Early Day Miners ~ Nylon Ghost ~ Honey Radar
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMEarly Day MinersAfter 7 studio albums with both Secretly Canadian and Western Vinyl records over the last 20+ years, Early Day Miners have returned with their latest offering, and their first with Solid Brass records, titled Outside Lies Magic. Led by Daniel Burton founding member and engineer of albums by Songs: Ohia, Papa M, Okkervil River, and Windsor For The Derby the band has enlisted various friends to round out their studio and live performances since their formation in Bloomington, IN over 20 years ago. Their early compositions mirrored the seemingly inescapable expanse of the Midwest. Now based in New Orleans their sound has yielded a subtle but correlative shift in the band. The Crescent City; its name is not only a reminder of its shape carved out by the river cradling it, but also a perfect allegory of a city forever in flux between the most contrasting aspects of the human condition, from light to dark. Outside Lies Magic offers an audible lightness. post notably Dan Burtons voice, once hushed and at times hesitant, is now full bodied and sure; his heart, once tenuously carried on his sleeve, is now firmly in his throat. And though this might be the leanest the lineup has been, they are focused and warm, exuding the maximalism of their new home with nuance and a laissez faire approach. Early Day Miners sound as unhurried as ever, but never aimless; they have finally arrived. Outside Lies Magic will be released digitally and on Limited Edition Desert Sand or Ultra Clear vinyl on Friday 3/22/24 by Solid Brass records from Los Angeles, CA.Nylon GhostNylon Ghost’s music is the product of over a decade of change, growth, and friendship. Their unique sound blends elements of indie rock, pop, and folk music to create something truly special. With soaring melodies and introspective lyrics, their songs capture the highs and lows of the human experience. At the heart of Nylon Ghost’s music is their unwavering commitment to each other and their shared vision. Their friendship is what sets them apart and makes their music truly authentic… according to ChatGBThttps://linktr.ee/nylonghosthttps://www.instagram.com/nylongh0st/https://nylonghost1.bandcamp.com/Honey Radarhttps://honeyradar.bandcamp.com/

Rosie Tucker ~ Rachel Reale
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMROSIE TUCKERRosie Tucker is a born songwriter, an evocative vocalist, an accomplished rock instrumentalist, and a funny gender-queer art weirdo serving up truly fresh indie rock with an ear for the long queer lineage of politically conscious singer-poets like The Indigo Girls, Ani Difranco, Tracy Chapman, and Glenn Copeland.The songs that make up Tucker’s fourth LP, Utopia Now! are career-defining, aiming to make a watermark high above most every other songwriter in their genre. Written solely by Tucker (with the exception of “Eternal Life”, a cover of an evocative recent Numero Group unearthing) and produced entirely by Tucker and longtime collaborator Wolfy, this most recent effort is both a homespun labor of love and a hi-fi, creatively ambitious swing for the fences. Recorded at their home studio in Altadena in between walking the dog and watching campy art films, Tucker’s latest album is a beautiful snapshot in time, a picture of healing from the isolation of both the global pandemic and the atomization of artists. Spotify RACHEL REALE Rachel Reale is the kind of singer/songwriter who isn’t afraid to tell it like it is. Inspired by artistslike Fiona Apple and Lana Del Rey, her music is lyrically driven, with her strong, assured voiceat the forefront of her sound. Her alternative baroque-pop sound paints a colorful image of anexpansive, vivid inside world. Rachel uses her music to capture the sound of the humanexperience- a passionate, delicate, contemplative and wildly emotional thing. Rachel’s latestsingle, “The Real World,” was released in May.

SIR E.U ~ Jah$tar ~ Airospace ~ Fast Car Slow Car ~ Ren Cinema
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM Sir E.U Washington D.C. emcee whose high-level lyricism and diverse beat selection transcends music genres. The raw genius that emanates from Sir E.U’s live shows is something one truly has to see to believe. “I’ve seen Sir E.U rap with a Helly Hansen jacket draped over his face. I’ve seen him rap supine on the sidewalk. I’ve seen him rap clutching three microphones in his hand, as if hoping to triple the size of his voice. I once saw him rap in a state of blinky delirium during the final moments of a 25-hour concert when he only ever stopped rhyming to drink water. These performance modes might sound like stunts, but in a cumulative sense, the D.C. rapper appears unable to stop himself from broadening the critic Kodwo Eshun’s beautiful idea of hip-hop as “omni-genre.” -Washington Post https://sireu.bandcamp.com Jah$tar The Northeast Philly avant-garde rapper is one of the most versatile artists in the city. Whether he’s rapping over production with intense 808s and cosmic melodies, or a traditional boom-bap beat, Jah$tar is always gonna body his verse. His dedication to remain fiercely independent as a musician represents a new generation of artists who are retaining ownership of their work and building truly authentic following. https://soundcloud.com/jahstarshi Airospace Airospace is a revolutionary artist, musician and photographer creating multidimensional raps for the people still living in the BPM of sensitivity. If their thought provoking lyrics and elevated, layered beats weren’t enough to bring catharsis – their vocal range is sure to invite the most hesitant and unlikely listener. Born and raised through the traumas of the trenches in Southeast DC, Airospace has made the most beautiful of their harsh reality with the medicine of honest expression. Bridging connections between anime, Japanese culture + HipHop, Airospace influenced the genre we know today as LoFi. https://open.spotify.com/artist/6gnWD8bGyUUn1H9j87F0B Fast Car Slow Car The Philly-based Electro-indie band has been on a musical tear this past year, captivating every DIY space, club, and venue graced with their presence.

Forever Grey ~ Faux Fear ~ New Desires
AGE RESTRICTION: Only Ages 21+ can purchase tickets for this show. NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets. Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMForever GreyForever Grey is a darkwave band from Los Angeles, California. The first album was released in 2015 and was titled Poems About Eternity. Young & Cold Records produced Autumn Calling, Alabaster Chamber, Departed and Sympathy Garden on vinyl. Kevin and Anna are the artists behind musical projects Milliken Chamber, Prudence and Belladonna Grave.https://forevergreyband.wixsite.com/forevergreyFaux FearDetermined to “stop repeating the boring parts of the past,” goth/post-punk trio Faux Fear formed in late 2020 shortly after singer/drum programmer Audrey (she/her) and guitarist Nicholas (he/him) moved to Reading, PA. As true Cocteau Twins scholars they won’t play pop without the prefix “dream-” in front of it. Laying the groundwork for a new band in late 2020, the married couple wrote songs and developed their sound in quarantine at home for “when human interaction became a thing again.” An initial third member became convinced that Audrey and Nicholas were working for the CIA and running a sex cult (really), which almost left Faux Fear as a duo before the Philly-based Pra (he/him) answered a Craigslist ad and completed the picture on bass. Like their darkwave forebears, Faux Fear’s offerings like “Uncharted” and “Legacy” maintain a tricky balance between atmosphere and propulsion. The trio balances the stillness of reverberating specks of guitar with thick slabs of bass and drum machine as Audrey coolly explores the space between with her calmly intense vocal lines, smoothing over even the unexpectedly dissonant chorus of the latter and taking on a whole other dimension. “Code of the Sea” is as oceanic as its title and somewhat akin to folding the rippling waves of vintage Slowdive in with New Order’s most magnetic repetitive hooks.https://fauxfear.bandcamp.com/New DesiresSince 2010, DJ Paul T has been an integral part of DJSC, a revered event night in Philadelphia that pays homage to the iconic sounds of Depeche Mode, Joy Division, New Order, The Smiths, and The Cure. This specialized focus not only underscores DJSC’s dedication to celebrating the enduring legacy of these bands but also highlights Paul’s deep-seated appreciation for the foundational pillars of post-punk. As a co-founder along side John D, Paul T has cultivated a community of enthusiasts who share a passion for these groundbreaking artists, creating a vibrant space where nostalgia and contemporary soundscapes intersect. DJ Paul T’s career, spanning over two decades since he began DJing in 2000, has been marked by a constant pursuit of musical evolution while staying true to the roots that inspired DJSC’s inception. With the launch of “New Desires,” he expands the musical repertoire of DJSC beyond its original focus, embracing a broader spectrum of genres, including modern post-punk, dream pop, dark wave, new romantic, and FM synth-based music. This initiative reflects his ambition to explore the boundaries of music and to offer his audience a more diverse listening experience.https://www.djscphilly.com
