Mustard Service ~ Ryan Wright ~ Johnny Dynamite and the Bloodsuckers
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry* *Attendees are encouraged to wear masks while not actively drinking* 8PM – Doors 9PM – Show MUSTARD SERVICEMUSTARD SERVICE HERE. WE ARE A GROUP OF FIVE BOYS FROM MIAMI, FLORIDA JUST LOOKING FOR A GOOD TIME. NOW IF YOU’D LIKE TO TAKE THE TIME, WE’D LIKE TO TELL YOU HOW THIS SHIT-SHOW BEGAN. ON A WARM SUMMER EVENING IN THE YEAR OF OUR LORD 2015, A YOUNG COLLEGE DROP OUT IS IN HIS BACKYARD, GUITAR IN HANDS SCRIBBLING LAZILY ON A LOOSE SHEET OF PAPER. HE TAPS HIS PEN ON HIS CHIN INTENSELY, CONTEMPLATING THE FIRST AND ONLY LINE THAT READS: “I’M GOING DOWN”. HE STARES DOWN AT HIS PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR AN OPENING LINE AND CALLS IT A NIGHT. “EH, I’LL TRY AGAIN TOMORROW” HE SAYS. THIS IS HIS MANTRA. HE DIDN’T KNOW IT THEN, BUT THAT PATHETIC LITTLE LINE WOULD BE THE BIRTHPLACE OF A LITTLE BAND CALLED MUSTARD SERVICE AND THAT PATHETIC LITTLE LINE WOULD BE THE OPENING LINE OF A LITTLE ALBUM CALLED ZEST POP. FOR THE NEXT TWO YEARS MARCO RIVERO AND ARMANDO BAEZA (PRODUCER AND FORMER DRUMMER) WROTE AND RECORDED THE DEBUT ALBUM “ZEST POP”, BRINGING IN THEIR FRIENDS GABRIEL MARINUCHI (GUITAR), AUGUSTI DI CATARINA (BASS, BACKING VOCALS), AND LEO CATTANI (KEYS) TO PLAY THE SONGS LIVE AS A FULL BAND. THEY PLAYED A FEW PUSH-MOSHING, BEER-SPILLING, GEAR-BREAKING, COP-CALLING, ARRESTED-GETTING SHOWS THROUGHOUT MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, MANAGING TO AMASS A SMALL YET PASSIONATE FANBASE IN THEIR HOME TOWN. IN THOSE YEARS, GARAGEBAND™ TRANSITIONED INTO PROTOOLS™, RECORDINGS EVOLVED INTO MASTERED TRACKS, AND SMALL HOUSE SHOWS TURNED INTO PACKED VENUES. THEIR DEBUT ALBUM WAS RELEASED IN JUNE OF 2017, RELYING SOLELY ON LIVE SHOWS AND STREAMING PLATFORM ALGORITHMS FOR PROMOTION AND EXPOSURE. THE ALGORITHM GODS TOOK PITY ON THESE POOR FOOLS AND GRANTED THEM A WORLD-WIDE AUDIENCE OVER THE SPAN OF THE NEXT THREE YEARS, LEADING INTO THE RELEASE OF THEIR SOPHOMORE ALBUM TITLED “CES’T LA VIE” IN MARCH OF 2020.RYAN WRIGHTVirginia based singer/songwriter/producerSpotify // InstagramJohnny Dynamite and the BloodsuckersJohnny Dynamite is the solo alias of synth-centric singer/songwriter and producer John Morisi, though at times Dynamite is joined by his band “The Bloodsuckers”.

BLOOD HANDSOME ~ RYDER HOUSTON ~ COLD CHOIR ~ KISS OF THE WHIP
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM BLOOD HANDSOME (Los Angeles)Los Angeles darkwave act, Blood Handsome, is the solo project of Gerren Reach (Young & Cold Records). Blood Handsome’s sound is an eclectic mix of retro soundscapes, nostalgic synths, and cinematic undertones. Pulling from his post-punk roots and mixing his moody instrumentation, along with brooding vocals, Blood Handsome continues to evolve and mold his unique sound. His latest album, A New Calm, was released last year.https://bloodhandsome.bandcamp.com RYDER HOUSTON (Philly)Ryder Houston is an American filmmaker and musician originally from Dallas, TX now residing in Philadelphia. As much as his evocative sound dotes on alternative pop acts Depeche Mode, Garbage, and Nine Inch Nails, his inky discography continues veering deeper and deeper into a groovy electronica allusive to late ‘90s Massive Attack and Sneaker Pimps, his spidery vocals weaving clichés of lust and rock ‘n’ roll menace anew.https://ryderhouston.bandcamp.comCOLD CHOIR (Asheville, NC)Cold Choir launched from the sheer desire to create darkwave, dance music, with irreverent self-expression, poetry, and often-socially conscious subject matter. Mario (synth/production) and Franky M’s (singer/songwriter) music is ingrained in EBM, disco goth, early 80s electro, freestyle, and industrial, accompanied by a stirring vocal.https://coldchoirmusic.bandcamp.com DJ SET – KISS OF THE WHIP (Baltimore) DJ set by Baltimore’s favorite DJ, Tristan, from Kiss of the Whiphttps://kissofthewhip.bandcamp.com/

Will Joseph Cook (Cambridge Hall)
**All Ages** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Will Joseph CookWill Joseph Cook makes music that will put a smile on your face. The indie-pop dreamer’s third album, Every Single Thing, is an exercise in joy: a collection of unashamed love songs, it’s a bubbling and exuberant reminder to cherish the present. “I felt that from a cultural perspective, not that many people write about love in a positive way or from a perspective of being happy anymore,” Cook says. “Most of the sincere, biographical writing these days is about a break up or the pursuit of love, whereas I just wanted to celebrate the moment I was in rather than looking forward or backwards. I wanted to see what a sincere love song sounded like in 2021 and share what I was feeling. All of the songs are real in that respect. They’re all based on my life.” Aside from being in love and releasing a new album, Cook has bountiful reasons to celebrate this moment in time. The past 24 months have seen his life change exponentially. After he released his second album, 2020’s chirpy yet reflective Something To Feel Good About, one of his songs, the glimmering and breezy “Be Around Me,” went viral on TikTok. This wasn’t just viral, though: for weeks the cutesy bridge of “Be Around Me” was inescapable, becoming one of the platform’s most popular sounds with over a million videos made using it. “A good chunk of the top 200 videos will have had millions of views, too,” Cook says, still in disbelief. “So how many times was it heard? It’s kind of magical in that respect. Also, I had no control over it. Even if I deleted it, it’s part of the internet. It’s in TikTok’s DNA. It’s not mine anymore.” Such an explosive response to his music was validating for Cook, who says that he’d been feeling a bit of self-doubt about his place in music before “Be Around Me” blew up. Why? Because despite his young age, the 24-year-old is a little bit of a music industry veteran. Born and raised in Tunbridge Wells in the south east of England, Cook has been involved in music since he was a teenager, gigging locally and uploading music to YouTube and Soundcloud. His songs about the tumult and technicolour of teenage life captured the attention of managers and before he knew it, he had signed a major label record deal by the age of 17.https://willjosephcook.co.uk/
