Morgul Blade ~ Sonja ~ Outsect
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMMorgul BladePhiladelphia’s Morgul Blade writes traditional heavy metal with a nod to second wave Scandinavian black metal, combined with the lore of the great J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth, and other subjects including history and folklore. The 4-piece outfit explores the darker, more sinister side of heavy metal with harsh vocals interspersed with heroic clear ones. Telling tales of magick and might, forlorn battlefields, heroic deeds, and beings of unlimited power, the band released their hotly anticipated debut full length; Fell Sorcery Abounds” (No Remorse Records) in 2022. Morgul Blade hopes to transcend the subgenres of metal and create music that builds worlds and takes you away from crushing modernity.Sonjahttps://sonjaband.bandcamp.com/OutsectThe members of The Out-Sect all met while living in a Philadelphia junkyard. On weekends, they would gather to drink beers inside a broken down 1982 GMC Caballero with a copy of Back From The Grave stuck in the car;s cassette player. Instantly being drawn to the trashy sounds of those pimple-faced mid-60s punks, they figured they could write a song half as good as any of them. And that’s just what they did! Using instruments they, quite literally, found in the trash, the band has managed to write a handful of deranged “songs” that will leave you asking yourself “What is that smell?” and “Dear god, can they just stop playing!?”

TIOGA ~ Citywide ~ Jeff Linden
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 6:30 PMShow: 7:00 PMTIOGACultivated in the eternal city of Brotherly Love, TIOGA creates music that sounds like if Jack Antonoff and Brandon Flowers went to a karaoke bar and sang Talking Heads songs until they got kicked out and then mumbled David Bowie songs to themselves on the walk home. The group marries their meaningful lyricism and endearing style of alternative indie with a hearty bass and danceable synth-pop sound. Their homebase now extends beyond the confines of Philadelphia, and as far as the Big Apple.https://linktr.ee/tiogatheband CITYWIDECitywide is an alternative rock band based in Philadelphia. The three-year-old quintet is composed of Emily Goldenberg, Ben Manning, Evan Brink, Patrick Cosgrave, and Andrew “Fred” Frederick. The group formed after a happenstance encounter between Ben, former guitarist Ray, and Fred in 2019 at a party hosted by Emily, who became the band’s lead singer and frontperson. Named after the city-wide drink special in Philadelphia (a shot of bourbon and a beer, usually cheap), the group found shared interest in the upbeat modern sounds of The Lumineers, Lake Street Dive, and Mt. Joy. Simultaneously, the group traced its roots to the nostalgia and familiarity found in classic rock. Meddling Kids, the band’s first full-length album, features ten songs that personify the band’s heightened excitement and creativity. All five members contributed to songwriting and arrangements found in the album, ensuring a tasteful blend of textures and melodies. From the hard-hitting percussion and guitar tracks heard in Memoirs of a Prom Queen to the sophisticated vocal interplay in Once Made Man, the group’s latest work reaches a wide range of sonic interests. Bassist Evan Brink engineered and produced the album, which was released in July 2022.MusicJEFF LINDENhttps://jefflinden.bandcamp.com/
