Blending elements of indie, alternative rock, emo and pop-punk with a heavy focus on vocal dynamics, the band has grown an increasingly dedicated and supportive following with each release. Members of the Philadelphia-area music scene, Pete Long, Andrew Hight, and Brian Quirk started jamming together after years playing on local shows in different bands with each other. Following a year-plus of writing and recording during the pandemic, MCGH hit the stage for the first time in late 2021 and has gigged rigorously in the local scene and on a regional touring circuit ever since. Since the band’s inception in 2020, the group has released 6 singles, 1 EP, and are currently working in the studio on an upcoming series of 2023 releases. https://linktr.ee/mycousinsgirlfriendshouse

Semler ~ Isabel Pless
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM SemlerSemler (Grace Baldridge, all pronouns), a queer singer-songwriter and content creator, has just announced their latest offering, Stages of a Breakdown out April 13th, 2022. The 5-song EP chronicles the saga of emotion following the demise of a pivotal relationship. This is not the first time Semler has rustled feathers through their strikingly honest and heartfelt music. Their February 2021 EP Preacher’s Kid, recorded independently and reaching over a million streams in the first few months, broke barriers when it rocketed to the #1 spot on the iTunes Christian music charts—making Semler the first openly queer artist to hold that position. In October 2021, Semler repeated the feat again rising to #1 – with their EP Late Bloomer. It racked up more than 250k Spotify streams in its first week, with double that on Apple Music.Semler’s bookends of Preacher’s Kid and Late Bloomer found humor, hurt, and healing at the intersection of queerness and faith and ignited grassroots support for the artist who began booking shows around the US – both headlining and sharing stages with Katie Pruitt and Relient K. Semler takes a leap of faith in questioning aspects of Christian culture and Christian responses to the LGBTQIA+ community through satire, love, and earnest feelings of hurt. Semler’s steady growth and candid songs & content have both touched a nerve and united a community, not to mention earned the attention of hundreds of thousands of listeners eagerly awaiting their next project.Stages of a Breakdown continues this momentum through a hard-hitting, brutally honest narrative of an EP. Over a two-week period in December 2021, Semler’s oldest friendship devolved into a total collapse because of anti-queer religious sentiment. Through the accusations, late-night text messages, and heartbreak, Semler wrote Stages… each song capturing a piece of what Semler felt during those two weeks.The first track “You’re Not My Friend,” released as a single with accompanying music video on April 1, 2022, is cathartic, tongue-in-cheek storytelling and sets the stage for the narrative to unfold. Next, “Don’t Tell Anyone” is a sultry, indie-pop bop written from Semler’s ex-friend’s perspective. “Twenties” then provides Semler’s response to that judgment and loss of love. The final tracks, “Raise Up” and “Outro,” narrate a resolution to the pain and find Semler once again searching for divinity amidst chaos.https://www.semlermusic.com/Isabel Pless https://www.instagram.com/isabel_pless/?hl=enhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/4lOW9vOCRgeh8peyg1mw1b?si=RWvtiH0jRdu-Ph8uXcCQ0w
Taking Back Indie

MakeOutClub was the very first emo nite anywhere in the United States (started in Feb, 2011), and it created the blueprint for every other major city to follow. Mr. Brightside brought Indie nights back into Philly’s mainstream. Parties like My Chemical Slow Dance (Emo Prom), Scene Queen Halloween, and New Years Emo, continue to raise the bar and show that there are “emo nites”, and then there are emo EVENTS… All of these events have one person in common, and we’ll give you one guess who that is.
Brit Taylor ~ Christiana Benton
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:40 PM Brit TaylorWhen hard times come calling, they don’t tap at the door to be invited in. They barge straight in and wreak havoc. Just ask Singer/Songwriter Brit Taylor who found her idyllic life suddenly turned upside down, and she was left in a downward spin. It was a new feeling and a scary one. But she called on her upbringing, her faith and her family for strength, and she dug herself out with grit and determination and music. Capturing life and pain with poetic ease and plain honesty is what the emerging Americana sensation does well. Brit writes and sings about what she lives, what she knows. Real Me, her debut album being released November 20, is a self-reflective, 10-song LP telling of a journey to self-awareness. The aptly titled album has a unique vulnerability that is both empathetic and empowering.Spotify | Instagram | YouTube | TikTokChristiana Bentonhttps://www.christianabenton.com/
R.A.P Ferreira ~ Brightboy ~ ELDON (Cambridge Hall)
Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM**All Ages**R.A.P FerreiraR.A.P. Ferreira fka milo aka scallops hotel is an mc, producer and theorist working in the Black arts tradition commonly categorized as rap. Having founded the label ruby yacht in 2015 and since releasing all of his music through this channel, Ferreira has earned a sizable following within independent hip hop by rigorous, constant touring and an elevated, explorational style of performance. He is known for an uncompromised, utopic flow that speaks directly to the root of the listener. By 2018, the young artist galvanized his presence in the American rap scene with the opening of Soulfolks Records & Tapes in Biddeford, Maine. Ferreira has a sprawling, limitless catalog ranging years, names, geographies, intentions, collaborations, and vocabularies. In an era defined by keyword search, soundbyte, cosign, marketing and virality this artist’s work stands out by not cow tailing to the movements and trends of the digital sphere. He currently makes his home in Nashville, Tennessee where he continues to helm the Ruby Yacht while studying to become a blues guitar legend and a farmer. FB @modestmilo Twitter @yomilo IG @hipcatscience New Album ‘5 to the Eyes with Stars’afrolab9000.bandcamp.comrubyyacht.comBrightboyHailing from Boston with a life like a dreamy montage. One moment he’s surrounded by bulky 80s rack stacks in his a/v tech dads mobile production lab, Jazz on the hi-fi. Next, on a commune in the forest, with his psychic Gemini mother and his yin-yang twin brother, sounds of laughter lofting from the lake. I’d say he was born under a RAD sign. For Bright Boy, music was always just a part of life. Memories of dropping rhymes on walks home as a youth, beatboxing and cracking jokes. Picking up sticks and busting a slick break his first time sitting at a kit. His brilliant skills on stage come from his natural good humor and impromptu impersonations of everybody’s favorite cartoons. Which characters? All of them. Theme songs? Yep. To the T with a comedic twist on top.https://linktr.ee/BrightBoyJNWIG @docbrightjnwELDONhttps://eldonsound.bandcamp.com/https://linktr.ee/eldonsomersIG @eldonsomers
