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: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PM Surf Trash Fresh off a sold out Australia + New Zealand tour, and the release of their second EP ‘Under The Radar’ in January, Surf Trash are keeping the momentum going with the release of their newest single Spice It Up & Aus regional tour to go with it. Spice It Up maintains Surf Trash’s signature blend of gritty riffs and addictive high energy hooks – while demonstrating that with each new release, the group are challenging their sound that is varied and unique to their own. With a new 4th member but a lifelong brother of the group ‘Patrick Russell’ now a part of the ST operation as lead guitarist. The NSW based quartet are more powerful than ever and are keen to share what they’re been working on. Spice It Up is a swirling miasma of driving punk with a catchiness that belies its gloomy tone. Raw, Roomy and hard-hitting, the outfit have focused on capturing their raw live sound that they a renowned for on the road. With a tip of the hat to the 90s Aus rock scene they grew up on, idolising greats such as The Celebrate Rifles and Radio Birdman. Scott’s rather unusual lyrics on the track ‘Systematic rompa-syompa’ and ‘release the chompers’ he says are about “not acting to a system or a fixed plan and living your life in freedom opposed to being controlled within the modern worlds box.” With this being the first taste of Surf Trash’s forthcoming album, the hard-hitting track sets the standard for what’s to come.

Oceans In The Sky ~ The Earth & All Within ~ No Trees Touch The Sky ~ Connor Lin Frost
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 PM Oceans in the Sky (NYC)Oceans in the Sky is Liam Frost’s high-energy project, blending soaring pop melodies with punk energy and multilingual lyrics. Now performing as a full band, they released their debut album Parallels in 2023 and toured throughout the U.S., Canada and Taiwan from 2023 to 2025. Signed to Philadelphia-based Heading East Records, run by Fred Mascherino (Taking Back Sunday), their latest release Parallels (Deluxe) was co-produced by Jon Markson (The Story So Far) and mastered by Brian Lucey (Green Day, Post Malone). It explores themes of identity and belonging while bridging Western and Eastern musical influences. Connor Lin Frost (VT)Burlington, VT-based Taiwanese-American artist Connor Lin Frost is a trumpeter, songwriter, and producer who explores themes of isolation, loss, and identity through dramatic strings and emotional brass that define his “chamber-pop” style. Drawing inspiration from Sufjan Stevens, The Postal Service, and Owl City, Frost uses storytelling-driven lyrics to invite listeners into deeply personal experiences. Since releasing his debut single “Real Friends” in December 2024, he has consistently released new self-produced music every 4-8 weeks. Frost previously fronted the NY-based pop-punk band Dizzy Bats for over a decade, touring across the U.S. and internationally from 2012 to 2023. No Trees Touch the Sky (Philadelphia)No Trees Touch the Sky emerged from the Philadelphia music scene in late 2023, formed by members of a previous project. Drawing from late ’90s to mid-2010s post-hardcore, they blend ambient textures with indie sensibilities. Their releases, including “Chrysalis,” “3 Visits,” and “Enrythm,” showcase a dynamic range from mellow ambience to intense crescendos, delivering emotionally driven performances that continue to build a strong connection with their audience. The Earth & All Within (Philadelphia)The Earth & All Within represents a deliberate collision between the raw energy of late ’90s and early 2000s rock and the refined elegance of classical music. Built on the duality of “The Earth” (grit, guitars, rebellion) and “All Within” (brought to life through a string quartet), the project blends veteran Philadelphia rock musicians with globally trained orchestral collaborators. The result is a cinematic, story-driven live experience that bridges rock and classical worlds.

Slim Chance ~ Tierney Green Band ~ The Sass
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: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM Slim Chance Slim Chance is a Philly-based rock band that draws its sonic identity from British Invasion garage rock, American folk, blues, and late-70s power pop. The band came to be in 2025 when Liz Van Horn (vocals/guitar), Steve Newell (drums), Mike Dudolevitch (guitar/vocals) and John Cunningham (bass/vocals/production) joined forces and had so much fun playing together that they didn’t care if there was a “slim chance” anything would come of it. They are excited to have just released their debut EP “Kind of Love” this April. Tierney Greene Band Tierney Greene and her band of boys came together in early 2025 to play songs old and new, existential and neurotic, from Tierney’s brain and heart. Tierney and the boys have all been playing music throughout the area in various formats for many years. It has been said that the band’s sound includes serene melodies gliding over rhythms that stay in motion, synchronistic moments of coming together and falling apart, delicate melodic lines and chugging, driving, tender, sometimes raucous percussion. A tangible day dream through lyricism that feels like the moment that black-and-white tv meets color. The Sass Dave Cope and the Sass was formed in 2019. At the time, the band consisted of prolific Philadelphia singer songwriter Dave Cope on guitars, keyboards and vocals, Ethan Ryder on bass and Fred Berman on drums. The band cut their first self titled release in that same year. The album was met with great reviews and featured the minor hit single If Your Mama Only Knew. In 2022 the band released a follow up entitled Julee, including songs Cope had written much earlier, recorded with a previous band called Dave Cope and the English Breakfast, again with Ethan Ryder holding it down on the bass. The album was a hit among power pop aficionados and was named the #1 album of the year on David Bash’s International Pop Overthrow list of top records of 2022. Since then, Cope and the band have continued to release new music including the albums Songs Of Sea And Sky and Hidden From The World. The current line up includes Cope on guitars and vocals, Sarah Biemuller and Alison Wadsworth on backing vocals, Lucas Rinz on bass, Fred Berman on drums and Justin Mazer on lead guitar. Though only playing live shows here and there in the past couple years Sass has had some noteable appearances including opening for 90s legends Huffamoose at Ardmore Music Hall in 2025. Cope is continuing to release new music including the 2025 release Walmartyr. More full length albums are scheduled for release in 2026 and 2027. Many of the Sass records are available at Kool Kat Musik.
