Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Vethaken Vethaken (formally Pravin Thompson Quartet) is the Brain Child of Guitarist, Pravin Thompson. This project has been performing in the United States, Canada, and India over the last 10 years but only recently has dawned a new Identity. Vethaken is a mix of Post-Hardcore and Prog-Jazz. Vethaken means wise eyes in “Tamil,” a South Indian language that Pravin’s family speaks. This name has significance in his family tree, but to Pravin it is more of a mantra. For him, it means you can always find beauty in whatever struggle that is presented to you, as most of the music in the Vethaken catalog has been written during times of distress. In 2019 Pravin was able to bring his band to play the Toronto Undergraduate Jazz Festival, opening for the incredible Donny McCaslin. In March 2020 Vethaken released their first LP, “A Thoughtful Collapse.” With the pandemic in full swing the band relied heavily on digital marketing. Utilizing Facebook and Instagram Ads along with great content to build a solid fan base throughout the United States, Europe, and Japan. As of April 2026, Vethaken has made over $20,000 in online Merch sales across the United States. They have generated well over 1600 customers. Their next EP, “I’m all out of Beautiful Thoughts,” has been gaining traction across streaming platforms, and has brought a whole new dimension to their current sound. We Used to Cut The Grass We Used to Cut the Grass is a shapeshifting experimental ensemble from New Jersey led by composer/bassist Cody McCorry. Known for wildly varying instrumentation, the band is heavily inspired by the likes of Frank Zappa, John Zorn and Sun Ra, with roots in the blurred zone between progressive rock and jazz fusion. The group’s sophomore album, “We Used to Cut the Grass #2,” the follow up to their similarly self-titled album released in 2022, simultaneously made waves in the jazz, prog and math rock scenes, affirming the band’s unorthodox approach to composition. The album made it into Arctic Drones’ top 20 best jazz fusion albums of 2025, who described it as “a beautiful mess you didn’t know you needed.” My So Called Summer-For more than a decade, songwriter Claire Cuny and composer/producer Monte Weber have co-created the Brooklyn-born indie project first known as Reliant Tom and now re-imagined as My So-Called Summer. Blending Monte’s textural, boundary-pushing production with Claire’s visceral choreography and haunting vocals, the duo carved out a singular space in the Brooklyn indie scene—one that lived equally onstage, onscreen, and in immersive performance environments.

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Andres Hailing from Bakersfield, CA(home to iconic country music star, Buck Owens and the Nu-METAL pioneers in Korn) Andrés’ persistent touring schedule and ability to frequently release quality music will earn him a street named after him in no time. Although The Fall of Troy and Hail the Sun have been nice enough to let him open up their shows, Andrés has had trouble being embraced by the progressive post-hardcore community due to his embarrassingly cheesy lyrics and obvious musical show tune influences. Andrés’ social media bio reads “I ain’t nothin but a jazz hound baby.” In Angles In Angles is a progressive post-hardcore band hailing from East Brunswick, New Jersey. Formed in the early 2010s, the band has developed a distinctive sound characterized by intricate guitar work, dynamic rhythms, and emotive vocals. Their discography includes several releases that showcase their evolution as artists. In 2014, they debuted with the EP “Upstairs,” introducing listeners to their complex musical arrangements and heartfelt lyrics. Their newest record “The Light We Can’t Escape” received critical acclaim, highlighting their blend of technical proficiency and punk energy and further cementing their place in the progressive post hardcore and punk scene. Resilia Resilia was founded by guitarist John Benoit in 2018. The post hardcore band’s line up now includes vocalist Daisy Chamberlin (previouslyofIMetaYeti), Ethan Cate on bass, Grant Dickerson on drums, and guitarists Gray Trainer and Owen Robinson. Initially struggling to find a vocalist, Resilia released instrumental versions of “RoyalFlush”(2019) and “Gambit” 2020). With the bones of their sound recorded, the band connected with vocalist Daisy Chamberlin who soon became a full-time member. The band has performed and toured since 2022, debuting at Chain Reaction(Anaheim,CA) opening for Makari, and has gone on to play cities throughout the country including Chicago, Dallas, SanAntonio, Houston, and Orlando. Resilia released their debut EP in 2023, revealing their personalized take on the progressive post-hardcore sound. Carving out a distinct space in this scene, word of mouth has led to more than five million streams across digital platforms and a partnership with kill iconic, who will release the band’s debut showcase, By A Thread, in May2026.
Tommy Oeffling
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 Tommy Oeffling Tommy Oeffling makes his music in a bedroom on the second floor of a rather unassuming duplex in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and you can tell. You can hear every step he takes, every creak of his chair, every flubbed guitar part, and every breath he takes in his recordings, and he likes it that way. He wants it to feel human, and purely from himself and his upbringing; his music calls back to the CDs his Dad burnt onto an iPod Nano gifted to him for Christmas when he was eleven, and he feels it’s supposed to. Some call it nostalgic. He can’t tell. He also doesn’t really care. He’s currently in school to be a high school history teacher. He likes cooking dinner for his friends and going on half marathon-long walks a whole lot more than music. And you can tell that, as well. Some call it slacker rock, and they’re not wrong. His music comes across as if he just so happened to make it, and that’s exactly what makes it. His new album, “Picture of Health,” is out June 6th, 2025. Its ten tracks total to a mere 34 minutes, and its theme is just as simple; it’s really nothing more than an album about being twenty, made by a twenty-year-old. And you can tell.

She takes people on a journey through each song with themes centering on mental health, relationships and death. In 2025 she released her debut EP The End of May and is currently recording her debut album with her producer Ross Bellenoit. Sarah Winston Sarah Winston is a Philly-based songwriter currently at work on her debut album. She released her first single, “Peach Crush,” in 2019, and has since been writing and performing with her band, Winston.

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 Surf Trash Fresh off a sold out Australia + New Zealand tour, and the release of their second EP ‘Under The Radar’ in January, Surf Trash are keeping the momentum going with the release of their newest single Spice It Up & Aus regional tour to go with it. Spice It Up maintains Surf Trash’s signature blend of gritty riffs and addictive high energy hooks – while demonstrating that with each new release, the group are challenging their sound that is varied and unique to their own. With a new 4th member but a lifelong brother of the group ‘Patrick Russell’ now a part of the ST operation as lead guitarist. The NSW based quartet are more powerful than ever and are keen to share what they’re been working on. Spice It Up is a swirling miasma of driving punk with a catchiness that belies its gloomy tone. Raw, Roomy and hard-hitting, the outfit have focused on capturing their raw live sound that they a renowned for on the road. With a tip of the hat to the 90s Aus rock scene they grew up on, idolising greats such as The Celebrate Rifles and Radio Birdman. Scott’s rather unusual lyrics on the track ‘Systematic rompa-syompa’ and ‘release the chompers’ he says are about “not acting to a system or a fixed plan and living your life in freedom opposed to being controlled within the modern worlds box.” With this being the first taste of Surf Trash’s forthcoming album, the hard-hitting track sets the standard for what’s to come.
Blu & Exile ~ Quelle Chris ~ Sirplus
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 PMShow: 7:30 PM Time Heals Everything Tour Blu & Exile In 2007, while headlines were dominated by Kanye West vs. 50 Cent and the industry fixated on first-week sales, two artists on the West Coast were quietly crafting something timeless. Blu and Exile weren’t chasing the spotlight — they were building their own gravitational pull. On July 17, 2007, they released Below the Heavens — a debut that felt more like a sacred document than a first statement. Soul-soaked, sample-driven production. Raw, unfiltered vulnerability. No gloss. No gimmicks. Just truth pressed into wax. Early believers recognized it immediately. Underground purists and tastemakers hailed it as an instant classic. Limited to just 3,000 physical copies and leaked prematurely online, its scarcity only strengthened its mythology. If you had it, you understood. If you didn’t, you were already behind. Blu’s everyman reflections — grappling with faith, doubt, love, frustration, and ambition resonated deeply over Exile’s warm, golden-era-inspired soundscapes. Static in the samples. Dust in the drums. Pain and poetry in every bar. For the Okayplayer generation and beyond, it became a defining statement of West Coast underground hip-hop. The chemistry was organic. Introduced through Aloe Blacc of Emanon, Exile first witnessed Blu command a Los Angeles stage — hungry, electric, undeniable. One session became “Party ofTwo.” Then “Maintain.” Then a vision. A full-length statement. They knew it was special. By 2009, Blu’s momentum earned him a place in the XXL Freshman Class alongside Wale, Kid Cudi, B.o.B, and Charles Hamilton — proof that the underground could crown its own stars. But they never stopped building. The Albums That Followed After Below the Heavens, Blu & Exile continued to evolve together across four full-length releases, each expanding their sonic universe while preserving their unmistakable chemistry. Meanwhile, Blu expanded his catalog with one-producer masterpieces alongside Madlib, Evidence, and Nottz, while collaborating with artists such as Anderson .Paak, Talib Kweli, Your Old Droog, and Rome Streetz. Exile solidified his reputation as a producer’s producer with the modern classic Boy Meets World for Fashawn, experimental projects like Exile Radio, and production credits for Mobb Deep, 50 Cent. Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, and Snoop Dogg. Now, with nearly two decades of growth, experimentation, and refinement behind them, Blu & Exile return not as hungry newcomers — but as master craftsmen of their own lane. Their latest offering doesn’t feel like just another release; it feels like culmination. For longtime listeners, it’s a reunion charged with nostalgia and elevation. For new fans, it’s an invitation into a world where lyricism and soul still reign supreme. The foundation is solid. The chemistry is proven. And history has shown: when Blu and Exile connect, something timeless follows. Album Announcement on the way.
