Sunburster + Demons + American Ethos + Desperate Living
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 6:00 PMShow: 6:30 PMDEMONSAs a new year ushers in new nightmares, art counters with menacing mechanisms for catharsis and a spillways for aggravation. Norfolk, VA’s Demons return with their blistering second full length, “Privation,” a distorted and aggressive contribution to a collective ringing of alarms amidst destructive times. Drawing from the spirit of band’s like Metz, Gulch, Converge, Propagandhi, the Demons crew punishingly delivers ten tracks of raw and confrontational fury, motivated from within a spiraling sociopolitical landscape that evokes critical self-reflection and frustration. On Privation,” Demons has found even more synchronization, with a set of songs that are self-described as “more focused,” “a little more punk rock,” and “just better.” While a seemingly simplistic account, the description holds true in all the best ways. Fans of the previous full-length and EPs will find solace in a continuation of form with “Privation,” but with the dials all turned further clockwise — louder, faster, tighter, and more urgent.https://linktr.ee/DemonsUSA AMERICAN ETHOSBandcampDESPERATE LIVINGBandcampSUNBURSTERBandcamp

Blood Handsome’s sound is an eclectic mix of retro soundscapes, nostalgic synths, and cinematic undertones. Pulling from his post-punk roots and mixing his moody instrumentation, along with brooding vocals, Blood Handsome continues to evolve and mold his unique sound. His latest album, A New Calm, was released last year.https://bloodhandsome.bandcamp.com RYDER HOUSTON (Philly)Ryder Houston is an American filmmaker and musician originally from Dallas, TX now residing in Philadelphia. As much as his evocative sound dotes on alternative pop acts Depeche Mode, Garbage, and Nine Inch Nails, his inky discography continues veering deeper and deeper into a groovy electronica allusive to late ‘90s Massive Attack and Sneaker Pimps, his spidery vocals weaving clichés of lust and rock ‘n’ roll menace anew.https://ryderhouston.bandcamp.comCOLD CHOIR (Asheville, NC)Cold Choir launched from the sheer desire to create darkwave, dance music, with irreverent self-expression, poetry, and often-socially conscious subject matter. Mario (synth/production) and Franky M’s (singer/songwriter) music is ingrained in EBM, disco goth, early 80s electro, freestyle, and industrial, accompanied by a stirring vocal.https://coldchoirmusic.bandcamp.com DJ SET – KISS OF THE WHIP (Baltimore) DJ set by Baltimore’s favorite DJ, Tristan, from Kiss of the Whiphttps://kissofthewhip.bandcamp.com/

**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:30 PM Schaffer the DarklordSchaffer the Darklord (or STD) is a New York City-based rapper, drummer and comedian with material best-suited for nerdy and/or hedonistic audiences.

STD has released nine albums and is a founding member of the touring nerdcore hip-hop collective known as the Four-Eyed Horsemen, along with MC Lars, Mega Ran and MC Frontalot. When he’s not on the road, he produces the NYC burlesque/wrestling hybrid event called “TasselMania.” STD continues to write, record and perform with great frequency and has no intention of stopping until his rock and roll lifestyle destroys him.CoolzeyGolden era hip-hop roots planted in black Iowa dirt and tempered by 90s alternative era rock influence yields a juxtaposition of the dark, horrific nature of life paired with a slapstick and comedic view of the world, allowing for a wide, unpredictable arsenal of material ranging from soul-spilling indie bedroom rock to wise-cracking battle rap and on to radio pop.Joe Jack TalcumJoe Jack Talcum (a/k/a Joe Genaro) is an American musician and songwriter who co-founded the Philadelphia-based punk rock band The Dead Milkmen.

Loves Hackers aesthetics and is an aspiring cult leader.@therealmelissabNazeer Art’audNazeer Art’aud is an independent artist from Philly who began rapping at the age of 12. His earliest vivid memory of falling in love with hip hop, is cruising through Philly in his Uncle June’s green hoopty listening to Gimme the Loot by The Notorious B.I.G. Alex Smith of WXPN described his style as “the epitome of the street stories and outre metaphors of late ‘80s to early ‘90’s hip hop, exhibiting a lyrical quality delivered in the cadence of peak Biggie Smalls but drunk watching Saturday morning cartoons.” Art’aud wants his music is to entertain audiences via dope storytelling, and in return, he just wants them to feel something while traveling on the musical journey that he takes them on. http://linktr.ee/nazeerartaudMan Like MachineMAN LIKE MACHINE are a Philly three piece that surf an alternative wave of grunge and Electronica into a new density… The explosively rhythmic trio recently began work on their highly anticipated debut album and follow up to 2019’s “3×3,” the 432 frequency driven three-song EP released under Seventh Wave Records. “Sequential series of perpetuating nuance of tone, horror, and unforgettable vocal deliverance. The EP 3X3 leaves Man Like Machine a force to be reckoned with.” V13 Magazine https://campsite.bio/manlikemachine
