THICK ~ Skating Polly ~ Teenage Bigfoot
**All events 21+ — valid ID required for entry**Doors: 7:00 pmShow: 7:30 pmTHICKOver the years, THICK have earned recognition as an unstoppable live act, with their show typically spawning a mosh pit described by Stereogum as “more like an aggressive hug.” As they dreamed up the tightly crafted yet uncontainable sound of 5 Years Behind, the band kept the live experience at the forefront of their minds. “When we write, we write toward the emotions of the audience,” says Sisti. “I know that lyrics play a huge role in connection, but I’m personally more focused on visualizing how people might physically respond to a song—what it would make them feel in the moment and how it might make them move or dance.” Now gearing up for a national tour in support of 5 Years Behind, THICK aspire to strengthen the palpable sense of inclusivity that’s defined their shows from the start. “We want people to feel safe in the mosh pit, and hopefully connect with each other,” says Page. “We’ve made so many friends at the shows we’ve played, and we’d love it if people could build some kind of community from coming to see us.” And in the making of their first full-length effort, THICK aimed to instill an undeniable feeling of solidarity into each of the album’s tracks. “In a way the theme of all our songs is: ‘We’ll get through this. We’re not going to be kept down,” says Black. “I hope when people listen to the album, it gives them that same feeling. And I hope they feel like, if they ever needed it, we’d absolutely have their back.”https://thick.band/SKATING POLLYFusing elements of alt-rock with classic D.I.Y. punk and indie pop, savvy Oklahoma sibling band Skating Polly found international exposure through rigorous touring, earning both critical acclaim and support of the indie rock scene. Kelli Mayo and Peyton Bighorse formed the group at a young age, with their brother Kurtis Mayo joining in 2017. The band is noted for their alternating instruments among each member, poetic lyrics, intense live shows, melodic arrangements, and an eclectic array of songs. They have released five albums and make over thirty music videos. https://www.skatingpolly.com/TEENAGE BIGFOOTLike most teenagers, this band has taken on quite a few shapes. Since 2017, Teenage Bigfoot has been Tiffany, Joe, and Jake, but the band looked much different in 2014 when they played their first show at Philadelphia’s original First Time’s the Charm festival. As the only active band from the fest, Teenage Bigfoot continues to strike like lightning with their artful blend of 90s skate punk, melodic hardcore, and pop punk gushy stuff. The band has shared the stage with Jeff Rosenstock, Masked Intruder, The Dirty Nil, Mischief Brew, The Dollyrots, among others, and in 2019, Teenage Bigfoot accompanied long-standing Japanese pop punk outfit, NAVEL, on their first ever U.S. Tour. Teenage Bigfoot released “Weapons Against Darkness” November 2021 via Bloated Kat Records.www.teenagebigfoot.comhttp://teenagebigfoot.bandcamp.comFacebook & Instagram: @teenagebigfoot

**CANCELED** Dead Boys ~ Suzi Moon ~ Tone Bandits
THE DEAD BOYSThe Dead Boys are an American punk rock band from Cleveland, Ohio, United States. The band was among the first wave of punk, and regarded by many as one of the rowdiest and most violent groups of the era. They were formed by vocalist Stiv Bators, rhythm guitarist Jimmy Zero, bassist Jeff Magnum, lead guitarist Cheetah Chrome, and drummer Johnny Blitz in 1975, with the later two having splintered from the band Rocket From The Tombs. The original Dead Boys released two studio albums, Young Loud and Snotty, and We Have Come for Your Children.The Dead Boys were initially active from 1975 to 1980, briefly reuniting a few times in the mid-1980s, and then later again in 2004 and 2005 for the first time without Bators, who had died in 1990. In September 2017, Chrome and Blitz reunited the band with a new line-up for a 40th anniversary tour along with a new album, Still Snotty: Young, Loud and Snotty at 40, a re-recording of their debut album. The new lineup includes vocalist Jake Hout, guitarist Jason “Ginchy” Kottwitz and bassist Ricky Rat, alongside Chrome and Blitz.SUZI MOONSuzi Moon’s effortless channeling of classic ‘77 punk rock spirit with a modern twist continues to evolve and grow.

**CANCELED** The Bombpops ~ The Last Gang ~ Riverside Odds
**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PM THE BOMBPOPSWhere The Bombpops had a Fear of Missing Out on their 2017 debut full-length, their highly anticipated follow up shows what happens when you’re too involved—with booze, bad situations, and behavior that’s unsustainable at best and destructive at worst. This is Death in Venice Beach (Fat Wreck Chords, March 13th), the comedown after the high, when clarity pierces the morning-after haze. It’s right there in the title, an allusion to Thomas Mann’s celebrated novella about the price of an artistic life. The Bombpops co-founder and singer-guitarist Jen Razavi read it as the band debated titles for their second full-length. “It’s a cautionary tale to those that want to become an artist,” she says, “but it’s also really comforting to artists who can’t help or necessarily contain being who they are and what they’re drawn to.” https://www.instagram.com/thebombpops/?hl=enTHE LAST GANG The year is 2021. America is still fighting its way through an ongoing pandemic, currently fueled by the ignorance of millions who have decided science isn’t good enough for them. Countless lives have been lost or disrupted by an inefficient government loaded with corrupt politicians, egged on by snake oil salesmen who are inexplicably given nightly platforms on cable TV or allowed to spread their disinformation through social media. Make no mistake: Rome is burning. We are fiddling.Pissed off yet? So is The Last Gang. https://www.thelastgang.com/Riverside OddsFronted by RW Hellborn’s gravely vocals and a larger-than-life stage presence, along with Matty Cobra’s combination of blues rock meets punk riffs, Riverside Odds has been sharing their signature blend of ‘Speed-Punk Rock-N-Roll’ across the country since 2013. Cutting through genres like a razorblade with an energetic stage performance that is anything but mundane, Riverside Odds has been described as “a perfect blend of Black Flag, Ramones, Clutch and Motörhead.”Www.riversideodds.com

Holy F*** ~ Penelope Isles ~ John Deluxe
*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry*7 PM Doors7:30 PM ShowHOLY F***A band who have played by their own rules for the last part of 15 years, Holy F**’s new album is the most accomplished moment yet from a group who have become one of their country’s finest, and most influential, exports; seamlessly fusing the gauzy drive of krautrock and deep house’s dreamy ineffability, and expertly blending purring motorik percussion with the sort of fuggy synthetic fizz that so often sends clubbers into states of unselfconscious rapture.https://www.holyfuckmusic.com/Penelope IslesPenelope Isles are centred around siblings Jack and Lily Wolter, originally from the Isle of Man, and for several years now based in Brighton. They create dynamic blissed-out moments soaked in fuzz-noise waves – their songs fragile yet ferocious. Indie-psych currents meet lustrous melodies with a blend of the sibling’s voices. To support the release of their debut album ‘Until The Tide Creeps In’ they played over 150 shows all over the world, including three tours in the USA. They’ve hit the road with bands ranging from The Flaming Lips to Wallows and The Magic Numbers. Loved by fans, DJs, tourmates and writers, this debut marks them out as one of the most exciting UK bands of the last few years. “Sweltering guitars scorch the earth while summery synths and keys frolic in spaces left between the drum line and spiraling vocals, the riff phrases communicate nearly as much warmth and meaning as the lyrics do.” – Stereogum “There is a grandeur to their songs, big and swelling, ebbs and flows…The whole band is seriously talented, and…seriously rock, too.” – Brooklyn Vegan “…a dreamy but biting piece of guitar pop…soaring, pastoral, highly intelligent songwriting.” – Clash MusicSpotifyJohn DeluxeJohn “Deluxe” Markowski is a guitarist/vocalist based out of Philadelphia who uses samples and a variety of acoustic instruments to create unique avant-pop songs.https://johndeluxemusic.bandcamp.com/
