Teenage Halloween ~ Dollar Signs ~ Superweaks ~ Timeshares

**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Teenage HalloweenStand by your friends that are hurting. That’s what New Jersey power punks Teenage Halloween do through soaring arrangements of melodic angst, wracked vocals that insist “I love you so much I would die for you”, and passion-packed two-minute dispatches tackling topics from gender euphoria, to state abuses, and an eternal quest for mental wellbeing. The results are potent punk dioramas that document young queer life at the edge of America. At the heart of vocalist and guitarist Luk Henderiks’ lyrics is an urgent longing for community. Despite their often strikingly personal vulnerability, these songs reach out to the wider world, striving to hold themselves and those around them accountable for their actions and to make space for those that need to be heard. In 2020, the band released their self-titled debut album via storied Garden State label Don Giovanni and swiftly won over a host of tastemakers. BrooklynVegan placed it at #10 on their Best New Punk Albums Of 2020, while Sterogum hailed them on their 40 Best New Bands Of 2020. American Songwriter, Paste, and KEXP brought further kind words to the table. Now two years past its release, the album continues to gain new fans, with a third vinyl pressing recently announced. Having been unable to tour the album on its release in pre-vaccine times, the band have hit the road with abandon in 2022 with over 60 shows under their belts by mid-August; including their first national US tour, an invitation to showcase at SXSW, and dates with Chris Farren, Good Riddance, The Spits, Elf Power and many more. These shows invariably deliver a calling card of unrelenting energy, wry wit, and warmth. As they make their final preparations before heading into the studio to record the followup to Teenage Halloween, this band which operated as a ‘rotating cast’ in it’s early years, is now firmly entrenched as an essential four-piece comprised of Henderiks alongside Eli Frank (guitar, vocals), Tricia Marshall (bass, vocals) and Peter Gargano (drums). The quartet maintains the vital energy of their previous incarnations but brings an even more focused punch to the arrangements that leaves greater room for Henderiks’ lyrics. Fans of the band will also have noticed the creative assent of Marshall who takes the vocal lead on multiple songs that have become defining features of the band’s recent live shows and which bring a fresh new viewpoint to the band’s ongoing sonic mission for a more equal and just world. https://www.instagram.com/teenagehalloween https://www.facebook.com/teenagehalloweennj https://twitter.com/tnghllwnband Dollar Signshttps://dollarsigns.bandcamp.com/Superweakshttps://thesuperweaks.bandcamp.com/Timeshareshttps://timeshares.bandcamp.com/
Zack Krall & The Dispatch ~ The Polychromatics ~ Nematode

**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMZACK KRALL & THE DISPATCHZack Krall and The Dispatch is a four-piece, heavy-hitting rock band incorporating elements of blues, garage rock, funk, and punk. Founded in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in May of 2022, the band consists of Chris Cerbone on drums, Yoren Maniquis on bass, Eoin “Limpin’ Lemon Lincoln” Kelly on keyboards, and Zack Krall on guitar and vocals. The outfit has come out swinging, playing energetic, electrifying live shows to fans across multiple cities. Their debut single, “Bleed” was released on October 28, 2022 on all streaming platforms.https://www.zackkrallmusic.com/ THE POLYCHROMATICSPhilly Psych, communicated via instruments to be digested by auditory receptors.https://linktr.ee/the.polychromatics NEMATODENematode is a psychedelic pop band that has reinvented themselves more times before their debut EP than some groups do in a lifetime. In the last four years, every setback endured by the band allowed a new opportunity to reassess their work and redefine their future. The surprise EP ‘Pipeline’ offers Nematode at their most serene. The three tracks spill into one another. Bookended by delicate keys, fluttering harmonies, and the groups first foray into string arrangements and horns. The full breadth of Nematode is realized by the psychedelic cacophony that erupts in the middle, cementing deft tonal shifts as a signature of the band’s sound. The official debut ‘Gulp’ fleshes these ideas out further and draws upon a swath of influences across decades of pop, rock, and psychedelia, while remaining unmistakably their own. Nematode is anchored by Aaron Easton and Larry Flatley, who brought Nematode to life in late 2017 while living in West Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The duo have since relocated to New Jersey where they can write and record their own music in house as well as produce for other bands. They are joined in the studio and on stage by Brian Hughes, Eddy Machado, and Dan Silver.https://linktr.ee/nematodeband
Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol ~ Mandrax ~ Kelli Maning

**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Rickshaw Billie’s Burger PatrolWith their 5th studio release, Rickshaw Billie’s Burger Patrol is putting a name to the style of fuzzed out, overdriven, melodic, groovy music they have been making since 2016. In 9 concise, no bullshit songs, RBBP demonstrates their ability to blend the merciless low end of Leo Lydon’s 8-String guitar, Aaron Metzdorf’s masterful chordwork on the bass, and Sean St.Germain’s driving drumwork. Lydon and Metzdorf’s vocal melodies cut through the high frequencies to deliver fresh layers to the hooks that RBBP fans have come to love. As the name implies, Doom Wop is a heavy, melody-driven, party metal album. With riffs as big and dumb as ever, and lyrics that stab at the worst members of society and ourselves (while keeping tongue firmly in cheek), listeners will find all the elements that make up the soul of RBBP on this record. Doom Wop is available on CD and download, released on September 23rd, 2022. Vinyl LP release date TBD.https://rickshawbilliesburgerpatrol.com/ Mandrax Mandrax is a New Jersey-based psychedelic and progressive rock band formed in 2018 by Vocalist/Guitarist Richie Borman and Drummer Anthony Trimarco. Channeling vibes from Progressive icons like Frank Zappa, Yes, Pink Floyd, and King Crimson, Mandrax will scratch the itch for those looking for modern rock music that is both derivative and innovative https://mandraxtheband.bandcamp.com/ Kelli Maning Kelli Maning is a rock duo from the the Philadelphia area that has just released a second album of lo-fi, grunge – garage rock on mixed color vinyl@kellimaning on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/kellimaning/ https://kellimaning.bandcamp.com

Girlfriends w/ John Harvie + Slater + Macula Dog (The Loft)
**All Ages** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM girlfriendsAs the exceedingly prolific pair known as girlfriends, Travis Mills and Nick Gross conjure songs that are at once pleasingly familiar and warmly unique. In less than three years, the duo created not one but two urgent, inspired, and original albums. They’ve already sold out the Roxy in LA; opened for Machine Gun Kelly; toured with Mod Sun and Grayscale; and played a festival with Twenty One Pilots. SPIN called girlfriends’ self-titled debut “polished, impassioned, and commanding,” comparing their cross-genre appeal to MGK and Trippie Redd. Fans streamed the first album more than 46 million times on Spotify alone, driven by songs like “California,” “Where Were You” (ft. Travis Barker), and “Jessica.” 2022 saw the release of standout singles like “High Again,” “Toaster For A Swim,” “Missing You,” “Pretty Mouth” and “Tattoo.” Their sophomore album (e)motion sickness was released in June 2022. Before girlfriends formed, neither Travis nor Nick were strangers to creativity or community. The brash rap songs Travis posted on MySpace as T. Mills led to a major label deal, Warped Tour, and diehard fans. He later became a host for Apple Music 1. Nick played in a major label rock band before founding Gross Labs. Both guys are equally enthusiastic about having another go at the style of caffeinated pop-punk that first shaped them. The group’s music is a vehicle for self-expression and catharsis, a means to process grief, uncertainty, and renewed vigor for life destined to connect with others who struggle. That’s something girlfriends will never take for granted.John Harviehttps://www.instagram.com/johnharvie/?hl=enSLATERFrom seductive club bangers to therapeutic, night-time-cruising tunes, SLATER has solidified his role as a tastemaker and star of the new wave of alternative pop. Since 2013, Southern California’s rising underground sensation, SLATER, has blended the best elements of alternative, pop, and hip hop into a new, unique sound all of his own. Smooth, groovy, and infectious, his niche style is as reminiscent of early 00’s pop and radio hits as it is innovative and fresh. As a member of the collective, Vada Vada (consisting of The Garden, Enjoy, Puzzle, Cowgirl Clue, Lumina, and Glitch), SLATER is no stranger to experimentation. With over 20 releases under his belt, he continues sonically evolving his signature sound. SpotifyMacula Doghttps://maculadog.bandcamp.com/

Unwed Sailor ~ LAZERDISC

**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Unwed SailorAfter two decades of critically acclaimed and fan-adored releases, Unwed Sailor has become a fixture within the indie rock/pop landscape. A familiar and unceasing tide. A steady hand through turbulent channels. In many ways, the band’s forthcoming release MuteThe Charm represents an exercise in addition by subtraction –creating a layered emotive experience through more organic means. At its core, it is a pop rock record with chiming guitars, melodic bass, and rock solid drums– more aligned with the accessible sides of artist influences ranging from The Sundays, Joy Division, and The Stone Roses to Led Zeppelin, Lungfish, and 90’s indie rock band, Seam, than the band’s previous and more ambient releases. “MuteThe Charmis a back to the basics, primal record,” says Johnathon Ford. “It’s instrumental music without all the dressings. Muting the Charm, digging in the dirt, swimming in the ocean, going back to the basics, feeling those primal feelings of nature, and reflecting those feelings in songs. ”Mute The Charm also functions as a notable checkpoint in Unwed Sailor’s continuous progress in blurring the lines between post and pop rock. “I want to transcend the barrier that being an instrumental band with no vocals can sometimes bring between the artist and the listener,” says Ford. “When I sit down to write a song, I’m not writing a post-rock song, I’m writing a pop song. I’m singing through my bass lines. The bass is my voice and the notes are my lyrics. I love how bands like Tycho and El Ten Eleven have created their own voices through instrumental music that appeals to all listeners, not just post rock or instrumental music fans. My goal is to reach and inspire all music fans, not just post rock fans. Mute the Charm is all-at-once a love letter to specific cities and scenes, a longing retrospective on relationships with people and the past, a nod to formative artists and trailblazers, and a hopeful look ahead towards a less tumultuous future. Stay tuned to spartan records.for updates on Unwed Sailor, and be sure to catch the band on their upcoming tour with The Chills this fall – featuring a new live show with visuals by renowned UK artist Gary Prendergast.http://www.instagram.com/unwedsailorhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7kkPAVpkDYfXCSDzaRk6IU?si=iXhJnq3uRwKISiEk-zEsQwLAZERDISC Lazerdisc is a Philadelphia-based band formed by singer-songwriter and guitarist, Kevin Schultes.
