Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM You’re invited to spend “An Evening With Mating Ritual”, featuring the brothers first full band show in 2 years, plus solo sets from both Ryan Ritual and Suede James. With special guest Lovie Ryan RitualAfter writing, recording, and producing 5 albums in 5 years with his band Mating Ritual, Los Angeles based Ryan Ritual needed a break from his band and life as he knew it. Exhausted and sick of the desert heat, Ryan relocated to London in 2022 and began work on his first solo album, this time enlisting the help of producer Chris Zane (Passion Pit, The Walkmen) at Strongroom Studios. The result is “The Weight Of Love”, an album that explores the emotional fallout of living entirely alone for the length of the pandemic. Sonically, Ryan pulled from his early 80’s music fandom and Strongroom’s impressive history as a palette for his distinct, hook driven songwriting.https://open.spotify.com/album/7yYF23Wts2nEKdUSoEIMq8?si=WAeYw-KqSYWkXCPU0RI_cASuede JamesSuede James is the alias of producer/songwriter Taylor Lawhon, also known as half of the indie pop duo Mating Ritual.

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Public Memory Public Memory creates music from the corners of the psychic landscape. Gritty atmospherics and damaged synthesizers invoke trip hop, dub, krautrock, and blend with a mixture of electronic and organic percussion, shadowy production + emotive singing. A solo recording project in the studio — the live band performs as a duo and their all-hardware-based sound is lush, rhythmic, supernatural, warbly and romantic. A sense of urgency and unpredictability is present with a touch of improvisation, tied together by producer Robert Toher’s spectral tenor. No laptops are used in the live show. For fans of 1990s Bristol trip hop, coldwave, and Thom Yorke’s The Eraser. New album ‘Elegiac Beat’ is out 9/1/23 on Feltenotofthisworld notofthisworld surfaced onto the Philadelphia scene in the fall of 2022. They gigged locally pretty heavily and released their debut EP “Regalia” on Suburban Creep Records soon after. Since then, notofthisworld has focused on refining their live presence. They aim to suck the crowd into electronic rhythms layered with live synths, guitars and bass. Their feedback-laden blend of synthwave and industrial punk is typically showcased through a non-stop, flowing live set full of energy. After a Southwest tour, opening for acts including The Chameleons, and a slew of more local shows, notofthisworld spent most of the summer recording their first LP. Their debut full length is set to be released on Suburban Creep Records in the near future. “Philly-based duo bringing blown-out, noise-tinged and cold-waving brand of minimalist post-punk.” -Screaming For Years https://instagram.com/notofthisworldphl?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA==https://suburbancreeprecords.bandcamp.com/album/sc-012-not-of-this-world-regalia-ep

This eclectic group of musicians teeter on the boundary of what many in the Philadelphia area describe as technical metal, but without the need for a scientific calculator. Their music consists of an all-embracing range of metal, from a variety of influences to create a very dynamic and progressive sound. Dark Waters End has a sound that can range from beautifully-haunting to terrifying in a matter of minutes. Influences from bands such as Converge, The Dillinger Escape Plan, and The Faceless inspire the band to approach metal from all angles and can be aggressive, peaceful, and brutal all within a single song. Additionally, influences from bands such as The Contortionist and Between the Buried and Me have paved the way for the band to incorporate atypical melodies and provide a robust blend of progressive metal.
