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.

As part of a three man band, lead singer Jesse Flores is a seasoned performer/guitarist and songwriter. Now taking a step into his own project and band along with his guitarist Jorge Calderon and Bassist Daniel Vela, the three man band hopes to continue amassing followers worldwide.

Currently represented under Cruel Management and its affiliates, the band is on an upward trajectory and definitely worth giving a listen.Dustbowl Championhttps://www.instagram.com/dustbowlchampion/?hl=enCasket Cassettehttps://casketcassette.bandcamp.com/Saint CyanideSaint Cyanide makes designer noise.

They’ve played in a bunch of bands over the years – together and separately – and blah blah blah, etc., etc. Proudly from Philadelphia.https://saintcyanide.bandcamp.com/track/mouth-knife
