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 BE’LAKOR Australian melodic death metal pioneers Be’lakor are set to embark on their first-ever North American tour in 2025. Fans in the United States and Canada will finally get the chance to experience the band’s unique blend of heavy riffs, narrative song structures and melodic intricacy as the band brings their intense live performance to cities across the continent. The Be’lakor North America Tour 2025 kicks off on August 30 and will include 16 shows – including an appearance at Atlanta’s famous ProgPower USA festival. Be’lakor has built a reputation as one of the most influential and respected bands in the genre, thanks to five critically acclaimed albums, including Stone’s Reach (2009) and Of Breath and Bone (2012). With the band having toured Europe multiple times, North American fans have been made to wait for the chance to see Be’lakor live in their own backyards – until now. Solemn Vision Born and bred in Brooklyn, NYC, Solemn Vision is renowned in the mid-Atlantic metal circuit for their eclectic take on the genre. The band brings in a range of influences, most heavily building on the sounds of acts like Opeth and In Mourning. Solemn Vision’s live performances are high energy and interactive. Their focus has always been on showmanship and stage presence complimenting raw musicianship. This lethal formula has packed out venues and wowed audiences all around the region. The band is currently composed of Aaron Harris on vocals, guitarists Mauricio Cornejo and Kadin Wisniewski, Anthony Rafferty on bass, and Carlos Crowcell on drums. Solemn Vision’s music showcases a variety of sonic flavors ranging from frigid Scandinavia, to the deserts of the Middle East; from classic metal mastery to modern innovations. This range in their sound is in part a product of New York City itself, which has always been a melting pot of cultures, styles, and sounds. This approach has fostered a widespread fan base not just in the Tri-State metal scene, but with online followers all over the globe. The band’s self-titled debut was released in Spring 2019, to critical acclaim – and the band is already wrapping up their sophomore offering. Solemn Vision’s focus is on ensuring that the raw, melodic death metal sound of the band will never be compromised and instead only grow and evolve. As Solemn Vision gear up to tour and take on the world they hope to build on past accomplishments, including performances with everyone from Carach Angren to Kataklysm by way of incoming titans like Blood Incantation. This is melodic death metal envisioned in a new light, and it’s utterly, wonderfully twisted.

Pan Arcadia ~ Cab Ellis
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 Pan Arcadia Pan Arcadia has been making waves in the NYC music scene. With their high-energy performances and anthemic sound, the band has quickly gained a reputation for electrifying live shows and raw, unapologetic music. Their blend of dueling guitars, soulful crooning vocals, and powerful rhythms captures the essence of rock while pushing boundaries with modern sensibilities. Through sold out gigs at Bowery Ballroom and spotlights in Spin Magazine, the 5-piece has proven themselves a musical force not to be missed. The band’s next LP, produced by Hugo White (Jessie Ware, The Maccabees, Jamie T, Matt Maltese) and Pete Harper (Sara Bareilles, Madison Cunningham, Theo Katzman) is due this fall. SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1eIFYyCbgvc6LT4ViIveax Cab Ellis If I told you New York’s alt rock scene is back, you might ask who’s responsible. Best known for their uninhibited, intoxicating live performances, Cab Ellis is the underground revival’s best-kept-secret. With a penchant for stage diving, spitting beer into mosh pits and splitting guitar strings center stage, the band stirs a certain chaos and confusion in young fans while conjuring a deep nostalgia for a bygone era in older listeners. At the age of sixteen, frontman Connor Abeles began rapping over YouTube beats at his family’s desktop computer in Hagerstown, Maryland. In 2018, Abeles moved to Los Angeles, where he met a group of USC jazz students and formed what would become the first full band iteration of Cab Ellis. While in LA, Cab Ellis released Nighttime OCD, their self-produced debut album, and The East Coast Hold On, with the help of legendary producer Gordon Raphael (The Strokes, Regina Spektor). In 2021, Abeles moved across the country to New York. Since then, Cab Ellis has completed two national tours and has sold-out iconic venues like Bowery Ballroom and Baby’s All Right. In an age where everything is polished and perfect, Cab Ellis’ live show and sound are a complete rebellion. Backed by an army of 6 jazz musicians bucking against the confines of their traditional training, Abeles’ heartfelt, explosive energy is capable of uniting a room full of strangers into one anarchic being. Cab Ellis is set to release their third studio album in April 2025. SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/7hDfnuDsxOlgBPBEoa34Rh

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Andrei Radu Andrei Radu, a revered and in-demand guitarist and composer from the Philadelphia area is releasing his debut solo album “Resolution” with a show on April 9th at Silk City Diner. A powerful blend of jazz harmony, funky rhythmic concepts, and inner reflections; “Resolution” is a triumphant celebration of growth, spirit, and determination. Andrei’s music is a true fusion of his many influences with his early roots in rock and roll, later augmented by his love and study of jazz, funk, and R&B. Joining Andrei is his trusty and mind-bendingly talented studio band featuring Christian Klinefelter (bass), Elliot Garland (keyboards), and Michael Mester (drums). An evening of acrobatic, daring, grooving, and expansive music awaits you on April 9th for a show that all music lovers will not want to miss. B.P.M. B.P.M is a group of local Philadelphia musicians consisting of Eli Pace on bass, Tate Berkey on drums, and Jake Miller on guitar. Even though they met through the jazz studies program at Temple University, each member of B.P.M has a rich history of playing styles outside of the jazz idiom. Through their shared interests in blues, rock, metal, and funk, Tate, Jake, and Eli decided to form a trio that honored the styles of music they grew up playing while also maintaining the aspects of jazz that brought them all together. B.P.M seeks to recreate the innovations of genre-defying musicians such as Wayne Krantz, Adam Rogers, and Oz Noy while providing their spin on the music, influenced by each member’s unique sound, and musical upbringing.
