Giraffes? Giraffes! ~ Black Dirty ~ Good Game
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 6:30 PMShow: 7:00 PMGiraffes? Giraffes!Guitar and drums duo GIRAFFES? GIRAFFES! have been making fiercely unique music since their explosion into the San Francisco Bay area in 2005. Their mostly instrumental, odd-time compositions quickly grabbed the attention of listeners worldwide and their second album ‘More Skin With Milk-Mouth’ is a quintessential math-rock album. With every new release, they continually make music that is both melodic and technical, experimental yet accessible- and the result is an experience that is both transcendental and incredible fun.https://www.giraffesgiraffes.com/ Black DirtyI can’t stop thinking about being shut off and the void.

Hotel Mira ~ The Zolas
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMHotel MiraVocalist Charlie Kerr worked out the song in 2020 through a series of intimate, early lockdown livestreams, but the track has blossomed from its acoustic roots towards a full-band affair of gel-slicked guitar and thick-as-thunder drum work. Kerr’s lyrics embody the unencumbered thrill of throwing yourself headfirst into a relationship, as well as the mix of joy and terror that comes with the discovery that “true love’s a lobotomy.”He explains: “That’s kind of been my experience, for better or worse. It’s all-consuming and lifechanging to find true love; it’s quite the ask to jump into something like that and be vulnerable. So, there’s a fear that the song speaks to as well.”Produced alongside Ryan Worsley (Dear Rouge, Monowhales) and mixed by Tony Hoffer (Phoenix, The Kooks), “Fever Pitch” is the first taste of new music from Hotel Mira following 2020’s acclaimed Perfectionism. The streaming release of “Fever Pitch” precedes a music video for the single, as well as Hotel Mira’s upcoming summer U.S. tour with Light Organ labelmates The Zolas, a Vancouver-area arena date with Billy Talent, and more dates to be unveiled through the fall.Hotel Mira are Charlie Kerr (vocals), Clark Grieve (guitar), Mike Noble (bass), and Cole George (drums).https://www.hotelmiramusic.com/ The ZolasMulti-award-losing alternative band from Vancouver, Coast Salish Territory.https://thezolasmusic.com/

Mamalarky ~ Hooky ~ Snoozer
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMMamalarky:~}} “Mamalarky’s tenderly tangled indie rock has the internal logic of ridiculous jokes shared between band members after spending weeks on the road together. In 2020, the young Atlanta-based quartet had more than enough time in each other’s company to develop an idiosyncratic musical language. The sum of friendships and collaborations dating back to their teenage years, the band’s debut album (Fire Talk 2020) melds flashy instrumental moves with head-sticking hooks and lovesick lyrics welcoming anyone into their private world. While Mamalarky are ostensibly an indie-pop group, they stand out from the laid-back melancholy moods of contemporaries with complex instrumental interplay that inspires lean-forward listening.” – Jesse Locke for Pitchforkhttps://www.mamalarky.com/ Hookyhttps://hoooky.bandcamp.com/SnoozerFormed by brothers Mike and Tom Keddy in 2007, Snoozer was a staple in the Philly house show scene for many years until their unceremonious demise in 2015. In 2021 the Brothers Keddy reformed Snoozer and have since released a new EP and a record on Julia’s War Recs. Instagram | Spotify | Bandcamp
Yellow Ostrich ~ Bathtub Cig
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PMYellow Ostrichhttps://yellowostrich.com/ Bathtub CigBathtub cig is the intimate depression pop project of Hilary James. Born in a Minneapolis bedroom the spring of 2017, it is an honest attempt at coping with her long struggle with mental health. She is joined by Dave Power on drums, Skyler Nowiski on bass, and Adelyn Strei on guitar, synth and harmony. Their 2018 debut EP “Old Light” draws comparisons to a synth-pop version of Frankie Cosmo with raw lyrics. 2021 Ep “bed” is both a dream-like and hazy musing on quarantine as well as a heartbreaking attempt to cope with grief. In a departure from James’ first full band EP “Old Light”, this new release is a stripped down solo voyage. Hilary is joined by Addie Strei (Adelyn Rose) on clarinet, flute, and bass to create beautiful textures to balance out the loneliness of the electric guitar. Their debut full length “Night Blindness” is out now on all streaming platforms!https://bathtubcig.com/

Layto ~ That Weird Kid ~ ARIEX!
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMLaytoLayto [aka Paul Catalano] was born and raised in Boston. Being the youngest of five, in the midst of family turmoil and dysfunction, music became an escape. Growing up, Layto was exposed to many different types of music through his parents and even taught himself to play the piano. Gradually, he grew a deep appreciation for melody, and with an already established passion for writing, it was a natural progression. After dropping out of college one credit shy of his degree in English, the focus shifted to his music. In 2018, Layto independently released his debut EP ‘Low Boy’ featuring single “Little Poor Me” which quickly gained traction from Sirius XM’s ALT Nation & now has over 50 million streams worldwide. Now with over 150 million catalog streams, Layto will be moving forward with Position Music Group as a label partner after inking a deal in June 2022. Layto has an intensity about his style, delivery and blending of alt rock, pop, and hip/hop elements. His music has given a voice to the millions who suffer from anxiety and depression.“When we get into the studio to cut a record, I’m always hyperaware of not trying to create something I could picture another artist singing. I want every track to feel like a Layto song, and with every release we continue to define what that means.”https://open.spotify.com/artist/0MqXw0plXKIaJtM342hIag?si=vf0G3I94S6umQ9fbayMWCQ That Weird KidBorn and raised in the Philadelphia area, that weird kid explores identity and escapism by blending sounds of punk, house, and electronic rock. all music platform links : https://ffm.bio/xrdzrmb Instagram : @fuckingsean Twitter: @duckingsean TikTok: @thatweirdkid.seanARIEX!

Josh Cashman ~ Miss Cantaloupe
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMJosh CashmanJosh Cashman is a natural born storyteller. Growing up in a household that was known for music blaring out of the living room as opposed to the television, he picked up the guitar at 11 and from the first chord he strummed, he knew music was his lifelong devotion. Cashman has come a long way since playing at school assemblies and open mics in his early teens. Now 27, he’s been on multiple international tours throughout North America, released two albums, and has a year ahead that will see him playing to thousands of music lovers across the globe in support of Tash Sultana’s world tour.When the world came to a standstill in March 2020 Cashman locked down and got down to business, writing over 70 songs in a 10 month span. “I wanted this global pause to mean something. I needed to give myself a sense of purpose when there was nothing very positive going on in the world and so I did the only thing I could do which was write, exercise, read and write some more. I’m grateful that I was able to stay motivated and had more than enough time to hone in on my craft and really explore, learn and develop my songwriting and production.” The latest release titled ‘Blue eyes’ is out June 22. “Blue Eyes’ narrative was inspired by a love letter that I wrote to my favourite internet girl as a young teenager. I found old notebooks/lyrics/poems at my parents house, opened one up, felt instant nostalgia and thought, this has to be a song. It’s clever, cute, and probably going to be relatable to many.” Already lauded by Triple J as having an “enchanting performance, charismatic vocals, [all] blended among sublime [with] warm guitar tones [and] a groove that’s hard to ignore,” there’s no telling what new heights Cashman can achieve over this next chapter of his promising career.https://www.instagram.com/joshjcashman/ Miss CantaloupeMiss Cantaloupe is a Philly based dream pop band formed in 2016 by singer/songwriter Christina Klaproth & drummer Sean Youngman.
