Born Without Bones: 10 Year Anniversary Of ‘Baby’

*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry* 7 PM – Doors8 PM – Show BORN WITHOUT BONES: 10 Year Anniversary Of ‘Baby’ There’s a song called “Sudden Relief” on Dancer, the new Born Without Bones album, that’s unlike anything Scott Ayotte has ever written before. That’s not because of the evolution of the Milford, MA outfit from solo project to fully-fledged band, either. Guitarist Jonathan Brucato and bassist Jim Creighton have been a part of the permanent line-up for a long time now, and Super American’s Sam Checkoway – who played on last year’s re-recorded retrospective EP, Pictures Of The Sun – was behind the kit for the whole record, the first time in the band’s history that that’s happened. This goes even deeper. It’s the first time that Ayotte has written a love song that’s not about love going or having gone wrong. Quite the opposite, in fact. “It’s written not from the perspective of having lost love but having gained love,” he explains. “Before, I didn’t write about any relationships until they were over, and it wasn’t usually in the most positive way. But this is a positive song I wrote for and about my girlfriend. Even though it says the nice things about her, I decided to keep in the not so nice things about me – because she’s also signing up for those. Luckily, she’s loving of both.”  THE VAUGHNS Equal Vision Records and NJ/NYC-based indie-rock band The Vaughns are excited to announce the Friday, September 29 release of Egg Everything, an album produced by Joe Reinhart of Hop Along that presents itself as the band’s take on the sampler and an homage to record label mixtape CDs handed out at festivals in the early 2010s — the sharing of a variety of sounds and genres that influenced the band in the form of one release, a one band sampler. Containing elements of both the dreamy indie-pop and the effortlessly cool surf-rock/power-pop hybrid they made their own on previous releases, Egg Everything builds off the legacy they’ve already asserted for themselves while simultaneously marking The Vaughns as one of the most exciting, interesting and original indie-pop bands around today. This is them in their purest, most complete form, with all the toppings. Pre-save/pre-order Egg Everything – out on Sept 29th, 2023 – here: https://thevaughns.lnk.to/eggeverything 

Marty O’Reilly (solo) ~ Turtle Ridge ~ Tyler Sensenig

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: 7:00PM Show: 7:30PMMARTY O’REILLYExplaining Marty O’Reilly’s music is like describing a dream. It feels familiar, but at the same time unchartered. His songs sound bluesy but not blues, folk but not folk, soulful but not soul. Marty’s voice is beautiful and unique, his lyrics stark yet lush over gritty electrified guitar, melding beautifully into genre-defying music within the vast definitions of Americana. One can hear an urgency and complexity in the songs, expressing something elemental and perhaps contradictory: love and anger, joy and pain, real and imagined. The live performance is at the core of Marty’s projects. On stage, whether accompanied by a band, or alone, he enters a trance and the music is born again as something new every night. It’s what his followers call “magic”. He goes from raw gospel blues to cinematic epics, from heavy driving grooves to delicately arranged folk songs. Marty leaves the stage out of breath and sweaty, his audience in awe. It’s hard to describe, impossible to categorize. Yet people who know the music will try to explain it to you, just as you might struggle to explain a dream in the morning. The details might slip away as you recount them, but the feeling remains. “I started playing music as medicine for myself to feel good and digest some melancholy,” Marty leaves off. “Over time, I realized if music makes me feel good, the people around me who become a part of it will feel good too. It connects us on the same wavelength. I hope to give the world something real and refreshing.http://www.martyoreilly.com Turtle Ridge Turtle Ridge is a folk band composed of Colin O’Gorman (vocals), Dave Shields (guitar/vocals), Doug Myers (banjo, vocals) and Nolan Gardner (upright bass, vocals).

Laurel Canyon ~ Basically Nancy ~ Suburban Speed ~ Hot Seat

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 Laurel CanyonPunk rock foursome Laurel Canyon – Nicholas Gillespie, Serg Cereja, Dylan Loccarini and Lachlan Driver – formed in 2019 when Nick and Serg met after sharing an interest in Arthur Rimbaud and The Stooges in their working-class hometown of Allentown, Pennsylvania. The two began to write poetry and rehearse together in Serg’s garage. By October 2020, Serg and Nick began composing original songs together as Laurel Canyon, the first of which, “ Two Times Emptiness ,” was released on May 1, 2021. Following the release of “Two Times Emptiness” b/w “Enemy Lines,” Nick and Serg traded in their characteristic jangle for fuzz pedals and established a relationship with veteran producer Bryce Goggin (Pavement, The Lemonheads) at Trout Recording in Brooklyn.https://laurelcanyonagit.bandcamp.com/album/laurel-canyonBasically NancyBasically Nancy is a three-piece band based in Savannah, GA. The trio got their start by playing local open mics and by sloppily playing punk covers around town in venues they couldn’t legally drink in. Now years later, Basically Nancy performs all over the US, and they command a room with original songs made up of heavy tones and aggressive lyrics combined with melodic sweetness. Basically Nancy’s music portrays the experience of being a young woman and the frustrations that come with it. Their self-titled debut album was constructed over the span of a few years with no original intent of being heard but rather as a collaborative therapeutic outlet.https://basicallynancy.com/Suburban SpeedElectro/Punk Duo combining drum and bass with unconventional instrumentation.https://suburbanspeed.bandcamp.com/album/live-in-budapestHot Seat Punchy guitar and bass riffs, fast as hell drums , and witty vocals make up this Philadelphia four piece punk band. Inspired by The The Distillers, The Muffs, Lunachicks and L7, Hot Seat wants everyone to SCREAM.https://open.spotify.com/artist/5nX70yaHq6I8YPseQedEMV?si=QMPLQEjxTmGN4nNEfJ1pHg

Alex Cameron & Roy Molloy

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 Alex Cameron & Roy MolloyThe shimmering star of Alex Cameron continues to shine bright from the gutters of show business four albums into his prolific career as an entertainer. And yet, people still have questions. Is he really 6 ft 4 inches tall? Why do none of his suits fit him properly? If he really is Australian, then why does he speak in a strange sort of European world news accent? And while the answers to these questions may or may not be of any interest to anybody – there they remain – shot into the sky like flares as red hot as the notes from his business partner and horn player Roy Molloy’s alto saxophone.https://alkcm.bandcamp.com/album/oxy-musicRentboyRentboy is the musical project of Bobby Brown. After three releases of increasingly lush, Americana-influenced dance pop, Rentboy’s next EP, “Get Worse” is a hard left turn. Mashing together the minimalist aggression of 2000s garage rock and the mangled production of hyperpop, the lead single “Aperol Spritz” sounds like a late night walk home from a particularly decadent party you can’t remember but wouldn’t want to forget.https://rentboyband.bandcamp.com/Born Losers DJsBorn Losers Records is an independent record label from Philadelphia.https://bornlosersrecords.com/
