The band aims to sonically capture the moments of bliss amidst the chaos of existence. Prepare to groove, headbang, and maybe even shed a tear or two when this band hits the stage. MLMDGMLMDG (Moon-Liters/Millennium Development Goals) is the home recording and performance project of Philadelphia’s D. Liedel. Created in 2016 out of an attempt to add free improvisatory passages to existing songs from his previous band Katana Girl, MLMDG uses guitars and electronics to create audio puzzles and paranoiac ramblings. Sometimes dissonant, sometimes sonorant; sometimes concise, sometimes protracted; refractory rock in retrograde motion. SPIRIT FURNACE Spirit Furnace is a Philly-based experimental music group, blending shoegaze, prog, jazz fusion, and noise rock. MIDSIDE https://midsidephl.bandcamp.comFounded in 2018 as the recording project of Philadelphia’s Ryan Hankins, Midside focused on home recording techniques to achieve a guitar-centric soundscape at the intersection of analog and digital. Live, the band currently performs as a trio, taking their song structures on an improvisational journey – each performance different from the last. The spirit of improvisation lives at the heart of Midside.

Sedona ~ Scarlet Rae
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 PMShow: 8:00 PMSEDONA”Domino” is Sedona’s second single of 2023. Sedona says, “Life has a way of knocking you down when you’re already down. This song sheds light on a feeling we’re all familiar with – disappointment. When something doesn’t work out how we hoped it would, it stings, it burns. And sometimes that burn triggers what feels like a domino effect of trouble.” Sedona’s “Domino” was born out of that feeling.” Like recent single “Quicksand,” Sedona once again collaborated on “Domino” with producers Miro Mackie (Matt & Kim, St. Vincent, Wallows, The Neighbourhood) and Daniel Chae (LP, Samia, Middle Kids, Geographer). Conjuring up female leads like Stevie Nicks and Madonna, Sedona’s sound emerges from the nostalgic undertow of hook-filled pop antics. Founding the project in 2018, Sedona began releasing music with her single “Call Me Up”, followed up by a series of singles and a debut EP, Rearview Angel during the pandemic. Her songs have been featured in Netflix show ‘Never Have I Ever,’ HBO’s ‘Generation,’ Disney’s ‘Just Beyond,’ MTV’s ‘Catfish,’ and the commercial for Ralph Lauren’s SS22 collection. Sedona has also been featured on Spotify’s Fresh Finds, All New Indie, Lorem and the top spot on Apple Music’s Indie Pop playlist. Sedona also sings in the band, Drugdealer. With a debut album in the works, Sedona has established an early foothold as a touring act with sold out headline shows in NYC (Elsewhere Zone One) and LA (Zebulon). She has shared the stage on tour with the likes of TOPS, Sir Chloe, Nation of Language, Barrie, Triathlon, Paul Cherry, Samantha Urbani and sets at SXSW and Treefort Music Fest.SCARLET RAE

Playing a brand of pop-punk infused with ska horns, the group takes after New Found Glory as much as it does Less Than Jake, and the band’s sweet, hook-laden choruses back this up. Catchy ska portions invade verses while No Such Noise offers its own take on a genre that has been around for decades.” The band will be celebrating the 10 year Anniversary of their album “For Closure”, so expect a set that will span the entire history of the band. THE BEST OF THE WORSThttps://thebestoftheworst.bandcamp.com/The Best of the Worst is a skacore band that started out as a joke in 2006 and never stopped playing. Several albums and countless DIY tours later they have carved themselves a small niche mixing melodic hardcore with upbeat horn-forward skapunk. Check out their latest LP Better Medicine and 7″ split with New Jersey pals, Folly, out now on Bad Time Records.CURIOUS VOLUMEhttps://curiousvolume.bandcamp.com/ Curious Volume began when Andrew (dNo) Paladino, John Trotta, and Cole Rice wanted to start a band in middle school. Influenced by a heavy dose of Pop-Punk and Rock, CV released EPs and built a strong local following in the Staten Island, NY music scene, leading up to their 2010 debut album Mumbles and Whispers. Around this time, they expanded their sound by experimenting with elements of Ska and Hard Rock that brought them into a new phase. Curious Volume reunited in 2018 for beloved local venue Dock Street’s 40th anniversary, and from there were inspired to work on new music. Armed with a relaunch, uber-talented Swiss army knife Brian Buchanan, and new music nearly ready to go, Curious Volume is ready to show the world what’s next.TAKE TODAY taketoday.bandcamp.com Take Today is a 4 piece punk band from South Jersey formed in 2003 that that is full of nostalgic energy and carries with them a wide range of sonic emotion. Fast songs, poppy songs, moody songs, and even dabbled in ska punk. Some say old school Alkaline Trio meets Jawbreaker, some say they’re simply too loud.

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 PMSweetboyAnna Barnett and Jon Flores followed a typical trajectory of the closet artist: each wanted to passionately pursue music for a career when they were teens, but each put those dreams away when secure, 9-5 jobs came knocking after college. That is until 2018 when they met on Craigslist and started collaborating after their day jobs. Their early works, like “North Dakota” and “Build You A House,” present the unique balance between Jon’s classical piano training and Anna’s background in English literature and storytelling. They began to play at open mics around NYC, added on more band members, created some demos, and as the momentum grew, they started investing more and more of their energy—and their whole selves—into the music. In 2019, Sweetboy was born, and in October 2023, they released A Day in the Park, their first album culminating years of steady song crafting and faith.https://open.spotify.com/artist/3KotnRYOW5EFR5cfsa4KTT?si=EMA2pas_R-mS9wd2MlACQQJake McKelvie & the CountertopsOn A New Kind of Hat, the new long-player from Massachusetts’s own Jake McKelvie, indie-rock melodicism slow dances with alt-country ramble. A kind soul that’s just a touch world-weary, McKelvie’s careful economy of language belies a sly sense of humor set against a backdrop of unadorned instrumentation. Thematically, the record strikes the perfect balance between serious musing and whimsy. With his band of in-the-pocket players at his side, McKelvie has crafted a record that is equally at home in the listening room as on the dance floor. Eminently engaging and full of nuance, A New Kind of Hat is a record destined for a treasured spot in your collection. https://open.spotify.com/artist/0Hd5B36qOoLcEo30HeGloF?si=BuRQ0Y8-SU2XUbAKoN3mLwChris EichlinLoving, Sweet, and sometimes melancholic like a last goodbye hug – the alternative folk of Chris Eichlin radiates through the unfurling landscape of an ever changing life. Welcoming the inevitable. Though love and loss is rather cliché for a folk singer, he also finds comfort in the personal solace of the artistic ebbs and flows. His melodic, detuned fingerpicking whispers the influences of Alex G, Father John Misty, Bon Iver, Nick Drake. Eichlin is a frequent collaborator and band member to Ryan Morro (Sci-Fi Godfather).https://open.spotify.com/artist/5yoJihpu7Usezp0NHslFOx?si=h0kzCa9SRvupabj-sHXFAABristoltoothBristoltooth is an American rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Low Hum ~ Val Fleury
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: 8:00 PMLow HumLow Hum, the kaleidoscopic creation of native Hawaiian artist Collin Desha, lives in a Lo-fi meets Hi-fi futurism: Blending fuzzed-out riffs, oceanic tranquility, and pop sensibilities, alongside melodious synths and honeyed vocals. Low Hum’s mesmerizing exploration into the sounds of the yin and yang as we live it is a journey through psychedelic soundscapes and grounding lyrical concepts that call to our courageous self; to face the unknown. Desha, who has carved out his niche in the indie rock world, continues to shape Low Hum’s distinct sound and identity on the latest offerings from Terra Incognita, upcoming full length album due May 2024 via Last Gang Records. Consequence of Sound likens “Only If You Say So” to “a cut from an alternate universe where Thom Yorke went a more club-friendly route with his electronic work. With falsetto vocals and ominous synth pads, the tune sets up a visceral and futuristic vibe that explodes into fuzzed out madness. Its a compelling, dynamic, deeply satisfying composition.” The consummate Low Hum bass synth tone and ripping riffs on opening track “Meet Me In The Sky” are instant welcome-to-the-show earworms, and “Hints” touches on what it means to human, the nature of reality, and the power of love in a forever uncertain world. Since the release of debut album Room to Breathe in 2019, and follow up Nonfiction in 2021, Low Hum has also garnered praise from tastemakers like NPR, KCRW, Clash and Relix Magazines, with Flood Magazine describing the music as “floating in similar sonic atmospheres as Tame Impala and High Fidelity legends, Beta Band.” Fan favorites “Comatose” “Nebraska” and “I Don’t Know Me Like You Do” have garnered tens of millions of streams on Youtube, Spotify and Apple Music, and Low Hum has played to thousands on tours spanning Europe, Canada, and the US. Currently on the road with Meltt, and upcoming dates on the east coast dates supporting Ra Ra Riot in May. https://www.low-hum.com/Val Fleuryhttps://www.iamvalfleury.com/
