Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM Stone Cold GraceStone Cold Grace is the solo indie-folk project of Sara Johnson. Though it was born initially from her desire to write songs and connect with others, it has transformed into something much more all-encompassing. Stone Cold Grace has become a mythology for Johnson; someone whose shoes she steps into when playing and performing her deepest thoughts and feelings. Her new record, done with Brian McTear and Amy Morrissey at Miner Street Recordings in Philadelphia is Stone Cold Grace at her barest and most brutal. Emerging from an almost 10 year relationship at only 23, Johnson channeled all of her grief, growing pains, and quiet longing into her latest work, releasing independently this coming Spring.      EliseElise Petersen is a Brooklyn based indie-folk artist who is heavily influenced by her friends. After a jazz debut “Doorsteps” in 2023, she pivoted into the folk space with her debut EP “Wasted Time In Mirrored Minds” in the spring of 2025. Elise hopes to bring feelings of groundedness and curiosity with her music.   Daphne Ellen Daphne Ellen is a musician and songwriter based in Philadelphia. By way of a small town in Massachusetts and the daughter of a librarian, she is a lover of songs and stories alike. Her music has been featured on Spotify’s Fresh Indie Finds and Indie Bluegrass playlists and WXPN radio.

Schoolgirl Byebye ~ Brad Stank

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   Schoolgirl Byebye The band Schoolgirl Byebye started because two best friends fell in love. Schoolgirl Byebye is an indie-pop band insisting on using as few effects as possible to create beautiful melodies. Over the past seven years, they have proved that soul mates do exist in this world. Indeed, musical composition makes up the life of this young couple.   Brad StankImagine stepping into a gig to see Barry White and Love Unlimited jamming with Mac DeMarco, or TOPS teaming up with Ween to play through Marvin Gaye’s ‘I Want You’. And centre-stage stands an unlikely lothario, who somehow makes playing such luscious, lustrous sounds look effortless – all with a shot of spirituality thrown in for good measure. Welcome to the world of Brad Stank.Our man Brad has been on the cusp of something special for a while. In 2017, he uploaded two home-recorded tracks (‘Daddy Blue’ and ‘O.T.D.’) that he had written for his girlfriend at the time. His SoundCloud blew up, going from a dozen plays a day to 500 or more, eventually taking those two songs to 19 million streams at Spotify alone. Meanwhile, the likes of Clash and The Line of Best Fit were heralding him as one to watch, with i-D praising him as being, “Probably the only weirdo Scouse jazz crooner you’ll ever need.” And those talents grew with every release, taking in the ‘Eternal Slowdown’ EP in 2018 and his 2020 debut album ‘Kinky Om’, before lockdown mania took him on a detour into country with the ‘Hank Stankovic’ EP.But now Brad raises the bar with his upcoming second album ‘In The Midst of You’. The stoned baritone of his voice brings the dusky, after hours vibe to a collection of songs which playfully traverse R&B, laidback psychedelia, and jazz. From the warmth of the live instrumentation and the authenticity of its ‘70s tones, it’s accomplished in a whole new way. If you’ve ever enjoyed Brad’s previous impressively unhurried slow jams, you’ll discover ‘In The Midst of You’ lives up to his early potential with new-found grace and elegance, without losing his original desert dry humour or DIY aesthetic.

Delcobras ~ Team Goldie ~ Quiet Time

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   DelCobras   DelCobras are a Three Headed Pop Monster from Delaware County (Delco), Pennsylvania, featuring Jim Lorino (vocals, guitar, synths), Marc Schuster (bass, vocals), and Nick Cervini (drums). Known for fun, catchy, hook-filled power pop with pop-punk and garage rock influences, reminiscent of Weezer or Fountains of Wayne, they deliver upbeat, energetic songs with lyrics often touching on relatable local experiences. They gained traction with singles like “The Turnaround” and the EP New Skins, including airplay on WXPN and Sirius XM.   Team Goldie   Team Goldie is the solo project of Philadelphia-based musician Matt DiStefano who combines elements of pop-punk, hip-hop and hair metal into his own genre-bending style of pop music. As a live band they are five dudes with attitude delivering arena energy on a VFW budget. RIYL: Html code on a MySpace page, a mislabeled Blink 182 song downloaded from Napster, your mom picking you up from Warped Tour.     Quiet Time   Quiet Time is the rare Philadelphia emo band born from a pandemic, a basement, and the universal feeling that someone out there is definitely having more fun than you. Formed when vocalist MaiAda Carpano and guitarist Nick Tuttle turned their COVID-induced row-home cabin fever into a mission, the band grew as they recruited friends who shared the same DIY spirit, gear of varying reliability, and enough angst to power several zip codes. MaiAda’s myth-meets-modern-meltdown lyricism has resulted in songs about dating apps, growing up, and the tragic venues that no longer exist. Rounded out by Philly scene stalwart Tom Farnham, Philly Naked Bike Ride organizer Oren Eisenberg, and bike punk legend Randy LoBasso, Quiet Time has spent the last two years proving once and for all that sometimes the saddest bands make the most fun noise.

Skull Presser ~ Omit All ~ Violent Form

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   Skull Presser Skull Presser is metal influenced hardcore punk from members of Mannequin Pussy, the Wonder Years and other Philadelphia bands (Birthday Boy and One Dead Three Wounded). Formed in 2022 and with a demo EP released the next year, Jared Birdeye (vocals), Colins ‘Bear’ Regisford (bass), Michael Kennedy (drums), Sam Tropio (guitar) and Dan Zimmerman (guitar) write fast, heavy and violent songs about human struggle under the oppression of so-called ‘leaders’. Their newest release (9/6/24) from Born Losers Records, ‘Positions of Power’, pushes that sound further and the result is as punishing as it is unrelenting. The message is clear: We are all at risk. Oppression is all too common. Division is a tool.   Link: https://linktr.ee/skullpresser (social links on page)   Omit All Heavy Music from Philadelphia / Asbury Park   Links: https://linktr.ee/omitall   Violent Form Violent Form is a hardcore band from Philadelphia channeling raw frustration into crushing, feedback-soaked intensity. Blending harsh noise, blistering speed, and stripped-down aggression, they carve out a sound that’s both chaotic and brutally direct. Their new EP, Ritual Nerve, sharpens that vision—three tracks fueled by disappointment in humanity and the systems that keep failing it. Violent Form isn’t here to offer hope; they’re here to hold up a mirror to the damage.
