Schaffer the Darklord ~ Coolzey ~ Joe Jack Talcum
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:30 PM Schaffer the DarklordSchaffer the Darklord (or STD) is a New York City-based rapper, drummer and comedian with material best-suited for nerdy and/or hedonistic audiences. With manic energy fueling a cartoonishly commanding stage presence, STD skewers such topics as substance abuse, sexual compulsion, urban anxiety and obsessive cat-enthusiasm. Imagine a Frankenstein-esque monster assembled from equal parts Bill Hicks, Adam Yauch, Joey Ramone and Prince, stitched together inside the shell of a maniacal heavy metal ex-patriot. STD has released nine albums and is a founding member of the touring nerdcore hip-hop collective known as the Four-Eyed Horsemen, along with MC Lars, Mega Ran and MC Frontalot. When he’s not on the road, he produces the NYC burlesque/wrestling hybrid event called “TasselMania.” STD continues to write, record and perform with great frequency and has no intention of stopping until his rock and roll lifestyle destroys him.CoolzeyGolden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt and tempered by 90s alternative era rock influence yields a juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world, allowing for a wide, unpredictable arsenal of material ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop.Joe Jack TalcumJoe Jack Talcum (a/k/a Joe Genaro) is an American musician and songwriter who co-founded the Philadelphia-based punk rock band The Dead Milkmen. He has been performing with The Dead Milkmen since the early 1980s and has been performing solo acoustic shows since 2004 during which time The Dead Milkmen were on hiatus.

Loves Hackers aesthetics and is an aspiring cult leader.@therealmelissabNazeer Art’audNazeer Art’aud is an independent artist from Philly who began rapping at the age of 12. His earliest vivid memory of falling in love with hip hop, is cruising through Philly in his Uncle June’s green hoopty listening to Gimme the Loot by The Notorious B.I.G. Alex Smith of WXPN described his style as “the epitome of the street stories and outre metaphors of late ‘80s to early ‘90’s hip hop, exhibiting a lyrical quality delivered in the cadence of peak Biggie Smalls but drunk watching Saturday morning cartoons.” Art’aud wants his music is to entertain audiences via dope storytelling, and in return, he just wants them to feel something while traveling on the musical journey that he takes them on. http://linktr.ee/nazeerartaudMan Like MachineMAN LIKE MACHINE are a Philly three piece that surf an alternative wave of grunge and Electronica into a new density… The explosively rhythmic trio recently began work on their highly anticipated debut album and follow up to 2019’s “3×3,” the 432 frequency driven three-song EP released under Seventh Wave Records. “Sequential series of perpetuating nuance of tone, horror, and unforgettable vocal deliverance. The EP 3X3 leaves Man Like Machine a force to be reckoned with.” V13 Magazine https://campsite.bio/manlikemachine

Will Joseph Cook (Cambridge Hall)
**All Ages** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Will Joseph CookWill Joseph Cook makes music that will put a smile on your face. The indie-pop dreamer’s third album, Every Single Thing, is an exercise in joy: a collection of unashamed love songs, it’s a bubbling and exuberant reminder to cherish the present. “I felt that from a cultural perspective, not that many people write about love in a positive way or from a perspective of being happy anymore,” Cook says. “Most of the sincere, biographical writing these days is about a break up or the pursuit of love, whereas I just wanted to celebrate the moment I was in rather than looking forward or backwards. I wanted to see what a sincere love song sounded like in 2021 and share what I was feeling. All of the songs are real in that respect. They’re all based on my life.” Aside from being in love and releasing a new album, Cook has bountiful reasons to celebrate this moment in time. The past 24 months have seen his life change exponentially. After he released his second album, 2020’s chirpy yet reflective Something To Feel Good About, one of his songs, the glimmering and breezy “Be Around Me,” went viral on TikTok. This wasn’t just viral, though: for weeks the cutesy bridge of “Be Around Me” was inescapable, becoming one of the platform’s most popular sounds with over a million videos made using it. “A good chunk of the top 200 videos will have had millions of views, too,” Cook says, still in disbelief. “So how many times was it heard? It’s kind of magical in that respect. Also, I had no control over it. Even if I deleted it, it’s part of the internet. It’s in TikTok’s DNA. It’s not mine anymore.” Such an explosive response to his music was validating for Cook, who says that he’d been feeling a bit of self-doubt about his place in music before “Be Around Me” blew up. Why? Because despite his young age, the 24-year-old is a little bit of a music industry veteran. Born and raised in Tunbridge Wells in the south east of England, Cook has been involved in music since he was a teenager, gigging locally and uploading music to YouTube and Soundcloud. His songs about the tumult and technicolour of teenage life captured the attention of managers and before he knew it, he had signed a major label record deal by the age of 17.https://willjosephcook.co.uk/

Their last album SKIN SUIT was produced by underground punk-legend Jon Spencer of the Blues Explosion and was released via Alive Naturalsound Records in 2020. Henry Rollins said “The Bobby Lees Skin Suit album is wild and different. I dug it immediately. Dangerous music is good for you”.https://thebobbylees.bandcamp.com/The MembrainsDrawing heavily from garage bands of the 60’s, punk from the heyday of 1970’s CBGB, shaking it up and giving it a modern twist; The Membrains are one of the latest bands making waves in Philadelphias music scene. Their video/single “The Hunt” was released back in September to resounding reviews and has been said to sound “like a Joy Division song dialed into a gnarly guitar pedal or three” and accompanies a video that is “is a gory homage to classic slasher films”, definitely a must watch. Coming at you with their aggressive yet catchy tunes, a chaotically high energy live show, and more swagger than rock-n-roll’s greats, The Membrains are truly a force to be reckoned with.
