**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 8:00 PM Show: 9:00 PMMickey Avalonhttp://mickeyavalon.com/Mel B5ft tall bimbo from Orlando into electro-pop bangers, grimy beats and processed vocals. 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

Will Joseph Cook (Cambridge Hall)
**All Ages** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Will Joseph CookWill Joseph Cook makes music that will put a smile on your face. The indie-pop dreamer’s third album, Every Single Thing, is an exercise in joy: a collection of unashamed love songs, it’s a bubbling and exuberant reminder to cherish the present. “I felt that from a cultural perspective, not that many people write about love in a positive way or from a perspective of being happy anymore,” Cook says. “Most of the sincere, biographical writing these days is about a break up or the pursuit of love, whereas I just wanted to celebrate the moment I was in rather than looking forward or backwards. I wanted to see what a sincere love song sounded like in 2021 and share what I was feeling. All of the songs are real in that respect. They’re all based on my life.” Aside from being in love and releasing a new album, Cook has bountiful reasons to celebrate this moment in time. The past 24 months have seen his life change exponentially. After he released his second album, 2020’s chirpy yet reflective Something To Feel Good About, one of his songs, the glimmering and breezy “Be Around Me,” went viral on TikTok. This wasn’t just viral, though: for weeks the cutesy bridge of “Be Around Me” was inescapable, becoming one of the platform’s most popular sounds with over a million videos made using it. “A good chunk of the top 200 videos will have had millions of views, too,” Cook says, still in disbelief. “So how many times was it heard? It’s kind of magical in that respect. Also, I had no control over it. Even if I deleted it, it’s part of the internet. It’s in TikTok’s DNA. It’s not mine anymore.” Such an explosive response to his music was validating for Cook, who says that he’d been feeling a bit of self-doubt about his place in music before “Be Around Me” blew up. Why? Because despite his young age, the 24-year-old is a little bit of a music industry veteran. Born and raised in Tunbridge Wells in the south east of England, Cook has been involved in music since he was a teenager, gigging locally and uploading music to YouTube and Soundcloud. His songs about the tumult and technicolour of teenage life captured the attention of managers and before he knew it, he had signed a major label record deal by the age of 17.https://willjosephcook.co.uk/

Their video/single “The Hunt” was released back in September to resounding reviews and has been said to sound “like a Joy Division song dialed into a gnarly guitar pedal or three” and accompanies a video that is “is a gory homage to classic slasher films”, definitely a must watch. Coming at you with their aggressive yet catchy tunes, a chaotically high energy live show, and more swagger than rock-n-roll’s greats, The Membrains are truly a force to be reckoned with.

Amid the global pandemic, which halted both the Nashville sessions and tour plans for 2018’s epic Civilianaires album, The Trews completed The Wanderer at home in Canada with producers Derek Hoffman and Eric Ratz, emerging with their fiercest and most accomplished set of songs to date, and a heck of backstory to boot.http://www.thetrewsmusic.com/ Sunday Mournershttps://www.instagram.com/sundaymourners/?hl=en

Their music is a high-octane blend of fuzz and diesel fuel that hits hard enough to send you through the windshield and grooves harder than torn asphalt. Resolute, their sophomore 2021 release received critical acclaim and showed the band still retains the chip on their shoulder that made their debut album Threshold an underground favorite. https://linktr.ee/TheAgeOfTruth
