The band formed in early 2019 when Sara, Ryan and Nathan met on the Philly DIY forums online. Not long after meeting for the first time, the three started playing covers of Fleetwood Mac songs and adapting Sara’s previously acoustic music to be played by a full band. Sara pulled in Nicholas to drum, and the foursome was set. The band’s music combines the shimmering, heavy guitars of indie legends Soccer Mommy and Petal with lyric and vocal styles reminiscent of the soulful Joni Mitchell and Jeff Buckley. Caring Less has been playing shows at venues all over the Philadelphia area, including The Grape Room, Khyber Pass Pub, and West Philly’s famous Porchfest music festival. The core of Caring Less’s music is lead singer Sara Johnson’s expressive and evocative vocals. Nathan Garfield sings backup vocals and plays lead guitar, Ryan Acito holds down the bass lines and Nicholas Kreh keeps itall together with the drums. Caring Less spent the summer of 2021 recording and perfecting their first major release, an EP due in Summer 2022. This EP has six songs demonstrating the depth and breadth of their unique sound.linktr.ee/caringlessArchive SpecialArchive Special blends vintage rock riffs and hooks with standout percussion, smooth keys and soaring vocals.

The Schizophonics ~ The Blessed Muthas ~ Civil Rats

**All shows 21+—valid ID required**Doors: 7:00 PMShow: 7:30 PMThe SchizophonicsOver the last few years, THE SCHIZOPHONICS have built up a formidable reputation around the world as an explosive live act. Tapping into the same unstoppable combination of rock ‘n’ roll energy and showmanship that fueled THE MC5 in the heyday of the Grande Ballroom, their wild live show is heavily influenced by artists like JAMES BROWN, IGGY POP, JIMI HENDRIX, LITTLE RICHARD, and THE SONICS. Singer/guitarist Pat Beers and drummer Lety Beers formed the band in San Diego in 2009 and have worked tirelessly since then, playing hundreds of shows around the globe. In 2013 they were recruited as the backing/opening band for EL VEZ, which helped the band make a name for itself in Europe. Since then, they’ve played in numerous countries, and supported tours by like-minded acts like ROCKET FROM THE CRYPT, LITTLE BARRIE, THE WOGGLES and have opened for the DAMNED, DEVO, HIVES and CAGE THE ELEPHANT. Shindig magazine described their live show “Like watching some insane hybrid of WAYNE KRAMER, JAMES BROWN, and the Tazmanian Devil”. The band is more than just a live act, they’re also committed to writing great memorable songs. Their new album in due in the fall of 2022 along with extensive tour dates. The Schizophonics- hailed by Spotify as the “wildest live band in America” – wouldn’t want it any other way.https://schizophonics.com/bioThe Blessed MuthasThe Blessed Muthas were once described as, “a gang that played music on the side”, by detroit DJ Angela Woman. But, in actuality they are ordinary misfits from the same old mill playing Rock n’ Roll to get their thrills. The Muthas remain true to the early punk rock sounds of the 70’s. Influenced by NYC punk such as the Heartbreakers, thr NY Dolls, and the (NYC) Victims. Also infuenced by bands like the Dead Boys, and Iggy Pop. At times their infuence ventures across the pond to English Punk such as UK Subs, the Damned, and so on. Get it? Gangs don’t always play by the rules. In the last 22 years the Blessed Muthas have opened up for bands such as The Avengers, MC5/DTK, Nikki Corvette, Sonny Vincent, UK Subs, The Waldos, The Breifs, the Bell Rays, the Zeros, the (NYC) Victims, and local Philly punk legends Pure Hell, Ruin, and the Sick Kids. They continue to blaze a trail of red hot hooligan Rock n’ Roll and musical mischief across the stages they encounter. So check them out! They are tighter than Lux Interiors pants!https://www.facebook.com/search/top?q=the%20blessed%20muthasCivil RatsWhat do you get when you cross three rodents with a love of music, partying, and nonsense? CIVIL RATS—the latest garage pop sensation sweeping the Philadelphia undeground. Coming together after a series of miseries and misfires from past musical projects, the former members of former bands Molly, Dale, and Isaac started up in the Spring of ’22 with one goal: play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Or is that two goals? Who cares! These rats are here to stay, and they’re here to slay. With a handful of shows in the can and a 6-song demo released on bandcamp, Civil Rats are ready to take the world by storm … without an umbrella. Watchya say? Do you know your Civil Rats? https://thecivilrats.bandcamp.com/

An Evening With Local H (The Loft)

**This event is 21+ — Valid ID required for entry**Doors: 7 PMShow: 8 PMLOCAL H (Here Comes the Zoo 20th Anniversary Tour) Local H, the iconic alt-rock duo known for their blistering live shows and unorthodox two-piece setup, are at the top of their game three decades after they first burst onto the music scene. Now, frontman Scott Lucas, who covers both guitar and bass (through an extra pick up in his guitar), and drummer Ryan Harding are gearing up to release their 9th studio album, LIFERS. 
 Local H’s first major release was 1995’s Ham Fisted, but it was their 1996 follow up album As Good As Dead that positioned the band as one of the elites of 90s rock. The radio hit “Bound For The Floor” emerged as a generational anthem and remains a staple on playlists around the country today. Their widely praised 1998 concept album Pack Up the Cats solidified Local H as a leader in the genre, and the albums that followed reflected not only the band’s definitive character, but also their relentless effort to give their audience as much of themselves as possible. 
 The past five years have been some of the busiest of their career. They released their 8th studio album Hey, Killer, numerous EPs and live records, and a series of “Mix Tapes” featuring a surprising mix of cover songs. They’ve toured almost constantly, with hugely successful tours with the likes of  and , including performances on ‘s sold out stadium tour. 
 2020 will see the band on tour with fellow 90s alt-rock vets in the Spring, and their new album LIFERS will be out April 10 via AntiFragile Music. http://www.localh.com/
