Sam Capolongo (lead vocals/guitar) founded the band in 2020, releasing the first EP, “Hardly off the Ground” a year later. In 2021, current members Sean Gallagher (guitar) and Nate Gittelman (drums) joined, creating a more diverse sound for their latest project, “On to the Next One.” Immediately following its release, Brad Herring (bass) began performing with the band, adding more stage presence to their high energy live performances. With their late 90’s post-grunge arrangements built around Capolongo’s heartfelt lyrics and folk-pop inspired melodies, Chasing Straights showcases a unique sound capable of hooking fans of a wide variety of genres.

The band was officially formed back in 2019, when founding members Dustin Manucci, and Greg Lundmark auditioned Dillon Piersol on drums. The fit was instant and the band was solidified. The Dustin Manucci Trio stuck out the pandemic in 2020, and played their first show together in 2021. Once their songs were fully written, rehearsed, and tested live, they went into the studio and started recording. Their EP, “Buy The Rumour, Sell The News”, was released on all platforms in 2023.https://linktr.ee/thedustinmanuccitrio Brendan Lane & The Sugar Packets Brendan Lane has always been a musical person, growing up with a jazz musician father and surrounded by records as a child.

Fullscreen ~ O. Wake ~ Redbud ~ Powerhouse of the Cell
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 Fullscreen When in a spiral, directionlessness prevails. Circling stuck patterns. Gravity settling in with the weight of confusion. Tumbling out of the tumult can either bring harmony or headache. Philly-via-Richmond psych-rock trio Fullscreen emerges from the center of this chaos with Labyrinthitis, their debut full-length following a trail of singles and the whirlwind start to the decade. The group, faced with personal and creative shifts, entered a labyrinth of their own, built in RVA and Philly and mastered by Scoops Dardaris (Another Michael, Prince Daddy & the Hyena). Reorganization led to re-assessing Fullscreen in widescreen—deepening their dream-pop sets with backing tracks and sampling, invigorating their songwriting with a visceral sense of focus and scope. Born out of a battle with the eponymous inner ear infection, Labyrinthitis chronicles a years-long quest to regain one’s balance. This serves as the narrative throughline, but the mission statement of the musical tension as well: a delicate push-pull between psychedelia’s outer limits and the constructiveness of grounded maturity and vulnerability. Fullscreen, on this recording and elsewhere, is Harper McGrath (he/him), Eric Schueler (he/they), Jon Furson (he/him) and Kirby Vitek (he/him). O. Wake Brooklyn mainstay O. Wake is masterminded by visual artist and illustrative musician Ofer Shouval. Shouval’s probing songwriting combines elements of art pop and indie rock to explore the anxieties and absurdities of today’s world through witty vignettes and sweeping soundscapes. With intimacy wrought from vulnerability and a uniquely bashful confidence, O. Wake’s emerging sounds inspire play and movement while evoking a rainbow of feelings. Redbud Redbud is a band planting itself in the heart of the Austin music fan with whimsical, psychedelic tones and meditative, soul-exposing lyrics. They’ve recently supported international touring acts such as The Front Bottoms, Giant Rooks, Magic City Hippies, A Giant Dog, The Duncan Fellows. With a sound described by Austin’s favorite radio station KUTX as “a masterpiece of unearthly arrangements, airtight structures, and a caliber of songwriting we rarely hear from relative newcomers”, you are sure to be swept up in the tide of their innovative essence. Powerhouse of the Cell Powerhouse of the Cell began as a marketing experiment conducted by Keywrb Lab Group for the Monsanto Company in the early 1990s. The goal was to create the illusion of a grassroots environmental movement through false flag TV and radio hijackings with music and visual art. The actions of this group would then be demonized by the general public through opposing media campaigns. Musically, the creators at Keywrb Lab Group took influence from Darkwave, Post-Punk, and Pop music from the 1980s. Lyrically Powerhouse of the Cell would contain themes of environmental destruction, modern day political and social anxieties, science fiction, and underlying feelings of hope. Visually the project would rely heavily on video synthesis as well as pieces of found footage. While this project was ultimately defunded sometime in the early 2000s, there has recently been some documentation of the experiment resurfacing. Performances have been linked to former subjects of the experiment known as 2514 (vocals, guitar, synthesizer), 23519 (vocals, guitar, drum machine, synthesizer), and 1815141425 (vocals, bass, synthesizer).
DJ Assault ~ Phreakwency ~ JEWELSSEA (Cambridge Hall)
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 9:00 PM Show: 9:00 PM DJ AssaultDetroit’s own Booty Bass pioneer DJ Assault has had a large hand in bringing ghetto-tech, aka booty music, from the urban streets of Detroit to the suburban club circuit. The incorporation of electro beats with hardcore, sometimes pornographic lyrics, is what makes ghetto-house highly distinguishable from its other techno cousins. https://www.instagram.com/djassault1/ Phreakwency Born in St. Louis, and raised in South Florida, Phreakwency seeks to offer East Coast clubs an authentic blend of midwest and southern sonics. Determined to strike a chord in the city, he made his debut across FM airwaves on WKDU Philadelphia 91.7 FM as the host of Dog Daze Radio, highlighting Black music and DJs from across the city leading to a residency at North Philadelphia record store, label, and streaming facility, Great Circles, hosting the show, Constructive Interference. Under the banner of the Bass Down Low party, he’s one of three DJs bringing Black electronic music to the forefront of the Philadelphia scene. One thing remains at the core of Phreakwency’s sound: bass, bass, and more bass. Blending the sounds of percussive trax from Chicago, hazy lo-fi crunk samples from Memphis, and the 808 bass culture of Miami, he crafts a sonic experience rooted in the spirit of Sankofa; taking elements from the past that are good and bringing them into the present to make progress in the future. Playing everything from ghetto house to jungle, Phreakwency provides a dancefloor experience you won’t find anywhere else in Philadelphia.https://www.instagram.com/phreakwency/JEWELSSEAJEWELSSEA is a rising star in electronic music, known for her genre-blending and boundary-pushing performances.

Now with their debut LP on up-and-coming imprint à La Carte Records, the sound of Plight has evolved into a concoction of chunky power-pop anthems, wall-of-sound shoegaze, and morose slowcore ballads. Their first offering is the single, “No Outlet.” The track hearkens back to the classic 90’s sound honed by acts like Duster and Smashing Pumpkins mixed with the contemporary sensibilities of Title Fight and Nothing. With the single, Plight delivers a music video with footage of them that could have easily been ripped right from 120 Minutes.” Not of this Worldhttps://notofthisworld.bandcamp.com/album/regaliaThe Ricoshttps://linktr.ee/thericosusa

If you’ve ever had a dream where there is a tidal wave coming for you, and you woke just in the nick of time with a sense of relief, then you are aware of the sounds of Chainsaw’s sweet little melodies. If you’ve ever had the thought to paint everything in your bedroom all one color – I mean everything – then you can imagine a red radiator suddenly making sense with a red teddy bear; and if you can imagine this, then you can imagine how it would make sense to want to hear another of front man Rob Perry’s songs, even though he’s just finished playing one. A love for the vintage style psychedelic pop music inspires a lightness like hydrogen; dissipating from something you know to something you can’t get a grip on. Some people regret not having documented more moments in their lives with pictures or diaries. Well, when you put on a Chainsaw record, or see them play live, all of that regret goes away for just that short amount of time. As the Bible says, “Blessed is the Fruit of thy Loom”, and those words are meant to praise that second pair of undies you keep handy to put on after creaming your first pair at the sounds and sights of 1910 Chainsaw Company. https://the1910chainsawcompany.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/the1910chainsawcompany/https://www.facebook.com/1910chainsawcompany/
Stoop Kids ~ Fever Dolls ~ The Last Generation on Film
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 PMSTOOP KIDSBorn out of frontman Griffin Dean’s affinity for layering old doo-wop records and hip-hop beats, Stoop Kids grew into a genre-bending 5-piece band with elements of Trap, Funk, Metal, Surf, and RnB. Combining infectious vocals, groovy bass lines and bari sax, they have crafted a unique sound that is both familiar and fresh. After attending college together at Loyola University New Orleans, the band embarked on multiple national tours and amassed over 20 million streams. They later relocated to Nashville where they continue to tour and release music. Stoop Kids’ latest release, “If it Ain’t You” with Idin Cain marks the second of a string of singles set to be released over the course of the year culminating in their fifth full-length album.InstagramFever DollsFever Dolls is the shape-shifting, label-defying project of producer-songwriter Evan Allis. Founded in 2018 with singer Renn Mulloy, Fever Dolls was born out of a desire to forego the self-seriousness of indie rock in favor of big hooks, clever lyrics, and broad musical range. Reflecting the highs and lows of modern life, Fever Dolls’s sound draws on everything from country folk to heavy metal to present a catalog of material as diverse and varied as its audience. 2020’s The Phantasm at Lake Wallenpaupack EP, produced by Paul Kolderie (Hole, Radiohead), showcased Fever Dolls’ hit-making sensibilities while continuing to push listeners’ expectations of what a single musical act could be, with Vox’s Emily Van Der Werf remarking “Fever Dolls (and songwriter Evan Allis) seem to borrow from an entirely new set of artistic influences on each and every track, while still sounding like themselves.”www.feverdolls.comThe Last Generation on FilmThe Last Generation On Film is a Modern Rock Outfit from Philadelphia. Their music draws from a variety of influences including electro-pop, funk, chillwave and dance music with an Alternative Rock core and their sound has been compared to A Flock Of Seagulls, Duran Duran, and Glass Animals. Formed in 2014 by Jeff Familetti (vocals, keys, guitar) and Ryan Bayler (keys, guitar) as a synth pop duo, the band recently went through some dramatic changes with the addition of two new members, Joe Tockett (Drums) and Cameron Kynett (Bass). As a result, the group’s sound has blossomed, a shift that has garnered local attention and resulted in a feature as one of WXPN’s Local Picks, as well as a prime spot on the lineup for 2nd Street Festival. The group is currently in the process of recording their third EP, “Repercussions.” Their first two EPs, “Repetitions” and “Reflections,” were recorded at Headroom Studios by Mark Watter and are currently available for streaming online.https://thelastgenerationonfilm.bandcamp.com/track/one-less-voice-single
