Chris Cohen ~ 22 Degree Halo
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 PMChris CohenChris Cohen was always a quiet kid. In fact, this introversion was one reason he began playing music as a toddler—to communicate without speaking, to identify with others without the direct representation of words. It has worked, too, with Cohen’s terrific stint in the mighty Deerhoof and his own captivating art-rock act The Curtains preceding production and session work for the likes of Weyes Blood, Kurt Vile, Le Ren, and Marina Allen. Somewhere along that long way, Cohen started writing lyrics. He found that, though it didn’t come naturally, the process offered a new sense of self-discovery and reckoning, a way to see himself and the world from unexpected angles. His three twilit albums of casually complicated pop during the last decade radiated these epiphanies: handling family strife, navigating advancing age, and understanding social woes. But Cohen has never had as much to sing so directly as he does on Paint a Room, his first album in five years and his debut for Hardly Art. If Cohen’s meanings have previously lurked inside the tessellated musical layers he built alone, they are newly clear and resonant here, animated and underscored for the first time by a band playing in real time. There is the endless miasma of state violence on the subversively melodious opener “Damage,” the existential exhaustion of modernity on the horn-traced jangle “Laughing”: this is Cohen communicating with friends not only through his deep understanding of groove, harmony, and hook but also with his listeners through songs that croon of our uneasy little era. In the past, Cohen made records in spells of isolation, phases when, as he puts it, he would “try to make my world a lot smaller.” He would play any of a dozen or so instruments until he stumbled upon something interesting, then slowly build upward and outward upon the idea. The method was solitary and stepwise, an act of accretion and deletion. Cohen, though, has been playing live with bassist Davin Givhan, drummer Josh da Costa, and keyboardist Jay Israelson in some fashion for the better part of a decade. This time around, then, he built demos in the dusty garage of the suburban Altadena rental that smelled like old wood and gasoline and tried something new—he took the songs on tour with that crew, yielding total control by letting them fill in or flourish their own parts as they saw fit. They came back home and began recording as a band. Cohen even called in a few friends to help, with Jeff Parker contributing the fluttering horn arrangement on “Damage,” and Parker collaborator Josh Johnson (who produced Meshell Ndegeocello’s Grammy-Award-winning album The Omnichord Real Book) supplying flute, sax, and clarinet arrangements throughout the record. It felt a little bit like producing someone else’s records, with Cohen given the chance to step back and evaluate others’ contributions to his own songs rather than scrutinize every little bit he made himself. This was a longtime ambition realized, another way of relating to others openly through sound.22 Degree Halo22 Degree Halo is a band from Philadelphiahttps://www.instagram.com/22__degree__halo/

The Well ~ Year of the Cobra ~ Seismic
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 PMThe WellThe Well walk an intriguing line between authentic early 70s doom/heavy psych, the frayed weirdness of dark folk/goth – especially with their haunting unison male/female vocals – with a stark vibe of post-punk acts like Joy Division and early The Cure. The band’s intense — “possessed” — live performances have earned them featured slots at international festivals including Levitation, Desertfest, Psycho California, Sonicblast Moledo, Blowup Helskini and a slot on the legendary RockPalast. Their extensive touring history has taken them through North America, Europe, Scandinavia and Nepal with the likes of 1000mods, Kadavar, All Them Witches, Black Tusk, etc.Year of the CobraFormed in 2015, YEAR OF THE COBRA became a fast-rising star in the stoner doom cosmos for good reason. The powerhouse duo, consisting of Amy Tung Barrysmith (vocals/bass) and Jon Barrysmith (drums), create a vast, larger than life sound aesthetic. Their songs drift from classic doom laments to skyscraping riff architecture, blending anthemic rock moments seamlessly with transfiguring psychedelia.https://yearofthecobra.bandcamp.com/SeismicSeismic is an instrumental doom quartet from Philadelphia, formed in 2018. Pulling from influences across the spectrum of heavy music, Seismic forge lumbering riffs, thunderous bass and cavernous drums into monolithic landscapes of sludge and doom. Seismic released their debut self-titled EP in 2020, and are nearing the completion of their first full length, due later this year.https://seismicdoom.bandcamp.com/album/the-time-machine

The Dangerous Summer ~ Bad Luck. ~ Rosecoloredworld ~ Here/Now
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: 6:00 PM Show: 7:00 PMThe Dangerous SummerThe Dangerous Summer signed their first record deal as high school seniors and quickly established themselves among the alt-rock world’s elite. The band writes hooks that ferve as soundtracks for important life moments for a diverse group of listeners spread across the globe. The audience is more family than a fanbase. “Reach for the Sun” is the record that “shot them into the pop-punk pantheon” (Kerrang!). Powered by unshakeable, enduring alt-rock anthems, the Ellicott City, Maryland band’s debut album made them heroes of the Warped Tour world, all while they carved their own unique path. 2011’s “War Paint” was a sophomore-slump-smashing follow-up. Alternative Press saluted The Dangerous Summer as a group that stayed true to their sound, praising the songs on their 2018 self-titled comeback album as equal parts charismatic and addictive. 2019’s “Mother Nature” conjured an emotional storm, with an uplifting bent. Underoath’s Aaron Gillespie appeared on the 2020 EP, All That Is Left Of The Blue Sky. Produced by Will Beasley (Turnstile, Asking Alexandria), 2022’s “Coming Home” ushers in a new era for TDS. The Dangerous Summer never sacrificed their unique, diverse sonic identity, one that appeals to fans of everything from Kings Of Leon and Coldplay to Jimmy Eat World and Bright Eyes. “Coming Home” is a triumphant summary of what The Dangerous Summer is all about, past, present, and future.Bad Luck.https://badluckdudesny.bandcamp.com/Rosecoloredworldhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/463Zbm3YPy7aKLqX1LBycF Here/Now Feel. Thats the mantra for Philadelphia based post-hardcore band Here/Now. Deep rooted in the belief that music should provoke you this four piece thrives in the discourse between speaker and the listener. Coming off the heels of their 2020 full length “Dilate” and their latest single “Stayed Dead”, Here/Now is posited for a big 2024 working on new material with producer Adam Chichocki. Here/Now has shared the stage with acts such as Hundredth, As Cities Burn, Emarosa, and Limbs. http://sptfy.com/ykz
The Minks ~ Andorra ~ Ketch Up
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 PMThe MinksThe Minks are Nashville’s “psychedelic-blues” band, heavy on the rock and roll. We’re talking low-down, all the way, purse-lipped, eyes-shut, head-whirling kind of groove. In 2015, on a search for creative community, Nikki Barber started the band based on the idea that “if you don’t create, you’ll combust”. Just like a rock and roll circus, you never know what you’re going to get, but you know it’ll be good. The band’s palpable sound has roots in every music fan’s top ten—from Lou to Patti to Creedence to Hank – but blends them into something totally original and current. Mixed with raw, jangly instrumentation and soulful saccharine vocals, it’s as much a throwback as it is an answer to the often overlooked underbelly of Nashville’s rock and roll scene. Look for them, on tour forever, spreading the gospel of letting your hair down and having a good time.https://theminksss.bandcamp.com/Andorra“Soaked in Bud Light and regret,” Andorra is Kevin McCall, Jordan Petrellis, Michael Trycieckyj, and Dante DiLoreto. The band formed in 2010 in Philadelphia, PA and named themselves after the respective city suburb (not the country.) The group self-produced and released their third studio album, “Family Tree.” Philly Live writes “the album exists within a boundary-less space of heavy rock and basement blues. All songs on the full album are explorative, yet relate to each other in different ways, fully emphasizing that familial theme.”https://andorramusic.bandcamp.com/album/boogie-night-blues-2Ketch UpRock n roll garage pop from Philadelphia.https://ketchupphl.bandcamp.com/track/destruction-of-love-demo

Cognitive (Album Release Show) ~ Necrotic Gorebeast ~ Bonginator ~ Compulsed (Cambridge Hall)
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 PMCognitivehttps://cognitivenewjersey.bandcamp.com/Necrotic GorebeastNecrotic Gore Beast’s self titled debut album erupted from the cankerous crust of the brutal death metal scene in 2019 and immediately established the band as one of the very heaviest around. Combining fearsome technical ability with intimidating brute force they pushed the limits further with second album, Human Deviance Galore and now they have bulldozed through the boundaries of sonic extremity once again. Repugnant is a relentless attack of world shattering violence, its bludgeoning blows entwined in cruel complexity and warped imagination. Each strike is deadly, from the panic inducing opening of the title track to the final, fatal blow of ‘Frozen Feces Evisceration’. Along the corpse strewn way you’ll find throat shredding guest vocal appearances from Cryptopsy’s Matt McGachy and Bludgeoned’s Jonathan Huber and some of the most incredible brutal death metal you will ever hear. NecroticGoreBeast have the strength to take on anyone in their field and leave them bleeding. In the badlands of brutality there is no match for the ‘GoreBeast.https://linktr.ee/NecroticgorebeastBonginatorhttps://linktr.ee/bonginator?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0iuJH63M9M2EqVEqMfpvI4yN-5lzJiGnsvK9cztPsq8i2_2WQvGhMp1dk_aem_ATK30AofLA_1a9Vm7UiZ1PYunaPs8q8_vMSmHBT6OJFj-bm–JgDWp9n9DrSVQ2VsmnbMUs3ZpIYwdRqMOQL7yHACompulsedCompulsed is a brutal death metal band from South Jersey that formed in 2024.

Texas King ~ Last Word ~ Ty Mathis
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 PMTexas King“When you hear us, I want you to know it’s gonna be a crazy night,” Texas King frontman Jordan Macdonald grins. “We’re the good times boys. Leave your troubles at the door, because you’re not gonna be able to hold them with those two beers in each hand.” The soundtrack to your favorite memories, Texas King have put 250,000 miles into their van over the past decade – touring all over North America alongside acts like Big Wreck, Last Dinosaurs, and The Glorious Sons – and there’s thousands more miles to go. Best known for their high energy live show, the rock n’ roll band from London, Ontario were influenced early on by Kings of Leon and The Black Keys. Since 2013, they’ve been cutting their teeth on the road and in the studio, so far releasing one album and two EPs that capture the show- stopping passion they’ve brought to stages that include Vancouver’s Ambleside Festival, Ontario’s ParkJam and Hillside Festivals, and Québec’s Festival D’ete! Texas King’s third EP is their biggest and boldest record yet, capturing a world of warmth and wonder in five heartfelt, honest alt-rock outpourings. It’s a story of reckoning and redemption, nostalgia and hope that sees Texas King’s Jordan Macdonald, Melvin Murray, and Phil Spina following up from where 2021’s Changes EP left off: “I did make some changes, and I thought it was smooth sailing,” Macdonald says. ““But that’s the thing about change – one moment you’re fine, the next you’re not: The waters got rough, and the boat has capsized.”” In-your-face singalongs and heavy-hearted power ballads reflect the heat, the urgency, and the desperation of the moment – yet through thick and thin, Texas King shine with the strength and resilience of a band that will play anywhere, at any time, and for anyone who wants to listen. Give Texas King’s music a spin, or even better, catch them at a show.
