Writhing Squares ~ Glyders ~ The Kensington Stranglers

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 Writhing SquaresWrithing Squares – the Philadelphia duo of Kevin Nickles (sax, flute, synth) & Daniel Provenzano (bass, vocals) – have been refining the nuts & bolts of their sound over their previous two albums. Their latest (and second for Trouble In Mind), “Chart For The Solution” is a double album chock full what makes them tick; heady, progressive, psychedelic space-rock-cum-minimal synth slop, punctuated by MacKay/Chance-style blasts of brass & woodwinds that definitely scratch an itch. https://thewrithingsquares.bandcamp.com/ GlydersFormed in Chicago in 2014 by partners Josh Condon and Eliza Weber, Glyders make maximal minimal rock and roll with nocturnal mystery pulsing in the mix, cutting above rigorous roadhouse fare with sounds that twist and grind on their classic inspirations. Joined by Joe Seger on drums, Glyders’ high lonesome way is mellow but nervy, hip-shaking and deep – a multicolored trip to the ongoing beat of American weirdness. Their debut LP “Maria’s Hunt” is out now on Country Thyme/Drag City. Bandcamp SpotifyThe Kensington StranglersThree witches brewing rock n’ roll in Kensington, USA. @thekensingtonstranglers

Frankie and the Witch Fingers ~ Iguana Death Cult ~ Kelsey Cork and the Swigs

AGE RESTRICTION: All Ages Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMFrankie and the Witch FingersOver the course of five years and five LP’s, L.A. veterans, Frankie and the Witch Fingers, have been mutating and perfecting their high-powered rock n’ roll sound. After touring the USA and Europe, this four-headed beast has shown no signs of relenting—appearing like summoned daemons and dosing crowds with cerebral party fuel. The main attraction of Frankie and the Witch Fingers is their explosive performance. With their rowdy and visceral approach to live shows, each member brings their own devilry to induce an experience of bacchanal proportions. Using absurd lyrical imagery—soaked in hallucination, paranoia, and lust—the band strikes into dark yet playful territory. This sense of radical duality is astir at every turn and time signature change. Airy vocal harmonies over serrated riffs. Low-key shamanic roots under vivid high strangeness. Rambling stretches and punctuated licks. Cutting heads and kissing lips. All this reveals a stereophonic schizophrenia that has flowed throughout their body of work: an ebb & flow of flowery-poppy horror. The band’s latest incarnation is primed to break new sonic ground, edging into the funky and preternatural. Just when you think the trip couldn’t get any weirder, Frankie and the Witch Fingers cranks up the dial, shatters the mundane, and summons new visions. Iguana Death CultAfter the pandemic hit, and the people of the world suddenly grew wary and suspicious of one another, Iguana Death Cult, one of Europe’s most exciting rock exports, became more than just a band—it became therapy. “I think for the first ten times we went to jam,” says guitarist/vocalist Tobias Opschoor, speaking about the process of making the new album Echo Palace, “we just drank wine and talked about it, and just kept on talking for hours, and then were like, ‘OK, I have to go because I have to work tomorrow.’” Taking place at frontman Jeroen Reek’s apartment in the Dutch city of Rotterdam, these gatherings slowly shifted from talking about this surreal chapter of their lives: the days of quiet streets and cramped buildings—to making music about it. “I was living in a really crappy, leaky, ready-for-demolition apartment,” explains Reek, “with just one heat source—like a really old-school, gas stove kind of thing.” Working on cold nights, they had to gather around that heater together—a cozy approach that ultimately quickly got their creative flow going.Kelsey Cork and the SwigsSelf-described as Rock n Roll Kool-Aid, Kelsey Cork and the Swigs mix your favorite music with your best friend’s favorite music to make a tasty punk-blues-psychedelic-garage rock cocktail. Out of Philadelphia, Kelsey Cork and her band have garnered an irrefutable reputation for an energetic live show that you can’t help but dance to. They discard pretension and cynicism to rejoice in what it means to be surviving as a poor and rowdy Spice Girl generation person, seeing Philly as inspiration for both music and attitude. The Swigs let the litter and grime seep into their chords, lyrics, and stage presence, crafting catchy hooks about having a good time living below the poverty line that make you wonder why you ever cared about the facade of high-class elitism. The Swigs do something deliberate with their music; united by a raw anti-perfectionism approach, they shout to the world SHOW ME YOUR TRASH, and you’ll want to answer their call by drinking a citywide, throwing a house party, and dismantling the oligarchy.https://linktr.ee/kelseycorkandtheswigs

Mating Ritual ~ Loviet ~ The Jesters

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 You’re invited to spend “An Evening With Mating Ritual”, featuring the brothers first full band show in 2 years, plus solo sets from both Ryan Ritual and Suede James. With special guest Lovie Ryan RitualAfter writing, recording, and producing 5 albums in 5 years with his band Mating Ritual, Los Angeles based Ryan Ritual needed a break from his band and life as he knew it. Exhausted and sick of the desert heat, Ryan relocated to London in 2022 and began work on his first solo album, this time enlisting the help of producer Chris Zane (Passion Pit, The Walkmen) at Strongroom Studios. The result is “The Weight Of Love”, an album that explores the emotional fallout of living entirely alone for the length of the pandemic. Sonically, Ryan pulled from his early 80’s music fandom and Strongroom’s impressive history as a palette for his distinct, hook driven songwriting.https://open.spotify.com/album/7yYF23Wts2nEKdUSoEIMq8?si=WAeYw-KqSYWkXCPU0RI_cASuede JamesSuede James is the alias of producer/songwriter Taylor Lawhon, also known as half of the indie pop duo Mating Ritual. Drawing from his teenage love of 2000-2010’s French electro and house artists; Suede James creates heavy dance grooves beneath sweeping synth melodies and rhythmic chord structures.https://open.spotify.com/track/3e9w3rrw6hfnvQ8CqOpt3E?si=7ddb9b9a9e70442eLovietA powerhouse of 90’s-tinged alternative/indie-pop, Loviet has established herself as one of Toronto, Canada’s brightest up-and-coming artists to watch in the 2020s. Praised for her “signature, shimmery hooks with emotionally honest lyrics” (Notion) and “addictive, retro pop-rock…a polished, highly danceable project” (CBC) Loviet (née Natalie Lynn) has made a name for herself supporting critically acclaimed artists such as Milky Chance, Morcheeba, and Mild Orange, and performing at festivals like The Great Escape, Supercrawl, SRXP, and RiverFest Elora.The JestersThe Jesters are a Philadelphia-based alternative rock band that grew out of the songwriting duo of Harry Buscher and Justin Libucki. The addition of multi-instrumentalist songwriter Dan Gandolfo and drummer Ron Breining has rounded out The Jesters’ current lineup.https://open.spotify.com/artist/5swdJwqdykevdwO0mbkyDI?si=dq1KdZO2StKUXMR00VdxuQ
