Archpalatine breaks down genre to create a new pop sound that may eloquently and appropriately be called “Histrionic Cosmic Soul”.Derek Anthony Wilson, frontman, is poised to not only create a lane for himself and his bandmates (Anthony Pompey – vocals, Aaron Wolf – percussion, and Ben High – bass) but also blaze a trail for creative risk takers, soulful story tellers, and theatrical musicians who challenge the old guard of musical gate keepers.Archpalatine infuses their musical presentations with theatrics traditionally reserved for stage shows and are reminiscent of large-scale Broadway features — be they performed on a grand scale, in intimate rooms, or at the trendiest outlets. Performances by this innovative team develops rapport with the audience, encourages audience participation through call & response, and incorporates danceable rhythms. Shows regularly include one-of-a-kind fashion designs and electronic components that engages both the audible and visual senses, alike. Not content with mere showmanship and intriguing music that makes you feel elation… Archpalatine aims to leave his audience so infused with good vibes and positivity that any in attendance is prone to leave a show feeling more jubilation than possessed upon arrival. Archpalatine provides a voice and an instrument to the feelings of hope, joy, love, and triumph that is so needed in this current climate. This serves as a departure from the mundane and discouraging weight and obligation life places before us. Archpalatine has been named among WXPN’s “The Philly 100” list as well as a designated staff pick for ALT 104.5’s & iHeartRadio’s Year End Awards. Trends fade, new artists come and go, but Archpalatine is the stuff of legend and poised to make each next year his best year, this last year his past year and his right now IS what’s next.

Goon ~ Queasy ~ Path
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Goon“Come along and wake up on the way,” sings Goon frontman Kenny Becker, “orange shapes arrange and change again/quiet Isaac in a mild dream.” The lyric evokes the hazy dreamscape spaces occupied by the band’s new album, Hour of Green Evening. Goon began as Becker’s Bandcamp solo project in 2015. At a friend’s encouragement, Becker compiled the best of his tracks and released them as an EP, 2016’s Dusk of Punk. He recruited bandmates from his college buddies and released a second EP, all the while working on the band’s first full-length, 2019’s Heaven is Humming on Partisan Records, followed by the self-released Paint By Numbers 1, a collection of his mid-pandemic home recordings. The evolution of Goon has come to full fruition on Hour of Green Evening. It’s the band’s most complete statement, engaging all aspects of their sound to stunning effect. The album thrums with mystery, with the half-remembered past hazy as dreams, the mixed sense of comfort and longing for freedom so essential to youth. https://open.spotify.com/artist/4NXLuWrShwLG44Had3qhw5?si=USgksUlEQz-HsKQa4rzeSwQueasycorinnemikesteviepavlohttps://queasyphl.bandcamp.com/Path Path is the recording project of Philadelphian Sam Keeler.

They tour the northeast regularly as a five-piece band featuring Donald McGrath (guitar), Jeff Silverman (bass), Jordan Dion (keyboards) and Jon Tomaro (drums). Spotify Youtube Instagram Bandcamp

Kali Masi ~ Sam Russo ~ Tightwire (Acoustic)
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Kali Masi Coming off their 2017 debut Wind Instrument, Kali Masi’s sophomore record [laughs] is more than a collection of songs – it’s a lifeline. Driving straight through the brick walls of often difficult subjects like emotional abuse, tense friendships and feeling comfortable in misery, the Chicago punks deliver poignant and empowering anthems of identity and self.This isn’t a record of nostalgia — it’s a record of the present. It’s a record for reflecting on where you’ve landed, how you got there and where to go next. [laughs] is an album urgently striving for self-awareness and presence, and for everybody listening doing the same. It’s recognizing you are not what others make of you – only what you make of yourself.https://kalimasi.bandcamp.com/ Sam Russo https://samrusso.bandcamp.com/Tightwirehttps://tightwirempls.bandcamp.com/

Rising Sun & Dave Kiss Presents: Harakiri For The Sky ~ Ghost Bath ~ Unreqvited (Cambridge Hall)
Harakiri For The SkyMӕre – a malicious folkloristic entity creeping on sleeping people’s chest during the night and causing breathlessness and anxiety. It’s exactly this state of diffuse terror and paralysis that has been enshrined in HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY’s music ever since their debut album. And now, more tales from feverish dreams are being released on January 29th in the form of the band’s 5th longplayer “Mӕre”, out via AOP Records.As pioneers of the post movement, mixing haunting black metal with post rock moments, the Austrians have, ever since their conception in 2011, drawn fans and critics deeper and deeper into their maelstrom of melancholy, self hate and anger, and even reached #29 of the German charts with their previous release “Arson”. And once again, several friends of the band entered the intoxicated world of HARAKIRI FOR THE SKY to guest on “Mӕre”: While Alcest’s front man Neige brings a haunting flair to ‘Sing For The Damage We’ve Done’, before the anonymous voice of Gaerea joins in on ‘Silver Needle // Golden Dawn’. As session drummer, the band one again commited none less than Kerim „Krimh“ Lechner (Septicflesh, live Behemoth) in the studio and the atmospheric artwork was designed by Art of Maquenda.https://harakirifortheskyofficial.bandcamp.com/releases Ghost BathGhost Bath refers to the act of committing suicide by submerging in a body of water. Ghost Bath writes and creates under the assumption that music is an extension of one’s own soul. They journey through the sorrow and sadness that all lives experience while leaving a glimmer of hope. They portray both deep anguish and angelic soundscapes that meld depression and joy in perfect harmony. The band started in October of 2013 with the release of their self-titled EP on Solitude Productions (China). This was followed by their debut LP titled, “Funeral,” which was released on Pest Productions (China) in June of 2014. The band’s highly acclaimed “Moonlover” was released on Northern Silence Productions(Germany) in 2015. In 2016, the band was signed by Nuclear Blast Records. Their latest album, Self Loather, will be available worldwide on October 29th through Nuclear Blast and Northern Silence.https://ghostbath.bandcamp.com/UnreqvitedAs a result of journeying into his mind and collecting a wide range of emotions, 鬼 has included many lighter and more uplifting passages than previously on “Beautiful Ghosts”, although dark twists are balancing the score. New elements include a significant use of clean vocals throughout the album and there are even playfully progressive rhythms as in the opening track ‘All Is Lost’. The core elements that have shaped UNREQVITED in the past remain active as well. The massive anthemic refrains from “Mosaic I: L’amour Et L’ardeur” (2018) are equally present as the simple melancholic melodies from the 2016 debut album “Disquiet” and the orchestral grandeur of “Empathica” (2020). https://unreqvited.bandcamp.com/LÁSTIMAhttps://lastimamusic.bandcamp.com/
Decent Criminal ~ Lost In Society ~ Those Troublemakers
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7PMShow: 7:30PMDecent CriminalWith a sound reminiscent of ‘90s alternative, punk, surf, and power-pop, Northern CA’s Decent Criminal offers catchy, upbeat songs that mercilessly collide with abrasive and often melancholy undertones, to bring forth a style that is both playfully compatible, and inadvertently raw.In 2014, brothers Hunter and Tristan Martinez took what was already an active touring act, and rebuilt it from the ground up, giving the band a new sound and set of players. Hunter, the band’s only original member, switched from guitar/vocals to drums, and the band never skipped a beat. Tristan, who was at one point the band’s fill in bass player, took on the key roles of guitarist and primary songwriter. The two brothers enlisted the services of bassist/vocalist Alex Kouninos, and later guitarist/vocalist Brian Gellman to round out the sound. The new band quickly developed their own style, with unique three part vocal harmony permeating their recordings, and live performances. In 2018, Jesse Hernandez (Caskitt) joined to entourage on bass guitar to complete the current lineup.Since the overhaul, Decent Criminal has released a 7” split w/ Screaming Mimi’s in 2015, a self-titled debut LP in 2016, "Bloom” full length LP via Dodgeball Records in 2017, “Bliss” LP in 2019 (via Bearded Punk/Wiretap Records) and most recent “DC EP” released March 2021. Over the past few years, Decent Criminal has picked up some serious momentum, thanks to a combination of prolific songwriting, and a relentless drive to tour and play live.https://decentcriminal.bandcamp.com/Lost In Society3 piece punk band from Asbury Park, NJhttps://lostinsociety.bandcamp.com/ Those Troublemakershttps://thosetroublemakers.com/
