NO REFUNDS/EXCHANGES for anyone underage who purchases or attempts to use these tickets.Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMBONGINATORIn late 2021, guitarist and vocalist Erik Thorstenn started writing demos for a yet undetermined death metal project born from his passion for cheesy 80’s movies and growing weed. Fast forward just one year later, and the band now known as Bonginator has made a crushing impact on the death metal scene. Bonginator is a stoner death metal band based out of Boston, MA, but don’t let the name fool you. Bonginator isn’t your everyday stoner band, they pack a serious punch of hardcore death riffs and gut ripping breakdowns that come together to create an experience that can only be described as “hands-free” if you know what I mean. Bonginator totes the phrase “Two-Stepping Neon Weed Death” as a means to simplify their hardcore, energetic, 80’s inspired weed-infused death metal sound into a cool phrase on a t-shirt. Since the official launch of the band on January 1, 2022, Bonginator has toured the country multiple times and released their debut EP, “The 1986 Doink City Massacre” on April 20, 2022 through Barbaric Brutality. Bonginator anticipates growing even larger with the release of their debut LP, “The Intergalactic Gorebong of Deathpot” which releases April 20, 2023, keeping true to this bands dedication to the crop. Bonginator has already released two singles off the album, “CHOPPED 2 PIECES” and “Zombie Party Rockers”, and the anticipation has only grown since. Bonginator is confident their music will change the game. FROG MALLET https://frogmallet.bandcamp.com/ BODY FARM https://sothisisprogress.bandcamp.com/track/body-farm

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM TallahEmerging from Pennsylvania in 2018 and combining the percussive force of second-generation drummer Max Portnoy with the fury of vocalist and YouTube sensation Justin Bonitz, Tallah coins the term nu-core: The band’s debut album ‘Matriphagy, a harrowing concept album of brutally disturbing metal, was met with critical acclaim, with Slipknot’s Knotfest crowning it “one of the best metal releases of the year” and Metal Hammer declaring Tallah are leading the charge on the new wave of Nu-Metal”. ‘Matriphagy’ was also devoured by the fans, with the album racking up 9 million Spotify streams in the months since its release. l2021 saw Tallah indulge fans with a colossal collaboration “Vanilla Paste” (where they were joined by members of the formidable Chelsea Grin, Fire From The Gods and Guerrilla Warfare), hit up spots at major USA festivals such as Blue Ridge Rock Fest and Welcome To Rockville, and receive nominations for Best International Breakthrough Band at the UK’s Heavy Music Awards and Best Live [Streamed] Act at the AIM Independent Music Awards.

**CANCELED** Hands of Spite ~ Kiki Kramer ~ Drift
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 Hands of Spite Hands of spite is a Boston based alternative rock band in the same vein as Nirvana, Alice In Chains, and The Meat Puppets. Fronted by Austin Bullock (Guitar/Vocals) and Sam Gelston (Guitar/Vocals), they are the creative force and main songwriting sources. They both draw from similar mouths of the river, but from a different cup. Austin comes from a background of classic rock intertwined with a touch lofi/garage rock, while Sam comes from a more traditional punk and grunge upbringing. Hands of spite is backed by a thunderous rhythm section of Zac Stein (Drums/Vocals) and Nate Belton (Bass). Zac and Nate both come from hard rock and metal backgrounds, while supplementing a songwriters feel for the music. https://www.handsofspiteband.com/ Kiki Kramer Kiki Kramer is a singer-songwriter currently based in NYC. She began songwriting at thirteen, her very first song ‘Reign’ appearing on an episode of Dance Moms (S5, E28). Kiki continued cultivating her singing and songwriting abilities, influenced by artists such as Fiona Apple, Lana Del Rey, Marina, Melanie Martinez, Gwen Stefani, and Amy Winehouse. With lyrics so honest they verge on the edge of satire, set to indie pop type beats, her discography is the epitome of camp for the i-Generation. https://linktr.ee/kikikramer Drift Drift is a Philadelphia based Indie-Rock band of best buds. Formed during their time at Drexel University, consisting of Ben Weiss on vocals/guitar, Ryan O’Grady on lead guitar, Henry Merker on bass, and Tristan Walker on drums.https://driftphilly.com/
