praise they get.

The Dead Pockets ~ The Cospirals ~ Sean C Smyth
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 The Dead Pockets The Dead Pockets are a Rock band from Philly, PA. They have gone through a couple lineup changes before solidifying their present band members. James Morozin (Lead Singer), Johnny Brennan (Bass), Matt Kelly (Guitar), Chuck Haegele (Guitar), and Bill Carley (Drums). The band started with two cousins Chuck and Johnny looking for other musicians to jam with, they found Matt on craigslist and Bill from an older band. This lineup stayed the same, but finding the right singer was the hard part. Until, James with no prior singing experience asked to step in and he was the guy for the job! They have since gained a small presence on social media with their “Lodi” cover by CCR on youtube, and from their first live show. They have a good setlist of original tunes and are headed to the studio in November to record their first ever EP. They enjoy playing and writing in the style of older, retro rock but like to put their own modern twist on their songs. Some of their influences are the Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon, CCR, and The Guess Who.https://open.spotify.com/artist/6g10P5Bw3OrFOLI3V8SY67The CospiralsCospirals are a cosmic country rock band that formed in Lehigh Valley, Pa in 2023. Pieces of Philly bands and solo projects relocated and combined to blend psych, surf, blues and twang. Their setlist includes songs from their frontman, Ebb Flynn’s, solo EP and new songs slated for a 2024 release of their own. Sean C Smyth
