Sacred Monsters ~ BEES! ~ Unlucky Mammals ~ Jima
**All shows 21+—valid ID required** Doors: 8:00 PM Show: 8:30 PM Sacred MonstersThe members of Sacred Monsters are anything but scary. However, their first EP was created during a frightening time in history: 2020. In the midst of a global pandemic, “Bones” was written and produced by everyone sharing files through Google Drive. That’s right! Without ever meeting in person they created 5 songs of upbeat Sad Girl Rock. Today, Sacred Monsters call Philadelphia, PA (and adjacent suburbs) home. They still share song ideas via Google Drive, but with the added luxury of working them out in person at band practice.https://open.spotify.com/artist/04gwCu3yKQZaSt9bq1qpvr?si=QQ-Uc7zzR9C4x6tFpRyhjw&nd=1 BEES! BEES! is a goofy riffy rock band from Philadelphia featuring Mike Huff on guitar and vocals, Adam Sivilich on bass and Ralph Lepera on drums. It’s not like they’re the bees; it’s more like you’re in a horror movie being chased by giant, radioactive bees screaming, “BEES!” Inspired by The Presidents of the United States of America, Queens of the Stone Age, and the music from Super Mario World, a BEES! show feels like you’re back in a 90s arcade. Since coming out of hibernation, BEES! has played at Camp Punksylvania and Elephant Talk Indie Music Fest, released a new EP called “Bees in Space,” and created a video game featuring pixel art bees designed by fans. Head to beesphilly.com to check out the music and play the game!https://linktr.ee/beesphilly Unlucky Mammals Unlucky Mammals is a Philly-based jangle punk trio. The band’s sound combines the loud, fuzzy hooks of ‘90s alternative rock with the ringing, chiming melodies of jangle pop. (Think early R.E.M. covering Dinosaur Jr.).

Since the band’s inception in 2020, the group has released 6 singles, 1 EP, and are currently working in the studio on an upcoming series of 2023 releases. https://linktr.ee/mycousinsgirlfriendshouse

Whether it’s an esoteric groove, poignant melodies, or an absolute shred fest, Aquatic Ape Theory’s focused and electrifying energy delivers an unprecedented experience to listeners.Lower AetnaDrawing on the classic rock of the ’70s, the synth-driven dreamscapes of the ’80s, and the wall-of-sound stadium rock of the 2000s, The Lower Aetna makes music for tailgating the end of the empire. The project’s debut record, Waiting for God to Turn on the Lights, is a startlingly vivid investigation of families, aging, and radicalization in the internet age. Waiting for God to Turn on the Lights is now streaming on all major platforms.www.theloweraetna.comMr Multch
