Sham 69
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 PMSham 69Sham 69 was formed in 1975 with the members Jimmy Pursey, Neil Harris, Albie Slider, Billy Bostik and Johnny Goodfornothing. The band played at many of the famous punk hotspots during this time, performing fan favourites such as ‘Borstal Breakout’ and ‘Hey Little Rich Boy’. By late 1977 the band line-up was changed on advice of the management. Guitarists Goodfornothing and Harris were replaced by Dave Parsons, and Mark Cain replaced Bostik on drums. Slider stayed on to record the first single, ‘I Don’t Wanna’ – produced by John Cale of The Velvet Underground; the success of this single on the independent charts saw Sham 69 signed to Polydor Records. Bassist Slider was replaced a few months later with Dave Tregunna. This line-up stayed stable until 1980 when Cain left and was replaced by Ricky Goldstein. Thanks to the popularity of punk rock in the UK at the time, Sham 69 scored a string of five consecutive top 20 singles with ‘Angels With Dirty Faces’, ‘If The Kids Are United’, ‘Hurry Up Harry’, ‘Questions And Answers’ and ‘Hersham Boys’, some of which were performed on Top of the Pops. The band’s first three albums, ‘Tell Us The Truth’, ‘That’s Life’ and ‘The Adventures Of The Hersham Boys’ charted at numbers 25, 27 and 8 respectively. However, like the times, punk began to lose its bite and many bands either broke up or started making new wave music. Sham 69’s gigs were often plagued by violence and this played a major part in the band’s demise in 1980, just after the release of its fourth album, ‘The Game’. Many fans saw this as a sell-out as the band tried to evolve into a new style of its own, heavily influenced by classic British rock bands. Pursey went off to pursue various projects including a solo career, whilst Tregunna and Parsons formed The Wanderers with the late Stiv Bators of The Dead Boys. Later, Tregunna and Bators would form Lords Of The New Church with Nick Turner of The Barracudas and Brian James of The Damned.
Kowloon Walled City ~ Rid Of Me ~ Cherubs ~ Death Pose
AGE RESTRICTION: All Ages Doors: 7:00PM Show: 8:00PMKOWLOON WALLED CITYHeavy four piece from Oaklandhttps://inthewalledcity.comRID OF ME (Access To The Lonely record release)Heavy, melodic noise punk from Philadelphia featuring members of Fight Amp and Low Dose. Loud and quiet, raw yet honed, Rid Of Me strikes a nerve for anyone wanting to hear melody, emotion and punishing groove filtered through walls of noise and dissonance.http://ridofme.bandcamp.comCHERUBS30+ years ago in Austin, TX 1992, cult kings of noise rock, CHERUBS, released their debut album, Icing, via Butthole Surfers drummer, King Coffey’s, label Trance Syndicate. Originally recorded and produced by Mr. Colson (L7, Dwarves, Linkin Park), Icing has now been remastered and remixed by Eric Wofford (Explosions in the Sky, Young Widows, The Black Angels), complete with new album art by the band’s Kevin Whitley. Much darker, aggressive and rawer than the material CHERUBS would become known for, Icing captures the band at their most primitive form while hinting at the melodic intricacies they would develop over the years. This is where it all started for CHERUBS and somehow it’s still happening over three decades later.https://www.instagram.com/cherubsbandatx/DEATH POSEdeath pose are a brand new heavy-as-shit band from Chicago, IL. Originally known as big bird., the band formed in 2022 from the ashes of numerous punk/hardcore/indie bands including Typesetter, Little Teeth, The Sky We Scrape, etc. After quickly releasing a three-song EP, they supported heavy hitters like The Casket Lottery, Local H and Hum’s Matt Talbot, along with an appearance at Gainesville’s 20th anniversary of the legendary Fest.https://www.instagram.com/deathposeband/
Defiance
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 DefianceDefiance formed in 1993 from the ashes of three of Portland’s seminal Anarcho-punk bands, Deprived, Resist and Unamused. The band quickly made a name for themselves with their uncompromising no-frills punk rock, straight forward political lyrics, and imagery that could have been lifted from UK ‘82. It wasn’t long, either, before the band’s chaotic nature, penchant for alcohol and other indulgences, and a bad habit of attracting unwanted attention from the law gained them a reputation as, well, a little unpredictable… Defiance has weathered the changes and the chaos of the past years, having released four full-length Lps, numerous singles and Eps, and multiple tours of the USA, Europe, Mexico, Japan and Canada. Defiance are back with a vengeance, once again hitting the road in support of their 2022 LP War On The Streets https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pnq6SuZGuYhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F9Zp-b6s34CINDERBLOCKThink The Trouble meets Ultra-Violent.

Agent Orange ~ Spice Pistols ~ Tone Bandits
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 6:30 PM Show: 7:00 PM Agent OrangeThe Original Southern California Punk/Surf Power Trio, Agent Orange, is one of only a handful of bands who have been continually active since the earliest days of the West Coast Punk Scene. A small circle of musical rebels who came together to form a movement, they took their place front and center to experience and participate in the explosion of now legendary underground music that was created during the golden era of American Punk Rock. Being the first to combine the melodic California surf guitar sound with the frantic energy of punk, Agent Orange invented the formula that would come to define the Orange County punk sound. Highly influential to many of the bands who have followed in their path, Agent Orange have always stayed one step ahead. Their strong connection to the Action Sports world has resulted in their music providing the soundtrack to numerous major motion pictures, video games, surf and skate films, television, and live sports events. The last of the true independents, Agent Orange have managed to stay true to their roots, while always moving forward. Powered by a loyal following built up through years of explosive live performances all over the world, Agent Orange continue to deliver their Fullblown-Supercharged-Punk-Surf Sound on an international basis, with a never ending schedule of tours in the United States, Canada, South America, Europe, Australia, and Japan. C’mon down front and expose yourself to Agent Orange.Spice PistolsWhat if… What if you could take the attitude and raw rock and roll fury of the Sex Pistols and fuse it with the sass and fun of the Sp ice Girls? This was the question Hairy Scary Spice (Mike Muellenberg) asked himself, and the rest of the world in 2017. Ginger Binger Spice (John Risdon) and Maybe Baby Spice (Michael Fairchild) were brought on board with Shorty Sporty Spice (Mike Van Dyle) as the genesis of The Spice Pistols. In their first year as a band they performed on Americas Got Talent, and were summarily x’d out of existence by Simon Cowell. He relented that the Spice Pistols sounded better than the original. But still, fuck you Simon! Ov er the next few years the band went through a few drummers and has worked with James Lightbody, Dider Suarez, Dave Klein, Rick Agnew, and Jim Isaac. They played shows in the Southern California area as well as recording and releasing a demo . In 2020, the core line up added Mosh Posh Spice (Doug Walker) and began touring. After a successful tour supporting seminal punk rockers Agent Orange, the Spice Pistols are releasing music through Pacific Records and Wet Records. The Spice Pistols fuse fun and playfulness with a high energy powerful rock show, and are ready to bring their particular brand of party to a stage near you!Tone Bandits With members hailing from the London, New York, and San Francisco rock scenes, the Tone Bandits are pure Philadelphia energy, with roots in straight ahead rock & roll and punk rock. Ready for a classic melodic two-guitar attack with real Philly punk energy? That’s exactly what’s dished up by the Tone Bandits!https://www.instagram.com/thetonebandits

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
