Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 8:00 PMBLOOD CLUBBLOOD CLUB are a post-punk inspired band, drawing inspiration from each band member’s latin roots to create a unique, multilingual sound in their work. Founded by lead singer Jesse Flores in 2022, the band has amassed thousands of listeners during their first couple of months performing locally in chicago and plans to continue this upward trajectory as they create new music. As part of a three man band, lead singer Jesse Flores is a seasoned performer/guitarist and songwriter. Now taking a step into his own project and band along with his guitarist Jorge Calderon and Bassist Daniel Vela, the three man band hopes to continue amassing followers worldwide. Using minor key tonality, heavy synths and introspective lyrics, Jesse uses the occasional touch of spanish in his songwriting as well to create a hybrid genre of darkwave that has romantic, but dark undertones. Currently represented under Cruel Management and its affiliates, the band is on an upward trajectory and definitely worth giving a listen.Dustbowl Championhttps://www.instagram.com/dustbowlchampion/?hl=enCasket Cassettehttps://casketcassette.bandcamp.com/Saint CyanideSaint Cyanide makes designer noise. Their music combines dark synth basslines with post-punk guitars and dance floor drums – a reflection of their various influences and inspirations. The result is familiar yet original; a party and a gut punch. They consist of Philip Schorn (synth, percussion), Rick Mitchell (guitar, synth) and Steven Haslam (vocals). They’ve played in a bunch of bands over the years – together and separately – and blah blah blah, etc., etc. Proudly from Philadelphia.https://saintcyanide.bandcamp.com/track/mouth-knife

Party Nerves ~ El Dingo ~ Miniskirt

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 PMPARTY NERVESParty Nerves are a Philadelphia, PA trio that takes instrumental surf and runs it through a bad dream. Three musicians from three different countries decided to start a surf band having listened to absolutely zero surf music, and Party Nerves was the result; someone once called it ‘post-surf’ and they liked that enough not to question it. They have inspired some pretty exuberant mosh pits and some truly wild dancing. Party Nerves released their first EP – Put a Load On, Come Back Mangled – in 2022 and have a follow-up slated to drop in the fall of 2024. You can probably find them at the closest diner or falafel spot after the show.https://partynerves.bandcamp.com/track/going-to-hell-on-a-technicality | Spotify EL DINGOSpotifyMINISKIRTMiniskirt is a four piece based in Chicago, IL. Made up of PriscillaJimenez (bass/vocals), Steve Pigozzi (guitar/vocals), Conrad Navarro(guitar) and Jake Besen (drums). The band draws on a love of 60’s girlgroups, garage rock, power pop, and punk to make a dreamy andenergetic sound. They can inspire a raucous pit or a joint to bepassed around. Their self released debut album, Paint It Rad, justcame out in April.Spotify

Ducks Ltd. ~ Grocer

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 PMDUCKS LTDDucks Ltd. are a Toronto band featuring Australian lead guitarist Evan Lewis and U.K-born, U.S.-raised singer, bassist, and rhythm guitarist Tom McGreevy. As Ducks Ltd., the two thrive on skirting the edges of buoyant jangle pop and driving power pop. Their latest album, Harm’s Way, contains anxious songs that McGreevy explains are “about struggling. About watching people I care for suffer, and trying to figure out how to be there for them. And about the strain of living in the world when it feels like it’s ready to collapse.” Harm’s Way is an undeniable evolution of Ducks Ltd.’s songwriting process. Where their critically acclaimed 2021 debut Modern Fiction and 2019 EP Get Bleak were self-recorded and self-produced in a Toronto basement, here, they made an LP in Chicago with producer Dave Vettraino and some of their favorite musicians. These collaborators include Finom’s Macie Stewart, Ratboys’ Julia Steiner and Marcus Nuccio, Dehd’s Jason Balla, Moontype’s Margaret McCarthy, Lawn’s Rui De Magalhaes, Dummy’s Nathan O’Dell, and Patio’s Lindsey-Paige McCloy. Ducks Ltd.’s touring drummer Jonathan Pappo also appears on the LP. The band first showed this collaborative streak on a 2023 covers EP, which featured guests like Mo Troper, Ratboys, Illuminati Hotties, and Jane Inc. that boasted renditions of songs by The Cure, The Feelies, and The Jesus and Mary Chain. Where those songs started as ideas on days off from tour, Harm’s Way is also a product of writing on the road while supporting acts like Nation of Language and Archers of Loaf. “When we got signed, we had played maybe five or six shows ever,” says McGreevy. “After last year, it’s well in the hundreds. Those things change your perception of your own music and songwriting.” This well-earned and road-tested confidence made the making of this LP their most intuitive and organic yet. “Our relationship is built on trust and we don’t let our egos come into the creative process in any way,” says Lewis. “We have this really great thing where every decision with the band is filtered through both of us. Here especially, we really figured out how to make something that truly sounds like us.” GroccerGrocer is a band from Philadelphia. Lead by three distinct vocalists, each with a unique voice both on and off their respective instruments, they flicker between moments of brash chromaticism, saccharine pop sensibility, and rhythmic acrobatics. Their compositions are both meticulous and volatile, while their live performances are lauded for explosive chemistry with cheeky curiosity.https://itsgrocer.bandcamp.com

Sweetboy ~ Jake McKelvie & the Countertops ~ Chris Eichlin ~ Bristoltooth

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.

SIR E.U ~ Jah$tar ~ Airospace ~ Fast Car Slow Car ~ Ren Cinema

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 Sir E.U Washington D.C. emcee whose high-level lyricism and diverse beat selection transcends music genres. The raw genius that emanates from Sir E.U’s live shows is something one truly has to see to believe. “I’ve seen Sir E.U rap with a Helly Hansen jacket draped over his face. I’ve seen him rap supine on the sidewalk. I’ve seen him rap clutching three microphones in his hand, as if hoping to triple the size of his voice. I once saw him rap in a state of blinky delirium during the final moments of a 25-hour concert when he only ever stopped rhyming to drink water. These performance modes might sound like stunts, but in a cumulative sense, the D.C. rapper appears unable to stop himself from broadening the critic Kodwo Eshun’s beautiful idea of hip-hop as “omni-genre.” -Washington Post https://sireu.bandcamp.com Jah$tar The Northeast Philly avant-garde rapper is one of the most versatile artists in the city. Whether he’s rapping over production with intense 808s and cosmic melodies, or a traditional boom-bap beat, Jah$tar is always gonna body his verse. His dedication to remain fiercely independent as a musician represents a new generation of artists who are retaining ownership of their work and building truly authentic following. https://soundcloud.com/jahstarshi Airospace Airospace is a revolutionary artist, musician and photographer creating multidimensional raps for the people still living in the BPM of sensitivity. If their thought provoking lyrics and elevated, layered beats weren’t enough to bring catharsis – their vocal range is sure to invite the most hesitant and unlikely listener. Born and raised through the traumas of the trenches in Southeast DC, Airospace has made the most beautiful of their harsh reality with the medicine of honest expression. Bridging connections between anime, Japanese culture + HipHop, Airospace influenced the genre we know today as LoFi. https://open.spotify.com/artist/6gnWD8bGyUUn1H9j87F0B Fast Car Slow Car The Philly-based Electro-indie band has been on a musical tear this past year, captivating every DIY space, club, and venue graced with their presence.

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
