Baldini and The Bastards ~ Slow Motion Sadface ~ Dirty Soap
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Baldini and The BastardsBaldini has always used the word “American” when discussing the sound The Bastards create. It is a wild blend of sounds that are found elsewhere than their native Philadelphia. The music simultaneously does and does not lend itself to the influences of the song structures. The mixture of many sounds and styles expressed in the songs evokes familiarity without constraint to the obvious – new expressions, without intention. The Bastards brick wall of sound took dedication to patience – constant practice blended with no-rules experimentation. The comfortability they present during live performances shows their growth as a band and strength in communication while the seriousness of the content on a number of songs elicits the continuation of the hard-hitting truth-telling front porch train ride American tradition.https://baldiniandthebastards.bandcamp.com/Slow Motion SadfaceSlow Motion Sadface is the garage rock passion project of a former drummer in the Philly scene, JT Melvin. Dropping the sticks, Melvin picked up the axe and looks to follow in the footsteps of punk greats, with esoteric songwriting and cutting guitars.https://www.instagram.com/slowmotionsadface/Dirty SoapDirty Soap is a Rock group from Philadelphia. Founding members, Spoon Ferguson and Thomas Martin, met in high school and quickly formed a musical bond. Blending Spoon’s raw vocals, affinity for traditional Blues, and unique guitar stylings (he plays left handed with inverted strings) with Thomas’ smooth Doo-wop approach and catchy song writing. The name Dirty Soap represents these opposing styles. Over the years they crafted their unique sound on Philly street corners and parks – dubbing themselves “Doo-wop Punks”. Now with their explosive live performances, hard work, restless dedication, and a youthful excitement and love for their craft, they strive to be amongst the many greats to come out of Philadelphia. www.dirtysoapmusic.com
REZN ~ ORYX ~ OLDEST SEA
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMREZNFor the uninitiated, the music churned out by the Chicago ethereal heavy psych quartet REZN manages to convey both crushing mass and cosmic weightlessness. With their fourth upcoming full-length entitled Solace, the band once again blurs the boundaries of their psych and doom labels by exploring more delicate and introspective emotions in the lyrics and instrumentation, using the feeling of empty space to build into towering moments of maximalist density. The appearance of piano, flute, and acoustic guitar are intricately woven throughout the record, and their dynamic range seems expanded even at the heavy end with odd time signatures and thicker, more colossal walls of sound built by the rhythm section. “This was the first time we were able to immerse ourselves 24/7 in the studio,” says guitarist and vocalist Rob McWilliams, “and it was essential in giving us the headspace to take risks with the songs. After a week straight of recording for twelve or more hours every day, you start to go crazy in a good way. We wanted it to push us into new territories musically, but also transform the record into something much bigger than what we initially envisioned.” Solace was recorded at Earth Analog in Tolono, Illinois by producer/mixing engineer Matt Russell, and mastered by Zach Weeks at God City Studio. Featuring cover art by the prolic Portland-based painter Adam Burke / Nightjar Illustration, Solace will be released March 8th on vinyl, CD, and digital formats.https://rezzzn.bandcamp.com/ORYX Celebrating 10 years as a band, ORYX continue to deliver their own brand ofunrelenting sonic assault seamlessly blending layers of blackened doom, sludge, death metal, and black metal. As a three-piece, ORYX masterfully integrate contrasting dynamics between brutal hypnotic doom and feather-light contemplative dirges, engaging the listener at every turn. Their third and most recent release, Lamenting a Dead World (2021), was recorded at Juggernaut Studio and mastered by Greg Wilkinson of Earhammer Studio. Since their inception, ORYX have completed multiple headlining US tours, served as direct tour support for Electric Wizard, shared the stage with numerous well-established acts such as Sleep, Eyehategod, Ufomammut, Old Man Gloom, and Kylesa, and performed at a variety of festivals in the US, thus carving a name for themselves in the metal underground.https://oryx.bandcamp.com/OLDEST SEAhttps://oldestsea1.bandcamp.com/

HE TAPS HIS PEN ON HIS CHIN INTENSELY, CONTEMPLATING THE FIRST AND ONLY LINE THAT READS: “I’M GOING DOWN”.

BandcampSTAY UP LATEStay Up Late is a rock band based in Philadelphia, PA. The band consists of Ivan Shlyk (guitar/vocals), Val Pivchenko (guitar/vocals), Ricky Garcia (bass/vocals), and Mike Preston (drums).Stay Up Late’s story began in Minsk, Belarus around 2015, when Ivan and Val met in the comments section of latter’s cover of “Therapy” by All Time Low. They bonded over their mutual love of pop punk, Guinness and psilocybin and began writing songs and playing local shows. The band was gaining momentum and even opened two shows for Our Last Night, playing for 1000 people on both nights, but due to the unstable political situation in Belarus, the duo moved to the United States and settled in Philadelphia. There, they reunited with their old friend Ricky Garcia, who helped the band with lyrics and took on the role of bassist for the band; as well as met local drummer Mike Preston, best known for being a member of Hollow Pledge.Currently, Stay Up Late is performing shows in the northeastern US and working on the debut album, which will be released throughout 2023, with the first single “Medusa” already available.https://www.instagram.com/stayuplatebandhttps://twitter.com/stayuplateband

Palm Ghosts ~ Marcus Hook ~ Sick Panda
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMPalm GhostsThe sound of an 80s prom in a war zone…located in the dead heart of country music, Nashville, TN. “Palm Ghosts is a heat seeking missile for early alternative rock fans “ – SPIN Magazine“Dance Music for an age of Chaos” – Nashville Scene“If ever there was a need for some good dystopian pop, 2021 is the year. And thankfully Palm Ghosts heard the call.” – Associated PressPost-punk.com said the track Blind is: “A gorgeous, tribal-infused track with equal hints of Peter Gabriel, The Teardrop Explodes, and Gang of Four.”“Made in the USA during the 2020 quarantine Lifeboat Candidate has antecedents in Peter Gabriel’s third 1980 solo album, The Cure’s Three Imaginary Boys and the early I Will Follow/11 O’clock Tick Tock-era U2 but filtered through a modern American sensibility to reflect on the worries and horrors of the modern world.” – We Are Cult UKManchester’s Analogue Trash describes Palm Ghosts as: “Achingly beautiful, fragile and majestic music. An intoxicating mix of Shoegaze and Dream pop, taking from the 80’s but not in debt to it.”http://www.palmghosts.net/Marcus HookAural transmissions from a former funeral home in South Phillyhttps://distrokid.com/hyperfollow/marcushook/marcus-hook-ep Sick Pandahttps://sickpandaband.tumblr.com/music
