A self-titled compilation that paired their first record and EP was released by UK Damnably Records in 2017, marking the band’s first release outside of Korea, which served as an introduction to International audiences. Following well-anticipated showcases at SXSW & The Great Escape in 2018, the band released their sophomore album Where We Were Together and a RSD covers EP It’s Just a Short Walk!, winning praise from the likes of Pitchfork, NPR, Billboard, i-D, The Independent, Stereogum, Paste, MTV, Uproxx, Fader, Drowned in Sound, DIY, The 405 & more.

In 2021, they wrote opening theme songs ‘So Tender’ for JTBC and Netflix’ Korean drama Nevertheless, and ‘My Heart’ for TvN’s hit Korean drama Yumi’s Cells, broadcast rights for which has been sold in more than 160 countries around the world.

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 Familiar ThingsEasy listening pop punk/pop rock from Philadelphia, PA. Consisting of Jon Puleio (bass/vocals), Kevin Murray (guitar/vocals), Tyler Magazzu (guitar/vocals) and Ammiel Hundley (drums), Familiar Things aims to push the boundaries of the pop punk and alternative music genre. With the use of an array of musical instrumentation, multi-part harmonies, and catchy melodies, their songs have always been written for the purpose of feeling an emotion and to be able to sing and jam along. Forming in 2017, Familiar Things have always shared the common love of pop punk and pop rock, though their musical influences have gathered from many branches of music, from country to indie pop to metal. In the years since they have formed, they have shared the stage with the likes of I See Stars, The Color Fred, The Happy Fits, Boys of Fall, Bronnie, and many more talented artists. The band continues to write and record at a nearly constant rate and with each new release, look to challenge the norms of the pop punk and emo scene. https://linktr.ee/familiarthingsmusic AfloatAfloat is an alternative and emo band based out of Cherry Hill, NJ. With influences from bands such as Movements, Arm’s Length, and Tigers Jaw, our songs pull on our listener’s emotions. Hitting the scene with their new ep release “Where I Stand” via Sinking Ship Records, is a reflection of the band’s self growth and personal experiences. Along with new music, we are very active in the local South Jersey and Philadelphia music community. Continuing to curate our sound, we are focusing on building our fanbase and making new connections in the scene. https://linktr.ee/afloatband MCGH Maybe it’s the first place you learned that strings of swear words could be spewed in the same sentence with no consequence? Maybe it’s where you witnessed beer and lukewarm ramen dinners after school while you waited for mom to pick you up on the way home from work? But now, My Cousin’s Girlfriend’s House takes on a whole new meaning. Coming at you with the tastiest of jams (sans the peanut butter), this dynamic DelCo/LeCo hybrid becomes Philly’s phreshest thing since that lil special to good ole BDN on 4th & Goal in the bowlhttps://www.mycousinsgirlfriendshouse.com/
Thumpasaurus & Guerilla Toss
Thumpasaurus + Guerilla Toss at Underground ArtsFriday, December 1st, 2023Doors: 7:00 PM | Show: 7:30 PM21+ ThumpasaurusWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube | Spotify In the beginning there was Thump… The primordial groove of the Universe. Thump thumped its way through all things. In the beginning groove was harmony, and harmony was groove, and it was good. Long before the age of humans, the Thumpasaurus roamed the Earth, serving the cosmos as the teachers of the Thump. The thump traversed all beings, and the Thumpasarus helped distribute its secret wisdom to all sentient and non-sentient creatures. It was good. As time passed and the Earth fluctuated between periods of great peace and great unrest, the Thumpasaurus became a threat to growing forces of evil- who fueled by a primary motivation in consumerism sought to eliminate the Thumpasaurus. To save the species and protect the goodness of the Universe, The Thumpasaurus fled the earth to the outer reaches of space time – though the Thumpasaurus swore to return to the Earth as harbingers of the age of reawakening. In their last gift to the consciousness of the cosmic manifestation of the Earth and its beings, the Thumpasaurus wrote down the secrets of the Thump in a manuscript of real troof and buried it in a sacredly SECRET location (the Appalachian mountains) in hopes that the Thump would survive and benefit future generations with happiness, love, and thump. As buildings turned to sand, and memories to dust, so too did the ancient memory of the Thumpasaurus and with them disappeared the philosophy of Thump. Guerilla TossWebsite | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | SpotifyDig deep enough inside yourself—start treating your body as your sanctuary rather than your enemy—and eventually you’ll find yourself blooming right back out into the sun. That’s the transformation Guerilla Toss trace on their newest album “Famously Alive,” their effervescent Sub Pop debut. After a decade sprinkling glitter into grit, building a reputation as one of the most ferociously creative art-rock groups working, the upstate New York band have eased fully into their light. This is Guerilla Toss at their most luminescent—awake, alive, and extending an open invitation to anyone who wants to soak it all up beside them. Singer and lyricist Kassie Carlson, multi-instrumentalist Peter Negroponte and guitarist Arian Shafiee wrote “Famously Alive” at home in the Catskills during the pervading quiet of the pandemic year.

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 PMMadame Gandhi“Going deep, bravely into the pain” is how activist-artist Madame Gandhi describes Vibrations, her third studio album — and could easily double as a subtitle for it. For several years prior to the pandemic, the overachieving artist and public speaker had spent her life traveling on and off. (Here’s a sampling: Touring Oprah and MIA alike; leading a Ted Talk; writing a song for Hillary Clinton’s streaming series, Gutsy.) “While that time was beautiful, it distracted me from deeper emotional work that I didn’t know I had to do. Sometimes when we’re in that pain,” Gandhi says, “we forget that getting past it is possible. After all, pain are the pulsations that remind us we’re alive. https://www.madamegandhi.com/Perfect Cycleshttps://perfectcycles.bandcamp.com/Slighthousehttps://instagram.com/slighthouseband?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
