GOZU ~ Witching ~ Waillin’ Storms ~ Planning for Burial
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:00 PM Show: 6:30 PMGOZUhttps://gozu.bandcamp.com/musicWitchingFormed in 2017 from the throes of Philadelphia, WITCHING have emerged as one the underground’s most exciting bands to watch out for. The band’s sound has evolved into genre-bending, nightmarish, blackened melodic death metal that embraces and embodies the fusion of pitch-black intensity through black metal, sludge, post-metal, and more. With a handful of independently released EP’s, singles, and a full length album under their belts, a new lineup featuring Jacqui Powell (vocals), Nate Zagrimanis (guitar), Tatiana Buonassisi (bass), Samantha Hyla (drums), and Hazel Whitman (guitar), WITCHING are calling out to unify the masses by bludgeoning their way into a world where everything is formulaically stacked against them. WITCHING is marking their own path and marching head-on into a hellish ouroboros of self-destruction and self-discovery to share triumph and perseverance.witching.bandcamp.comWailin’ Stormshttps://wailinstorms.bandcamp.com/Planning for BurialThe brainchild of American songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Thom Wasluck, Planning for Burial’s gloomy experimental metal borrows from shoegaze, goth, and alt-rock as well as doom, drone, and black metal. A one-man band (both in the studio and live), Wasluck began operating under the pseudonym in 2005, releasing the first in a string of downcast LPs and splits pairing the ominous black shoegaze of Jesu with the doomy and obsessive industrial metal of Fragile-era Nine Inch Nails. After playing in several bands while growing up in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, he conceived of Planning for Burial as a solo act in 2005. Wasluck released Planning for Burial’s debut album, Leaving, in 2009, and Enemies List Home Recordings reissued it a year later. The project built a following as Wasluck issued a steady stream of short releases, including two collaborations with Lonesummer on Music Ruins Lives and 2012’s Quietly on Tycho Magnetic Anomalies. After signing with The Flenser, Planning for Burial released its second full-length album, Desideratum (which included a credit for “whiskey” alongside more traditional instruments), in 2014. Wasluck returned two years later with the single “As a Lover,” and took inspiration from moving back into his childhood home for Planning for Burial’s third album, 2017’s Below the House. That same year, Wasluck issued Matawan: Collected Works 2010-2014, a compilation of out of print non-album tracks that he originally recorded in his former home of Matawan, New Jersey.https://open.spotify.com/artist/4nhaUpMjrBW8vywsP2yzzD

Crocodiles ~ MK & The Ultras ~ Civil Rats ~ DJ UFO
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM CrocodilesToday, Crocodiles (Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell) announce their highly anticipated forthcoming LP, Upside Down In Heaven (due April 7 via Lolipop Records). To introduce the record, they have shared its first single, “Degeneration,” alongside an accompanying music video, directed by Kate Clover and one half of the Crocodiles duo, Brandon Welchez. Said Welchez of their newest track and its inspirational basis: “The heaviness of life on a violent, dying planet can often push us towards our worst impulses. ‘Degeneration’ was written in the boiling, diseased summer of 2020 where I found myself overworked, underpaid and choking on wildfire smoke. The free time I had was spent doom-scrolling the latest covid death toll or inundating myself with news of literal fascists marching the streets. I found myself floating on a cloud of anger, fear and frustration. Rather than allow myself to fall into bad old habits or succumb to my negative emotions, I poured myself into my music. Talking about my degeneration beats actively seeking it out.” “Degeneration” was recorded at Quiksilver Studios, St. Jean de Luz, France in September 2021. It was written by Brandon Welchez and Charles Rowell, produced by Maxime Smadja, engineered by Mako, and mixed by Mark Rains. It features Atef Aouadhi on bass and Diego Dal Bon on drums. Stay tuned for Upside Down In Heaven, out April 7 via Lolipop Records.https://www.facebook.com/killcrocodiles/MK & The Ultras After nearly a decade on the road with Philadelphia’s Toy Soldiers, Matt Kelly formed MK & The Ultras out of his love of fuzzy 60s psych, surf, and punk rock. MK & The Ultras’ songs summon the frenetic exploding energy of The Stooges, The 13th Floor Elevators, and Ty Segall. Their snarled urgency is reminiscent of Black Flag and Jay Reatard, while a hint of 50s swagger evokes Kelly’s stint playing guitar for The Queen of Rockabilly, Wanda Jackson. The result is “high energy rock n roll that is enlightening, inspiring and highly psychedelic.”https://mkandtheultras.bandcamp.com/Civil Rats What do you get when you cross three rodents with a love of music, partying, and nonsense? CIVIL RATS—the latest garage pop sensation sweeping the Philadelphia underground.

Honey Butter ~ Roberta Faceplant
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMHONEY BUTTERKeeping with the tradition of Ken Kesey’s Acid Tests and Levon Helm’s Midnight Rambles, Honey Butter at its core is improvisational psychedelic music. No two performances are the same, no song is arranged like it’s studio recording. Featuring a rotating setlist of covers and medleys from Grateful Dead, The Band, Johnny Cash, The Rolling Stones, David Bowie, Elvis Costello, Joe Cocker, and many more, this road hardened group of Philadelphia musical veterans takes every party on a journey and every listener on a trip to the warm gooey center of rock and roll. InstagramROBERTA FACEPLANTStorming headfirst into a male-dominated musical format with rhinestones and fire-breathing rage, Roberta Faceplant is the emerging Alt-Country project of Philadelphia based singer-songwriter and You Do You front woman Katie Feeney. Her first single “Everything is Trash” received radio play and press coverage on KEXP 90.3 FM, Post To Wire, B-Sides & Badlands, Gimme Country, LonesomeHighway.com, Philly Live, the 25 O’Clock podcast, and more. Since her live stage debut in 2018, she has shared the stage with such artists as Maggie Koerner, Linda Gail Lewis, and Brule County Bad Boys. Roberta Faceplant’s songwriting style follows in the steps of classic country music greats like Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, and Dolly Parton, combined sonically with modern inspirations including Kacey Musgraves, Cary Ann Hearst, Shannon Shaw, and Pearl Charles, who all fuse Americana and Country with Rock, Pop, and other genres. Already dubbed a songwriting force with “sass, humor and hooks to burn,” Roberta Faceplant recently released three singles “Two Gunslingers” (Tom Petty Cover,) “Keep Talkin’” and “Sunbeams” in February 2023.https://www.robertafaceplant.com/

Born Without Bones ~ Innerlove ~ Bike Routes
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMBorn Without BonesThere’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.” https://lnk.to/BornWithoutBones_MusicInnerlovenew york organic rock and roll co.https://innerlove.bandcamp.com/Bike Routes//South Jersey Acoustic// //Bike Routes is David Lawrence Osterhout//https://bikeroutesnj.bandcamp.com/
