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/
