Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 8:00 PM The Back Alley The Back Alley stemmed from the solo recording project of lead singer Ralph Porter who wrote songs such as ‘Your Love’ and ‘Flower Girl’ before the band was formed in 2022. Now a 5-piece independent rock band based in Chicago, Illinois, the band is a hybrid of Ax and The Hatchetmen’s members Hunter Olshefke (Bass), and Sal Defilippis (Guitar), who have joined forces with Jaden Cone (Guitar), Ralph Porter (Vocals), and Ben Kremer (Drums) to perform and record original music while still paying homage to their singers past discography by performing completely new takes on his songs at their live shows. The bands debut EP ‘Live From Picture-Minded Studio’ marked a major transition for the band as they begin to move from the “bedroom pop” vibes of Porter’s solo work into a more guitar-heavy indie rock approach with songs such as “Gump”, “Lightning” while still including the new takes on his original music as part of the EP. The band has started to find their own rhythm within their new songs ‘Brand New’ and ‘Grey Skies’ leading the way. After carving their path in the Midwest scene in 2023 and 2024 with new music and shows at iconic venues such as Lincoln Hall and Park West, the band is ready to take on 2025. The bands latest single ‘Shaking Off The Snow’ will be released on March 20th as they kick off their first tour together. Geskle

Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM Millington Founded in 2018 by Cody Okonski, Millington began as a recording project with the mission of bringing a modern sheen to a genre (Ska/Rock-With Horns/Horn-Fueled Pop-Punk) that was largely left behind by big budget labels.

During the pandemic, while live performances halted, the band continued to work on producing new music. 2020 saw the release of their latest EP, Beatdown Generation, as well as a cover album titled Brass Emo Vol. 1. As live shows returned, the band made it’s comeback to the stage play its first show back at NYC’s Governors Ball festival 2022, and has hit the ground running ever since.

Velvet w/ So Totally + Farewell Days + Beside Me
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: 6:30 PM Velvet Velvet is a heavy shoegaze band from Brooklyn, New York. They are currently on tour, visiting new cities and returning to some of their favorites. So Totally Philadelphia’s So Totally are a portrait of utmost devotion. Since 2015, the band has humbly studied their surroundings and themselves, perfecting a sound present on 2016’s A Cheap Close-Up of Heaven, and 2019’s In The Shape Of. Shimmering guitars sit underneath lush vocals that concurrently embed themselves in a listener’s subconscious, haunting them with heavy mood and nostalgia for 90’s rock groups. These releases brought So Totally to the point of singular focus on drafting a third album, Double Your Relaxation, while in quarantine in 2020. Lyrically and thematically, Double Your Relaxation explores where influence and “hypnosis” exist in life, specifically in environment, media, relationships, and self, bouncing between perspectives of witnessing, interacting with, and contributing to illusion and how that ultimately affects our idea of identity. The moody and surreal nature of the songs lends itself appropriately to the shoegaze/heavy indie style of So Totally, making them a perfect addition to the canon of the genre. Double Your Relaxation is out now and is available through North Carolina’s Tiny Engines, their first with the label. Farewell Days Formed in 2024, Farewell Days are a new band out of Philadelphia blending layers of distorted guitars with haunting atmosphere, modern sensibilities and a strong melodic framework. Fronted by charismatic singer/guitarist C.J. Davis, whose ethereal vocals float over the walls of shimmering guitars and driving beats, each Farewell Days performance is a mesmerizing installment. Drawing inspiration from the dreamy vibes of Shoegaze and the raw energy of Grunge, Farewell Days are poised to become a force in the indie scene for the foreseeable future. Beside Me Beside Me is a Philadelphia based band, inspired by a blend of shoegaze and post-hardcore.
Wim Tapley & The Cannons
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 Wim Tapley & The Cannons Based in Athens, Georgia, Wim Tapley came of age playing shows in Washington D.C. where he honed his voice with the passion of a born troubadour. Since 2021, Wim and his live band The Cannons have called Athens home. His first week in Georgia, he made his way onto a local bill, etching a name for himself as a fresh and favorite hometown voice. He is ardently received by his ever-growing following at legendary venues like Eddie’s Attic and the Georgia Theatre, along with tours across the East Coast. Firmly rooted in Americana and dashed with catchy pop sensibilities, the swinging depths of neo-soul, and a sprinkling of riotous horns, Wim’s arresting sound is as fresh as it is ageless, as fevered as it is raucous fun. A sonic westward expansion of fuzzed-out guitars, saloon pianos, defiant horns, and dusty vocals, his discography blazes a new take on folk and soul while honoring the songwriting giants that paved the way before him like Jason Isbell, Bill Withers, and Chris Stapleton. Follow Wim on Spotify and Instagram and never miss out on the musical misadventures of the East Coast’s resident space cowboy.
