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 PM The Unlikely Candidates The Unlikely Candidates are an American indie rock band from Fort Worth, Texas, formed in 2008. The band consists of lead vocalist Kyle Morris, lead guitarist Brenton Carney, guitarist Cole Male, and bassist Jared Hornbeek. Their song “Novocaine” topped the Alternative Songs chart and has received over 66 million streams and video views as of July 2021. They were signed with Atlantic Records in 2013. The band parted ways with Atlantic and signed to Another Century beginning a long journey through the Sony Records system. The band spent a year with Sony Red before being absorbing into The Orchard. With over half a dozen media base charting singles TUC is currently operating as an independent artist self releasing music. slo/tide Born from two decades of experience both music creator and fan. slo/tide is the alternative entity of respected three-time Grammy nominated Underoath frontman Spencer Chamberlain. Collaborating with alt darlings Sir Sly on the debut single “Neck High” followed by the recently released “Lay Low”, slo/tide pulls from a unique blend of influences from acclaimed indie peers fused with the spirit of his hard rock roots to create an impressive body of work that is at once enlightening and arresting. At times an instantly-listenable perfect poolside soundtrack channeling the classic alt-pop stylings of Foster the People and Tame Impala, while at others diving into dark layers of musical experimentation a la Pink Floyd and Radiohead, slo/tide’s tracks are impressing both long-time fans and a whole new audience discovering their new favorite band. Bike Routes Bike Routes is David Lawrence Osterhout. Deeply intimate, earnest, and heartfelt expressions of anxiety, heartbreak, and acceptance lie within deceptively sugary melodies and hooks. David’s acoustic guitar is the anchor, inviting listeners into a notebook full of emotion and authenticity. The Garden State gave the world Bruce Springsteen, The Misfits, Lifetime, and The Gaslight Anthem. There’s perhaps a bit of the essence of each of those trailblazers within the Bike Routes sound. While the South Jersey singer/songwriter conjures the spirit of the iconic troubadours of indie rock, classic emo, and postmodern pop-punk, he distinctively carves a singularly unique identity all his own. Songs like “You Want It You Got It,” “World Apart,” and “Airplane” are modern ready-made anthems. Bike Routes performances of stripped-down versions of Tigers Jaw, As Cities Burn, Death Cab For Cutie, and Springsteen songs stretch back to before his first EP, Just Let It Go (2020), arrived. His debut album, Love is an Action (2022), was written and recorded, at first, as an acoustic record. However, producer Zach Tuch (Touché Amoré, Silverstein, Movements) helped expand the sound. The Rush of Energy EP, the first Bike Routes release via Blue Grape Music, crackles with urgency and energy without losing the intimate feel of the earlier work. “You Want It, You Got It” and “World Apart” are ready-made anthems for audiences who share Osterhout’s diverse tastes and passions.

W.I.T.C.H. (We Intend to Cause Havoc)

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: 6:15 PM Show: 7:30 PM W.I.T.C.H. (We Intend to Cause Havoc) Zamrock, the Afro-rock genre that swept southern Africa in the 1970s, was born in the Copperbelt region of Zambia, and WITCH was at the center of it all. In the beginning, lead singer Emmanuel ‘Jagari’ Chanda and the band looked for a name to match edgy rock sounds coming from Europe and America. First they tried Kingston Market, which sounded too reggae-ish, then they tried Footswitch, but there was a local artist called Dr Footswitch, so they shortened it to Switch, and then finally WITCH. “The posters were handwritten,” Jagari recalled, “so we would draw somebody on a broomstick.” Hot out of the gate, WITCH signed to Teal Records and began touring in a truck with a canopy emblazoned with the words: “Trespassers will be eaten” The graphic artist who wrote those words also gave the band its enduring acronym: We Intend To Cause Havoc. Jagari recalls, “There was no hesitation. Everyone agreed” And the rest is history. Fast forward four decades, and Jagari, along with veteran keyboardist/composer Patrick Mwondela, now lead a new, multi-national formation of the band. Sogolo is their second 21st century release. It’s the follow up to Zango (2021), which was recorded against all odds in the same Lusaka studio that WITCH frequented in the ‘70s—funky and dilapidated, but with a vibe that heralded a reawakening for the band. All this came as a surprise to Jagari, who had been trying his hand at gemstone mining when filmmaker Gio Arlotta arrived in 2014 – during Zambia’s jubilee independence celebration – to begin work on his 2019 documentary WITCH (We Intend to Cause Havoc). The gemstone quest was a bust, but Jagari recalls, “Sometimes when one door closes, another will open, and that turns out to be WITCH resurrected. Amazing! It has given me a new lease of life.”

The Be’lakor North America Tour 2025 kicks off on August 30 and will include 16 shows – including an appearance at Atlanta’s famous ProgPower USA festival. Be’lakor has built a reputation as one of the most influential and respected bands in the genre, thanks to five critically acclaimed albums, including Stone’s Reach (2009) and Of Breath and Bone (2012). With the band having toured Europe multiple times, North American fans have been made to wait for the chance to see Be’lakor live in their own backyards – until now. Solemn Vision Born and bred in Brooklyn, NYC, Solemn Vision is renowned in the mid-Atlantic metal circuit for their eclectic take on the genre. The band brings in a range of influences, most heavily building on the sounds of acts like Opeth and In Mourning. Solemn Vision’s live performances are high energy and interactive. Their focus has always been on showmanship and stage presence complimenting raw musicianship. This lethal formula has packed out venues and wowed audiences all around the region. The band is currently composed of Aaron Harris on vocals, guitarists Mauricio Cornejo and Kadin Wisniewski, Anthony Rafferty on bass, and Carlos Crowcell on drums. Solemn Vision’s music showcases a variety of sonic flavors ranging from frigid Scandinavia, to the deserts of the Middle East; from classic metal mastery to modern innovations. This range in their sound is in part a product of New York City itself, which has always been a melting pot of cultures, styles, and sounds. This approach has fostered a widespread fan base not just in the Tri-State metal scene, but with online followers all over the globe. The band’s self-titled debut was released in Spring 2019, to critical acclaim – and the band is already wrapping up their sophomore offering. Solemn Vision’s focus is on ensuring that the raw, melodic death metal sound of the band will never be compromised and instead only grow and evolve. As Solemn Vision gear up to tour and take on the world they hope to build on past accomplishments, including performances with everyone from Carach Angren to Kataklysm by way of incoming titans like Blood Incantation. This is melodic death metal envisioned in a new light, and it’s utterly, wonderfully twisted.

Pan Arcadia ~ Cab Ellis ~ The New You

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 Pan Arcadia Pan Arcadia has been making waves in the NYC music scene. With their high-energy performances and anthemic sound, the band has quickly gained a reputation for electrifying live shows and raw, unapologetic music. Their blend of dueling guitars, soulful crooning vocals, and powerful rhythms captures the essence of rock while pushing boundaries with modern sensibilities. Through sold out gigs at Bowery Ballroom and spotlights in Spin Magazine, the 5-piece has proven themselves a musical force not to be missed. The band’s next LP, produced by Hugo White (Jessie Ware, The Maccabees, Jamie T, Matt Maltese) and Pete Harper (Sara Bareilles, Madison Cunningham, Theo Katzman) is due this fall. SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eIFYyCbgvc6LT4ViIveax Cab Ellis If I told you New York’s alt rock scene is back, you might ask who’s responsible. Best known for their uninhibited, intoxicating live performances, Cab Ellis is the underground revival’s best-kept-secret. With a penchant for stage diving, spitting beer into mosh pits and splitting guitar strings center stage, the band stirs a certain chaos and confusion in young fans while conjuring a deep nostalgia for a bygone era in older listeners. At the age of sixteen, frontman Connor Abeles began rapping over YouTube beats at his family’s desktop computer in Hagerstown, Maryland. In 2018, Abeles moved to Los Angeles, where he met a group of USC jazz students and formed what would become the first full band iteration of Cab Ellis. While in LA, Cab Ellis released Nighttime OCD, their self-produced debut album, and The East Coast Hold On, with the help of legendary producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor).  In 2021, Abeles moved across the country to New York. Since then, Cab Ellis has completed two national tours and has sold-out iconic venues like Bowery Ballroom and Baby’s All Right. In an age where everything is polished and perfect, Cab Ellis’ live show and sound are a complete rebellion. Backed by an army of 6 jazz musicians bucking against the confines of their traditional training, Abeles’ heartfelt, explosive energy is capable of uniting a room full of strangers into one anarchic being. Cab Ellis is set to release their third studio album in April 2025. SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7hDfnuDsxOlgBPBEoa34Rh The New You
