She Past Away ~ LUNACY ~ Mighty Mike Saga (The Loft)
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PMShe Past Awayhttps://shepastaway.orgLUNACYLUNACY is a dystopian shadow figure located in Rural Pennsylvania— a character set in the empty corroded future focusing on themes of loneliness, emptiness & mental illness. A character that often fits the description of late ‘80s & early ‘90s post-apocalyptic films. The project rose to the surface in 2016 with a set of 4 track demo recordings and consistently released material every 6 months until the release of the debut album Age Of Truth on Third Coming Records in Winter 2019. All releases have always been based around art and design of a specific release and have always been released in limited colorways, always selling out quickly. The project often described as lo-fi, noise and ambient explores different elements of shoegaze, minimal synth & post punk while developing a sound unique and identifiable to the project. Over a short time, Lunacy has shared the stage with the likes of Chrome, A Place To Bury Strangers, King Dude, Health, Youth Code, Automelodi, Bambara, Twin Tribes, Sextile, Skeleton Hands, SRSQ, & Tempers while also having a small run in Europe with Some Ember & Offermose in 2018. Lunacy has a full US tour booked with MVTANT from September through November of 2021 in anticipation for the Sophomore release of “Echo In The Memory” – out April 1, 2022 on Oliver Ackermann’s (A Place To Bury Strangers / Death By Audio) newly founded label Dedstrange. Echo In The Memory marks a new chapter for LUNACY’s sonic annihilation centered around trying to rebuild a world that no longer exists. Previous works have been recorded on a 4- track Tascam Portastudio using various analog single unit drum machines, guitar, bass and synths. On this upcoming release the recording process has changed quite a bit. Echo In the Memory was recorded on an Otari Broadcast MX50/50 – a 4 track 1/4 inch tape machine brought back to life by Sean Hur. All backing tracks, drum samples & loops were produced on an all black MPC1000 except, “Fragmented Pulse” which used the classic DR-55 with an 8/12 bitcrusher fuzz pedal handmade by Kyle Reiff. Both analog & digital synths were used along with guitar & bass with various effects pedals. Recorded over a two year period from 2019 – 2021 in the Dustbin in Rural Pennsylvania, mixed by Connor Clasen & Mastered by Oliver Ackermann. In the Lunacy tradition, Echo In The Memory was released on two variants of Limited colored vinyl, featuring original cover art from Dusty Ray and Logo work from Jesse Draxler. Echo In The Memory was released on Dedstrange on April 1, 2022. Lunacy will release its follow up EP ‘Under Pressure’ on May 26, 2023. Mighty Mike Saga – DJ SET

Among the most prolific, electrifying, and innovative bands on the planet, The Trews — singer/guitarist Colin MacDonald, guitarist John-Angus MacDonald, bassist Jack Syperek, drummer Chris Gormley, and keyboardist Jeff Heisholt — have shared stages with everyone from the Rolling Stones to Weezer, Bruce Springsteen to Rich Robinson, the latter collaboration culminating in three blazing tracks on the band’s latest, The Wanderer, cut in Nashville with the onetime Black Crowes guitarist. Amid the global pandemic, which halted both the Nashville sessions and tour plans for 2018’s epic Civilianaires album, The Trews completed The Wanderer at home in Canada with producers Derek Hoffman and Eric Ratz, emerging with their fiercest and most accomplished set of songs to date, and a heck of backstory to boot.http://www.thetrewsmusic.com/ Sunday Mournershttps://www.instagram.com/sundaymourners/?hl=en

Formed in the early 1990s, KeN’s history has included shows with such greats as the Psychedelic Furs, Mike Watt, Alice Donut, The Makers, Scrawl, Burning Brides and Ben Folds Five.

The Knee-HI’s ~ The Girls ~ The Out-Sect ~ Harsh Symmetry
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 7:00 PM Show: 7:30 PM The Knee-HI’sChicago based all-girl rock band, The Knee Hi’s, are romancing the world as a living love letter to rock n roll. Combining their individual tastes and raw DIY approach this group is serving up style & charm of all their own; described as “cosmic nostalgia for the soul”, “junkshop glam”, & “electric & eclectic”. Stream their debut album “Charmed” now and look out for “Razzle Dazzle”, their second album, coming summer of 2023. THE GIRLS The Girls are a 5 piece band from Wilmington North Carolina, with their song “Schools for Fools” recently featured in the NETFLIX movie “Along For The Ride”. THE GIRLS have a stage presence of mixed emotions that range from angry and intimidating Rock N’ Roll to a happy power pop glam energy, easily getting the crowd moving and participating in these fun and catchy yet attitude ridden songs to sing along to and dance from start to finish. Jp “Peaches” Verardi lead guitar and vocals is sure to get the crowd rowdy and ready to the night with his on stage antics, blood spitting, confetti cannon shooting happy chaotic energy. The Out-SectThe members of The Out-Sect met while living in a Philadelphia junkyard. On weekends, they would gather to drink beers inside a broken down 1982 GMC Caballero with a copy of Back From The Grave stuck in the car’s cassette player. Instantly being drawn to the trashy sounds of those pimple-faced mid-60s punks, they figured they could write a song half as good as any of them. And that’s just what they did! Using instruments they literally found in the trash, the band has managed to write a handful of deranged “songs” that will leave you asking yourself “What is that smell?” and “Dear god, can they just stop playing!?”Harsh SymmetryHarsh Symmetry is the synthesizer driven solo project of the California based musician Julian Sharwarko. Blending 1980s post-punk and new wave influences with more contemporary genres like dark wave and minimal wave, Harsh Symmetry paints a refreshing and danceable picture while maintaining a good sense of revivalism.
