Velvet Rouge (EP Release) ~ Caring Less ~ Lazerdisc
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry* 8 PM – Doors9 PM – Show VELVET ROUGEFinding beauty beneath the pain and harmony hiding in heartbreak is an art form that Gina Zo has mastered as frontwoman of the Philly-bred, L.A.-based indie pop act Velvet Rouge. “I have always been a drama queen so it’s helped that I could feel deeply, and I could sing it out and write it into songs,” says the fiery talent whose auburn hair is a natural extension of the band name and the synesthesia-like reflexes that has her seeing red when writing new material. “It’s always been an outlet for me to sing about people I was dating,” she jokes. From the whispered breaths of folk-pop track “Lonely Since The Day We Met” to the shout it out nature of rocking boot stomper “Shattered,” the material on Velvet Rouge’s upcoming self-titled debut EP — with steady beats from Buddy Mazzenga, guitar-driven rhythm from Joe McEnany and guest pianist, Zo’s younger brother Tyler DeTulleo — comes off like the soundtrack to an all-nighter at the heartbreak hotel. “Imagine someone you loved turned their back on you. Or the moment you thought someone you trusted was honest only to find out they lied,” says Zo. “Velvet Rouge is the color you exude when you’re betrayed by someone you trusted.” CARING LESSnate & sara & ryan & nick. indie rock is good for your soul!

Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMEdwin RaphaelHow do you anchor yourself when occupying multiple geographic identities at once? For Edwin Raphael, the Dubai-raised, Montreal-based songwriter, it requires an intentional and intensive form of world-building. By developing an unmistakable style of folk that merges Eastern scales with the Western pop canon, Raphael reimagines his music as a exploratory tool that allows him to construct an interior and sacred home to retreat into.https://edwinraphael.com/ Alycia Langhttps://www.alycialang.com/ Jason McCuePhilly alt-folk songwriterhttps://jasonmccue1.bandcamp.com/album/screen-turn-on

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: 8:00 PM Sorry MomNYC-based queer punk duo Sorry Mom was built on east coast grit and punk-fueled chaos. The duo, comprised of Juno Moreno and Taryn Gangi, were college buddies, and they credit their collegiate music scene for kick-starting their career after being admittedly ticked off that the bands on campus were heavily male-dominated.The band is noticeably unostentatious, and prefer to let their music do the talking. Beware the band will deliver you a heavy dose of sarcasm and the realest set of lyrics you’ve ever heard. Sorry Mom is carving out their own unique space in the scene, and infusing their no nonsense, I don’t give a fuck attitude into every song they make.https://wearesorrymom.bandcamp.com/track/but-im-a-quarterback Teenage HalloweenNJ Powerpunk.https://teenagehalloween.bandcamp.com/album/till-you-return FroggyFroggy is a queer punk band formed by Morgan, Fiona, and Brooke in the Philly suburbs circa 2020.

A prolific studio artist and even more active touring act, Jenn Taiga draws from real-life experiences– putting on full display her deep struggles as a trans woman in America, as well as her deep affinity for SM –to craft a unique live presence with a performance which is as extramusical as it is exciting. Performed entirely live and exclusively with analog synthesizers, Jenn Taiga’s entrancing performances are marked with a professional level of skill and an unexpected measure of fun.https://jenntaiga.bandcamp.com/
