The Dead Pockets ~ The Cospirals ~ Sean C Smyth
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 The Dead Pockets The Dead Pockets are a Rock band from Philly, PA. They have gone through a couple lineup changes before solidifying their present band members. James Morozin (Lead Singer), Johnny Brennan (Bass), Matt Kelly (Guitar), Chuck Haegele (Guitar), and Bill Carley (Drums). The band started with two cousins Chuck and Johnny looking for other musicians to jam with, they found Matt on craigslist and Bill from an older band. This lineup stayed the same, but finding the right singer was the hard part. Until, James with no prior singing experience asked to step in and he was the guy for the job! They have since gained a small presence on social media with their “Lodi” cover by CCR on youtube, and from their first live show. They have a good setlist of original tunes and are headed to the studio in November to record their first ever EP. They enjoy playing and writing in the style of older, retro rock but like to put their own modern twist on their songs. Some of their influences are the Rolling Stones, Kings of Leon, CCR, and The Guess Who.https://open.spotify.com/artist/6g10P5Bw3OrFOLI3V8SY67The CospiralsCospirals are a cosmic country rock band that formed in Lehigh Valley, Pa in 2023. Pieces of Philly bands and solo projects relocated and combined to blend psych, surf, blues and twang. Their setlist includes songs from their frontman, Ebb Flynn’s, solo EP and new songs slated for a 2024 release of their own. Sean C Smyth

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 PMShow: 8:00 PMBLOOD CLUBBLOOD CLUB are a post-punk inspired band, drawing inspiration from each band member’s latin roots to create a unique, multilingual sound in their work. Founded by lead singer Jesse Flores in 2022, the band has amassed thousands of listeners during their first couple of months performing locally in chicago and plans to continue this upward trajectory as they create new music. As part of a three man band, lead singer Jesse Flores is a seasoned performer/guitarist and songwriter. Now taking a step into his own project and band along with his guitarist Jorge Calderon and Bassist Daniel Vela, the three man band hopes to continue amassing followers worldwide. Using minor key tonality, heavy synths and introspective lyrics, Jesse uses the occasional touch of spanish in his songwriting as well to create a hybrid genre of darkwave that has romantic, but dark undertones. Currently represented under Cruel Management and its affiliates, the band is on an upward trajectory and definitely worth giving a listen.Dustbowl Championhttps://www.instagram.com/dustbowlchampion/?hl=enCasket Cassettehttps://casketcassette.bandcamp.com/Saint CyanideSaint Cyanide makes designer noise.

They’ve played in a bunch of bands over the years – together and separately – and blah blah blah, etc., etc. Proudly from Philadelphia.https://saintcyanide.bandcamp.com/track/mouth-knife

Day Job ~ Wipes ~ King Slender ~ The Scoleri Brothers
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 PMDay JobDAY JOB is a fairly new band from Birmingham, AL comprised of two individuals who have been playing with one another in a variety of other bands around the area over a long period of time and a recent transplant with a resume of their own. Day Job started with Brenton and Kevin wanting to work on something more aggressive than their two other active bands, Null and Bulging. After jamming with several different drummers, they watched scene newcomer Jake pummel through a live set and found their fit, ultimately landing on what is now Day Job. After spending about 6 months writing and playing their initial shows, the trio recorded a debut EP with Shibby Poole (Thirdface, Yautja) in early 2022. Hex Records took quick notice of the group and a deal for a full length was quickly struck up. As an introduction of sorts, the band recorded a few more tracks which were released through Hex as a limited split tape release with Wipes, also on the Hex label. Day Job then began the writing process for their debut full length, “The Auger”, in February 2023. The whole procedure of writing and recording took just 6 months and in that time the band played live only once so that they could pour everything into writing new material.www.dayjobnoise.bandcamp.comWipesWipes is a band from the Allentown/Bethlehem, PA area that remains quite familiar. That might be because the band started as almost an off-shoot from Tile, who had been blasting eardrums for well over 10 years. When Tile’s guitarist began taking on more adult responsibilities and had less time to devote to the band remaining members Ray Gurz (bass, vocals) and Michael Dumoff (drums) began looking for another guitarist to fill out the band. Soon Wipes was born and began writing music at a furious pace. The band demo’ed a few songs, putting up one on their bandcamp page just to give people an idea of what was going on. Not long after the band did a very limited lathe cut 7” on Limited Appeal Records with two more tracks showcasing what they were up to.King SlenderImagine if Drive Like Jehu tried to make a Portraits of Past worship record. Vicious, yet straight ahead. Three vocalists and a two guitar onslaught with riffs that realize the urgency and depth of what makes emotional hardcore such a vital genre of music.https://www.instagram.com/kingslenderpa/The Scoleri BrothersDespite the cliche of naming their band after characters from an overwhelmingly popular movie that everybody grew up with, The Scoleri Brothers are anything but, mixing many diverse styles of “extreme” music like grind, thrash, hip hop, sludge, power violence and hardcore punk. They’ve been told they sound like Biohazard, a more complicated Minor Threat, early Botch, and mid 90s Jade Tree Records. They’re confused but they’re cool with it.Thescoleribrothers.bandcamp.com
