Unwed Sailor ~ LAZERDISC
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Unwed SailorAfter two decades of critically acclaimed and fan-adored releases, Unwed Sailor has become a fixture within the indie rock/pop landscape. A familiar and unceasing tide. A steady hand through turbulent channels. In many ways, the band’s forthcoming release MuteThe Charm represents an exercise in addition by subtraction –creating a layered emotive experience through more organic means. At its core, it is a pop rock record with chiming guitars, melodic bass, and rock solid drums– more aligned with the accessible sides of artist influences ranging from The Sundays, Joy Division, and The Stone Roses to Led Zeppelin, Lungfish, and 90’s indie rock band, Seam, than the band’s previous and more ambient releases. “MuteThe Charmis a back to the basics, primal record,” says Johnathon Ford. “It’s instrumental music without all the dressings. Muting the Charm, digging in the dirt, swimming in the ocean, going back to the basics, feeling those primal feelings of nature, and reflecting those feelings in songs. ”Mute The Charm also functions as a notable checkpoint in Unwed Sailor’s continuous progress in blurring the lines between post and pop rock. “I want to transcend the barrier that being an instrumental band with no vocals can sometimes bring between the artist and the listener,” says Ford. “When I sit down to write a song, I’m not writing a post-rock song, I’m writing a pop song. I’m singing through my bass lines. The bass is my voice and the notes are my lyrics. I love how bands like Tycho and El Ten Eleven have created their own voices through instrumental music that appeals to all listeners, not just post rock or instrumental music fans. My goal is to reach and inspire all music fans, not just post rock fans. Mute the Charm is all-at-once a love letter to specific cities and scenes, a longing retrospective on relationships with people and the past, a nod to formative artists and trailblazers, and a hopeful look ahead towards a less tumultuous future. Stay tuned to spartan records.for updates on Unwed Sailor, and be sure to catch the band on their upcoming tour with The Chills this fall – featuring a new live show with visuals by renowned UK artist Gary Prendergast.http://www.instagram.com/unwedsailorhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7kkPAVpkDYfXCSDzaRk6IU?si=iXhJnq3uRwKISiEk-zEsQwLAZERDISC Lazerdisc is a Philadelphia-based band formed by singer-songwriter and guitarist, Kevin Schultes. After a decade of performances with The Wild Dogs and pirate-rock band, Captain Scurvy, Kevin continued writing original works and sought out bandmates for a new band, now known as Lazerdisc. Joined on the drums by longtime bandmate, Jon Applebaum, Jory Fox on bass, Chelsea Oliver on synth, and Meagan Schweiger on keys, Kevin’s songs have taken on new life. The resulting sound blends elements from the genres, rock, grunge, electropop, and alt-country to accompany lyrics about love and heartbreak set in the city of Philadelphia. Lazerdisc is excited to announce their debut performance at Kung Fu Necktie on June 2nd, where fans can expect to hear a mix of both original songs and covers that showcase the band’s diverse musical influences.https://open.spotify.com/artist/0aNKvJZAEzMqPypUYDa6ly?si=zat_uh29TsaqXFHdBEsaCw

WITH THE MOMENTUM OF THE TWO, BRAIN SETS TO START EXPANDING HIS REACH WITH MORE SHOWS IN THE USA AS WELL AS PLANS FOR THE UK & VARIOUS PLACES IN ACROSS EUROPE.Twitter @_brainorchestraIG @brainorchestra_https://www.brainorchestra.net/Jah-Monte OgbonAn Ohio native, Akron, Ohio to be exact, Lord Jah-Monte Ogbon started writing music at the age of 10 however it wasn’t until his teenage years that he started actually recording his music and taking it seriously. The move to Charlotte, North Carolina and later meeting a few key players in the underground music scene gave Jah-Monte the breakthrough he needed to cement him into the scene as a major player. Jah-Monte’ sound mirrors that of the late 90’s Common Sense or Slum Village with his own added flavor thrown in and that’s what’s truly given him an advantage over many of the artists that surround him. His strength lies in his ability to engage a crowd while leaving them with much food for thought and making them come back for much more.Twitter & IG @jahmonteogbonhttps://kingcallis.bandcamp.com/NOLANCali-born. Detroit-bred. Laid back yet ardent. These are all ways to describe NOLAN, the young MC / beatmaker with one of the highest ceilings in the game. Since 2019, NOLAN (formally / also known as Nolan The Ninja) has been on a tear. He released SPORTEE — a full length LP on hip-hop indie heavyweight, Mello Music Group — toured Europe, and regularly collaborated with some of rap’s most creative artists including Homeboy Sandman, Chuck Inglish of The Cool Kids, Quelle Chris & more. He most notably gained global attention after performing his track “Oranges” on the popular Berlin-based series, COLORSxSTUDIOS. In 2020, amidst the pandemic, NOLAN independently dropped TALK SOON, an innovative mixtape that received positive reviews from OkayPlayer, Passion of the Weiss, etc. With a sophomore effort titled P.S. set released in 2022 plus multiple tour dates, expect to hear more from SPORT CAST’s heading into 2023Twitter & IG @nolantheninjahttps://m.soundcloud.com/nolantheninja-1

Caring Less ~ DEAN ~ Goth Goth
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Caring LessCaring Less is a rock band from Philadelphia, PA. The band formed in early 2019 when Sara, Ryan and Nathan met on the Philly DIY forums online. Not long after meeting for the first time, the three started playing covers of Fleetwood Mac songs and adapting Sara’s previously acoustic music to be played by a full band. Sara pulled in Nicholas to drum, and the foursome was set. The band’s music combines the shimmering, heavy guitars of indie legends Soccer Mommy and Petal with lyric and vocal styles reminiscent of the soulful Joni Mitchell and Jeff Buckley. Caring Less has been playing shows at venues all over the Philadelphia area, including The Grape Room, Khyber Pass Pub, and West Philly’s famous Porchfest music festival. The core of Caring Less’s music is lead singer Sara Johnson’s expressive and evocative vocals. Nathan Garfield sings backup vocals and plays lead guitar, Ryan Acito holds down the bass lines and Nicholas Kreh keeps it all together with the drums. Caring Less spent the summer of 2021 recording and perfecting their first major release, an EP due in Summer 2022. This EP has six songs demonstrating the depth and breadth of their unique sound. Sara has spent the last four years recording and publishing music under her solo project Stone Cold Grace. Nathan is one half of The Goodin Brothers and has published music since 2015 under the name Special Something. Ryan and Nicholas bring their own past experience to the band, having played in numerous underground bands around Philly.https://linktr.ee/caringlessDEANhttps://linktr.ee/deandeandeanGoth Gothhttps://linktr.ee/gothgothphilly
