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 STRING MACHINE The music of String Machine is rapturous and inviting. You’ll find an undeniable magic within each note, a palpable energy owed in part to its creative process. Hallelujah Hell Yeah is an album of joy, vulnerability, and forgiveness. Through this inventive indie rock, seven friends manage to transport you to the bedrooms, basements, and home studios in which this was all created, conceptualized, and recorded. This recording is the band’s representation of what it means to be grateful that one is alive, regardless of whether that carpe diem spirit is sourced in optimism (“Hallelujah!”) or nihilism (“Hell Yeah!”). It’s a powerful statement that rings especially poignant in such uncertain times. The former solo project of vocalist and guitarist David Beck, String Machine was created when Beck enlisted a number of friends to help create his musical vision. The group, now seven members — Beck (he/him), Laurel Wain (she/her), Nic Temple (he/him), Katie Morrow (she/her), Ian Compton (he/him), Dylan Kersten (he/him), and Mike Law (he/him) — collaborated on two previous records — Youth Fossil and Death of the Neon. String Machine isn’t shy about sharing their heart with you, and that confessional spirit continues on Hallelujah Hell Yeah. “The album was inspired by moments of dealing with anxiety surrounding a lot of personal stuff. Usually, my instinct when anxious is to keep myself busy. Writing songs was the middle ground where I could solve inner-turmoils while feeling productive,” Beck said. Reconnecting with journaling enabled Beck to let down his guard, and for that, Hallelujah Hell Yeah has an uniquely spirited driving force. “This writing experience felt a lot more honest & confessional. Instead of writing blurbs of nonsense & attaching meaning in a subconscious archetypal way, I tried to be more deliberate about having purpose in what I sing/write,” he said. “Every song has a place. I’d write the music and hum melodies until they were catchy enough to be stuck in my head. Putting the words to the music this way was a lot different than what I’d done before.” Each single stands as a snapshot. Opener “Places to Hide,” which finds liftoff in its twanging strings and unexpected use of trumpet was written beachside in Ocean City, Maryland. “Touring In January; was written during a solo tour in the Poconos and uses keys, horns, and a bittersweet view of touring to create a moment of emotive triumph. When it's all pieced together, you’ll feel as if you’re an eighth member of String Machine, paying witness as a band reaches their fullest, glorious potential. Since the release of Death of the Neon, String Machine has garnered praise from publications including Pitchfork and GoldFlakePaint. They’ve played with acts including Ratboys, Wild Pink, Slaughter Beach Dog, Another Michael, and Mandancing.Raavihttps://raavioli.bandcamp.com/https://www.instagram.com/raaviband/Grocerhttps://itsgrocer.bandcamp.com/album/scatter-plot

Consisting of Jon Puleio (bass/vocals), Kevin Murray (guitar/vocals), Tyler Magazzu (guitar/vocals) and Ammiel Hundley (drums), Familiar Things aims to push the boundaries of the pop punk and alternative music genre. With the use of an array of musical instrumentation, multi-part harmonies, and catchy melodies, their songs have always been written for the purpose of feeling an emotion and to be able to sing and jam along. Forming in 2017, Familiar Things have always shared the common love of pop punk and pop rock, though their musical influences have gathered from many branches of music, from country to indie pop to metal. In the years since they have formed, they have shared the stage with the likes of I See Stars, The Color Fred, The Happy Fits, Boys of Fall, Bronnie, and many more talented artists. The band continues to write and record at a nearly constant rate and with each new release, look to challenge the norms of the pop punk and emo scene. https://linktr.ee/familiarthingsmusic AfloatAfloat is an alternative and emo band based out of Cherry Hill, NJ. With influences from bands such as Movements, Arm’s Length, and Tigers Jaw, our songs pull on our listener’s emotions. Hitting the scene with their new ep release “Where I Stand” via Sinking Ship Records, is a reflection of the band’s self growth and personal experiences. Along with new music, we are very active in the local South Jersey and Philadelphia music community. Continuing to curate our sound, we are focusing on building our fanbase and making new connections in the scene. https://linktr.ee/afloatband MCGH Maybe it’s the first place you learned that strings of swear words could be spewed in the same sentence with no consequence?

Coming at you with the tastiest of jams (sans the peanut butter), this dynamic DelCo/LeCo hybrid becomes Philly’s phreshest thing since that lil special to good ole BDN on 4th & Goal in the bowlhttps://www.mycousinsgirlfriendshouse.com/

Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMMadame Gandhi“Going deep, bravely into the pain” is how activist-artist Madame Gandhi describes Vibrations, her third studio album — and could easily double as a subtitle for it. For several years prior to the pandemic, the overachieving artist and public speaker had spent her life traveling on and off. (Here’s a sampling: Touring Oprah and MIA alike; leading a Ted Talk; writing a song for Hillary Clinton’s streaming series, Gutsy.) “While that time was beautiful, it distracted me from deeper emotional work that I didn’t know I had to do. Sometimes when we’re in that pain,” Gandhi says, “we forget that getting past it is possible. After all, pain are the pulsations that remind us we’re alive. https://www.madamegandhi.com/Perfect Cycleshttps://perfectcycles.bandcamp.com/Slighthousehttps://instagram.com/slighthouseband?igshid=OGQ5ZDc2ODk2ZA%3D%3D&utm_source=qr
