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/

Forever Grey ~ Faux Fear ~ New Desires

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 PMForever GreyForever Grey is a darkwave band from Los Angeles, California. The first album was released in 2015 and was titled Poems About Eternity. Young & Cold Records produced Autumn Calling, Alabaster Chamber, Departed and Sympathy Garden on vinyl. Kevin and Anna are the artists behind musical projects Milliken Chamber, Prudence and Belladonna Grave.https://forevergreyband.wixsite.com/forevergreyFaux FearDetermined to “stop repeating the boring parts of the past,” goth/post-punk trio Faux Fear formed in late 2020 shortly after singer/drum programmer Audrey (she/her) and guitarist Nicholas (he/him) moved to Reading, PA. As true Cocteau Twins scholars they won’t play pop without the prefix “dream-” in front of it. Laying the groundwork for a new band in late 2020, the married couple wrote songs and developed their sound in quarantine at home for “when human interaction became a thing again.” An initial third member became convinced that Audrey and Nicholas were working for the CIA and running a sex cult (really), which almost left Faux Fear as a duo before the Philly-based Pra (he/him) answered a Craigslist ad and completed the picture on bass. Like their darkwave forebears, Faux Fear’s offerings like “Uncharted” and “Legacy” maintain a tricky balance between atmosphere and propulsion. The trio balances the stillness of reverberating specks of guitar with thick slabs of bass and drum machine as Audrey coolly explores the space between with her calmly intense vocal lines, smoothing over even the unexpectedly dissonant chorus of the latter and taking on a whole other dimension. “Code of the Sea” is as oceanic as its title and somewhat akin to folding the rippling waves of vintage Slowdive in with New Order’s most magnetic repetitive hooks.https://fauxfear.bandcamp.com/New DesiresSince 2010, DJ Paul T has been an integral part of DJSC, a revered event night in Philadelphia that pays homage to the iconic sounds of Depeche Mode, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, and The Cure. This specialized focus not only underscores DJSC’s dedication to celebrating the enduring legacy of these bands but also highlights Paul’s deep-seated appreciation for the foundational pillars of post-punk. As a co-founder along side John D, Paul T has cultivated a community of enthusiasts who share a passion for these groundbreaking artists, creating a vibrant space where nostalgia and contemporary soundscapes intersect. DJ Paul T’s career, spanning over two decades since he began DJing in 2000, has been marked by a constant pursuit of musical evolution while staying true to the roots that inspired DJSC’s inception. With the launch of “New Desires,” he expands the musical repertoire of DJSC beyond its original focus, embracing a broader spectrum of genres, including modern post-punk, dream pop, dark wave, new romantic, and FM synth-based music. This initiative reflects his ambition to explore the boundaries of music and to offer his audience a more diverse listening experience.https://www.djscphilly.com

Vacationer (both floors)

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. VIP Doors: 5:30 PMDoors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMVacationerHailing from the greater Philadelphia area. Founded by singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Ken Vasoli, Vacationer play a sophisticated form of dreamy, left-field music shaded with Exotica and Tropicalia influences. Vasoli’s unique production style is equally inspired by the ambitious orchestral pop of Brian Wilson and Barry White as well as the sample-based constructions of artists like Madlib. Prior to Vacationer, Vasoli was known as a member of pop-punk/emo band the Starting Line, as well as his more experimental outlet Person L. Gradually, Vasoli became tired of making aggressive music and screaming at the top of his lungs every night, so he formed Vacationer as an outlet to explore more relaxed, escapist moods. Rhythmic, heady, and hypnotic yet peppered with heartfelt lyrics and genuine emotion, Vacationer’s debut EP was released in 2011, followed by the full-length Gone in 2012; both were put out by Downtown Records. After touring with bands like Asteroids Galaxy Tour and Bombay Bicycle Club, Vacationer’s second album, Relief, was released in 2014. Several years of extensive studio work resulted in the band’s third full-length, the Daniel Schlett-produced Mindset, which arrived in 2018. Wavelengths, a fully instrumental album recorded during the same years as Mindset, was issued by Paxico Records in 2019. Vacationer has gone on to headline Philly Music Fest, performed the first ever Made In America Festival and toured with artists such as Paramore, Tennis, Niki and the Dove, St. Lucia, Rubblebucket and Sego. Vacationer is back with their first studio album in four years, Cherish, on Paxico Records. The new album taps into the sonically meditative and unpredictable psych-pop dimensions of the band. Cherish is an ode to Ken’s recently passed mother, as well as an expression of appreciation for his closest loved ones. Cherish download and preorder is available now via VACATIONERMUSIC.COM / PAXICORECORDS.COM. Out everywhere 10/20/23.https://www.vacationermusic.com/Spotify / Instagram / Twitter / YouTube
