SUMMARY:Bahamas w/ Sister Ray
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM\nALL AGES\n$25.50 advance / $30 day of show \nAfie Jurvanen does not spend too much time in cities these days. For nearly two decades\, Jurvanen was a fixture of the Toronto scene\, both as a valued multi-instrumentalist and producer for friends like Feist\, The Weather Station\, and Kathleen Edwards and as the architect of one of his country’s most celebrated artists\, Bahamas. Jurvanen came of age across Bahamas’ first six albums\, the restlessness of jumpy early hits like Pink Strat and Barchords slowly shifting into the generous domesticity of 2023’s Bootcut. But Jurvanen has long been drawn to open spaces\, to a quieter life. In 2009\, the year of his aforementioned debut\, he began visiting Nova Scotia\, the Atlantic Ocean. Over the next decade\, his trips became more consistent\, then more frequent\, and then longer\, until\, in 2019\, Jurvanen and his family of four finally made the move—nearly 2\,000 kilometers northeast\, to Nova Scotia. They live a lifestyle\, Jurvanen half-jokes\, that is “close to Mennonite.” The kids are homeschooled. No one has an iPad. Text messages can feel like miracles.

SUMMARY:Gladie w/ Noun
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM\nALL AGES\n$15 advance / $20 day of show \n\nNo Need To Be Lonely\, the latest from Philadelphia band Gladie\, is serene\, but for only just a moment. For a moment it’s a swirling dream\, like paper dancing in the wind\, as Augusta Koch’s voice filters in all calm and measured with words that crack the surface of the heart. “Small dose of humiliation/it keeps me humble/it keeps me waiting\,” she sings. And then a snap as incandescent rhythms arrive like wolves at the gate\, all guitar and drums like a whirling storm\, and the crack on the heart tears until it becomes an ocean. \nEach minute on No Need To Be Lonely is a memory carried out on the nerves of the body\, unshakable melodies that become blood in the veins. There is something about a good and perfect song that lives in your bones\, as if it has become a part of you. What has long been the unshakable core of Gladie’s prowess is Koch’s indelible strength as a songwriter\, a craft that has only been honed with time\, creating inalienable hits that will burrow in and never leave the core of your memories.

SUMMARY:Snarky Puppy: Somni Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nAfter a decade of relentless touring and recording in all but complete obscurity\, the Texas-bred/New York-based quasi-collective suddenly found itself held up by the press and public as one of the major figures in the jazz world. But as the category names for all five of the band’s Grammy® awards would indicate (Best R&B Performance in 2014\, Best Contemporary Instrumental Album in 2016\, 2017\, 2021\, and 2023)\, Snarky Puppy isn’t exactly a jazz band. It’s not a fusion band\, and it’s definitely not a jam band. It’s probably best to take Nate Chinen of the New York Times’ advice\, as stated in an online discussion about the group\, to “take them for what they are\, rather than judge them for what they’re not.” \nSnarky Puppy is a collective of sorts with as many as 25 members in regular rotation. They each maintain busy schedules as sidemen (with such artists as Erykah Badu\, Snoop Dogg\, Kendrick Lamar\, and D’Angelo)\, producers (for Kirk Franklin\, David Crosby\, and Salif Keïta)\, and solo artists (many of whom are on the band’s indy label\, GroundUP Music). At its core\, the band represents the convergence of both black and white American music culture with various accents from around the world. Japan\, Argentina\, Canada\, the United Kingdom\, and Puerto Rico all have representation in the group’s membership. But more than the cultural diversity of the individual players\, the defining characteristic of Snarky Puppy’s music is the joy of performing together in the perpetual push to grow creatively.

With a combined experience of over 100 million records sold worldwide\, this supergroup brings unparalleled musicianship and innovation to every performance. \nTony Levin\, renowned for his work with Peter Gabriel and King Crimson\, is one of the most recorded bass players in music history.

His unique setup combines acoustic drums with electronic elements\, creating a rich tapestry of rhythms and textures. \nMarkus Reuter rounds out the trio with his self-designed touch-style guitar\, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on a stringed instrument. His innovative approach complements the group’s progressive sound. \nStick Men’s music defies easy categorization\, blending elements of Art Rock\, Progressive Rock\, and at times Progressive Meta. Their live shows are a testament to their improvisational prowess\, featuring extended jams that showcase each member’s virtuosity. The band also pays homage to their King Crimson roots by performing select pieces from that legendary group’s catalog. \nStick Men continues to evolve and push the boundaries of progressive rock. Their unique instrumentation and combined centuries of experience make for an unforgettable live experience that will captivate audiences and leave them in awe of the trio’s musical mastery.

SUMMARY:Throwing Muses w/ Non Bruises
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM\nALL AGES\n$30 advance / $35 day of show\n+ $3 at the door if under 21 \nThrowing Muses released their new album ‘Moonlight Concessions’ in 2025 via Fire Records. The album follows their acclaimed ‘Sun Racket’ from 2020\, a heady set filled with tough and tender tales spiked with surreal imagery. ‘Moonlight Concessions’ goes back to basics\, a return for Throwing Muses to their esoteric off-kilter best courtesy of Kristin Hersh’s pin-sharp sketches and their suitably abrasive musical arrangements\, a collection of snippets from everyday life writ large – think Raymond Carver Short Cuts\, overheard conversations\, recounted happenings and telling one-liners\, all sewed together to illustrate the times as they slowly mature\, fully peppered with original Muses’ vim and vigour. Following a string of packed shows across Europe in Spring and Summer 2025\, these shows are Throwing Muses’  first U.S. appearances in over a decade. \nWith nearly 40 years of Muses’ history behind her\, Kristin Hersh continues to be one of the most compelling voices in American rock — a fiercely original songwriter and a magnetic live performer.

SUMMARY:Chuck Ragan w/ Heart & Lung / Flippant
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7:30 PM | Show 8:30 PM\nALL AGES\n$25 advance / $30 day of show \nPeople discover Chuck Ragan in different ways. Some people know Ragan from the pioneering punk act Hot Water Music he’s co-fronted for the past three decades. Others are aware of his successful solo career or the Revival Tour\, a collection of traveling troubadours that included his peers like Frank Turner and the Gaslight Anthem’s Brian Fallon. Some folks may have even come across him from the successful fly fishing operation he runs out of Grass Valley\, California. The one throughline through all this is the way that Ragan approaches everything with a level of honesty and integrity that can’t be faked—and that sentiment is undeniable on Love And Lore\, his first solo collection in ten years and one that’s being released as Hot Water Music take a well-deserved victory lap for their breakout album Vows\, which came out earlier this year.

But on her new semi self-titled project\, Jordanaland\, the 25-year-old songwriter has officially crafted a place all her own. \n“Jordanaland is definitely an escape from Americaland.

SUMMARY:The Obsessed w/ The Great Iron Snake / Radian / Bessemer Saints
DESCRIPTION:7 PM Doors | 8 PM Show\nAll Ages\n$18.50 ADV / $22 DOS \nSince their formation in 1978\, they have become known around the world for their influential contribution to the origins and continued legacy of the doom metal and underground hard rock genres. The distinctive vocals and guitar wizardry of founder and driving force Scott “Wino” Weinrich has left a mark on the world of heavy music that continues to inspire. \nThe Obsessed gained momentum in the Baltimore/DC area of the USA in the early to mid 1980’s during the height of the hardcore punk movement. Often cited as the band that bridged heavy metal and punk together\, the band gained the respect of punk heavy weight contemporaries Black Flag\, The Bad Brains\, and Minor Threat\, to name a few. The attitude and spirit of The Obsessed has led many to regard them as “America’s Motorhead”. \nWino went on to join the doom metal giants Saint Vitus as lead singer on seminal albums including 1986’s ‘Born Too Late’‘. In 1990\, The Obsessed came back with their eponymous debut album\, “The Obsessed”. This album was quickly followed by 1991’s “Lunar Womb” and 1994’s “The Church within. \nThe band then signed with Relapse Records and recorded 2017’s “Sacred”\, an album showing The Obsessed were back with pure vengeance. Sacred brought the band to venues and festival stages around the world. \nIn 2022 the band became a four piece with the addition of Chris Angleberger on bass and Jason Taylor on guitar. The band has been touring heavily since and have been seen on USA and European festival stages such as HellFest\, Freak Valley Festival\, Snowblind Festival and multiple DesertFests. \nThe band’s 2024 album\, Gilded Sorrow\, on Ripple Music\, marked a new chapter in their legacy. The album captures the essence of the band’s classic sound while adding a fresh new atmosphere with a dual guitar attack. In 2025\, Bob Pantella (The Atomic Bitchwax\, Monster Magnet\, Raging Slab) joined The Obsessed on drums. To quote Wino\, “This is the strongest The Obsessed has ever been. We are geared up and ready to play. We will be hitting your city soon!”

SUMMARY:LaMP: Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger\, Ray  w/ Da Land Brass Band
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM\nALL AGES\n$20 advance / $25 day of show \nInterstate jammers LaMP — featuring Vermont-based Russ Lawton (drums) and Ray Paczkowski (keys)\, alongside Brooklynite Scott Metzger (guitar) — distill singular\, road-honed improv instincts into taut\, instrumental epics. \nWhile each of the players has extensive experience with other gigs — Lawton and Paczkowski with the Trey Anastasio Band (TAB) and Soule Monde\, and Metzger through projects such as Joe Russo’s Almost Dead (JRAD) and Medeski\, Martin\, Metzger & Cline (MMMC) — LaMP has hewed its own path. \nThe trio is currently touring behind their second studio collection\, One Of Us\, that packs 10 tracks into 35-minutes of kaleidoscopic interplay and club-shifting grooves. It’s the cleanest distillation of the LaMP sound yet\, a mission statement of improvisational group-think and compositional chops. \nThroughout its runtime\, One Of Us acts as a showcase for the myriad of sonic flavors LaMP brings to the table\, delivering a listen which works both as deep headphone immersion or a packable-party custom-tailored to deliver the jams to upcoming 2025 tour hangs. \nAs word has spread and crowds have grown with each subsequent tour\, it’s become clear that LaMP ft. Russ Lawton\, Scott Metzger & Ray Paczkowski will be a musical force to be reckoned with for the foreseeable future.

SUMMARY:Spiritual Cramp w/ GUV / Imploders / The Carp
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM\nALL AGES\n$20 advance | $24 day of show\n+ $3 at door if under 21 \nSpiritual Cramp aren’t looking for a soapbox. The San Francisco-born punk experimentalists are here to flash a big smile\, flip you off\, deliver a burst of musical adrenaline\, and then keep on walking. “But at the same time\, that’s something that I’m working on\,” vocalist Michael Bingham knowingly grins. And on their upcoming sophomore album\, RUDE (due TK via Blue Grape Music)\, Spiritual Cramp discover a newfound balance between that impish cheekiness\, emotional vulnerability\, and rabid energy. “When you focus on yourself and the people around you\, you can keep your side of the street clean\,” Bingham says. “And when I see the opposite of that\, I get kind of offended\, which is what a lot of these songs are about.” \nFrom the very first seconds of RUDE’s opening track “I’m an Anarchist”\, Spiritual Cramp make it clear what their side of the street is. The record is framed with the tuning of an FM dial and the voice of DJ Crash (played by percussionist Jose Luna)\, introducing Wild 87 Radio and the “San Francisco rude boy sound.” The fictitious radio station takes its name from the band’s original moniker prior to renaming themselves after a song by southern California rockers Christian Death\, and recurs on the album as a way to keep the band grounded in their SF roots. “My foundation is in San Francisco\, California\, and from there I can go anywhere and be who I am\,” Bingham says. The song that follows the radio intro similarly grounds listeners in the Spiritual Cramp musical language\, Bingham delivering tongue-in-cheek sloganeering (“I’m an anarchist\, so leave me alone”) over clap-along sunshine punk. \nWhile Spiritual Cramp have perfected their kaleidoscopic take on rock over nearly a decade\, the gleeful RUDE marks the start of a new era for the band. Bingham and bassist Mike Fenton have been the band’s constants in that time—not to mention having worked on other projects together prior—and wrote the majority of Spiritual Cramp’s songs on their own across a series of lineup changes. But after a seemingly endless tour in support of their self-titled 2023 debut\, their new lineup of Bingham\, Fenton\, percussionist Luna\, guitarists Nate Punty and Orville Neeley III\, and drummer Julian Smith gelled to the point that the co-founders decided to bring everyone into the room for the writing process. “It really helped give color and energy to the whole record\,” Fenton says. The results are nothing short of ecstatic\, bounding between new wave burn\, indie rock swagger\, old-school punk\, and even dub and hip-hop flourishes

SUMMARY:Daffo w/ earth 2 tiffany
DESCRIPTION:Daffo w/ earth 2 Tiffany \nDoors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nAn essential new voice on the indie-rock scene\, 21-year-old singer/songwriter Daffo brings an unexpected beauty to the most uncomfortable of feelings. With a poetic specificity that cuts right to the heart\, the Los Angeles-based artist speaks an unfiltered truth about all that sets them apart from the wider world\, confronting everything from shame and self-loathing to misplaced affection and the chaos of living with an overactive brain. Originally from the Philadelphia suburbs\, the musician otherwise known as Gabi Gamberg started writing songs after taking up guitar at age nine\, then later shaped their sound by playing countless DIY shows in backyards and basements in New York City and New Jersey. After spending much of the past year on tour with the likes of Sir Chloe and illuminati hotties\, Daffo now makes their full-length debut with Where the Earth Bends: a one-of-a-kind coming-of-age album that finds powerful catharsis in painful confession.

Months later they met at the Gilman Street Project in Berkeley\, California. They bonded\, talking about their love of hip-hop and punk rock\, over a bottle of Jameson. They didn’t know it yet\, but they had just started Codefendants. Impossible to define by traditional standards\, Codefendants were forged out of a desire to make an album that sounded like nothing else; a completely genre-fluid album\, a cross between hip hop\, new-wave\, flamenco\, and the Beatles. They call the genre ‘Crime Wave’.

SUMMARY:Wine Lips w/ Mr. Phylzzz and The Rosies
DESCRIPTION:Wine Lips w/ Mr. Phylzzz and The Rosies \nDoors 7:30 PM | Show 8:30 PM \nALL AGES \nat Grog Shop \nIt’s been one hell of a wild ride for Wine Lips. \nOriginally formed in Toronto back in 2015 as a part-time project between Cam Hilborn (vox\, songwriter\, guitar) and drummer extraordinaire Aurora Evans\, Wine Lips quickly escalated into a full-blown\, full-time\, full-on international phenomenon. Their debut album took them across North America followed immediately by an intensive and unexpected tour of Hong Kong and China in 2018. They released their massive “Stressor” album the very next year (2019) to rave reviews and massive critical acclaim. Multiple tracks from Stressor charted across North America and Europe radio\, while several songs ended up being featured in broadcast and Netflix series. Endless touring ensued. \nThen 2020 happened. The band used their mandatory downtime to fully dedicate themselves to crafting their groundbreaking third full-length “Mushroom Death Sex Bummer Party” (recorded by Simon Larochette at Sugar Shack). The record was released in October 2021 and then shit really hit the fan. The international music press lost their collective minds\, penning over 250 glowing features and super positive reviews spanning 35+ countries. At the time of writing\, the album is rapidly approaching 20 Million spins on Spotify alone. The vinyl release of MDSBP is currently in its 7th pressing with 9 different colour variants. The lead track “Eyes” has been licensed to a metric ton of films\, series and video games including ABC’s The Rookie\, Hockey Night In Canada and VR Skater. Even more endless touring ensued\, except this time the venues were huge and mostly sold-out. \nWhich brings us to the new record… “Super Mega Ultra” is an absolute beast. Recorded by Simon Larochette at The Sugar Shack in Ontario\, the album is jam-packed with 12 ramped-up supersonic ear-scorching auditor delicacies. SMU is probably Wine Lips’ most ambitious undertaking to date\, exploring new thematic territory while firmly maintaining their signature psych garage punk rock panache. You truly need to hear the album to believe it… And if you haven’t already guessed\, more endless touring is booked for 2024. The wild ride continues!

DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nA far cry from the cool\, calculated distance and reserved posture that is all-too-familiar to the indie-rock sphere\, Florry\, the Philly-bred septet and songwriting vehicle of bandleader Francie Medosch\, are marking their territory as a band resolving to do something very different: they are having a really good time out there. \nCutting her teeth in the Philadelphia DIY scene starting in 2019 as a student at Temple University\, the early days of Florry found Medosch at the end of her teenage years releasing a slew of singles and EP’s in a familiar idiom of lo-fi bedroom recordings tinged with country melancholy. A lot has changed since then. Most importantly\, perhaps\, the project snowballed into a barn-burning seven piece rock band in the proceeding years; and without sacrificing any of the emotional immediacy that’s come to define Medosch’s brashly earnest\, bleeding-heart lyrical style\, you’re unlikely to find her lingering as much on the melancholy these days. Or\, as Medosch plainly puts it in regards to Sounds Like… \, the band’s forthcoming LP: \n“The Jackass theme song was actually a really big influence on the new album” \nThe release of their 2023 formal full-length debut The Holey Bible (via Dear Life) found Medosch now flanked by six bandmates and trafficking in a wider\, more rock-oriented approach with the bravado of someone with a new lease on life. With Jon Cox (Sadurn\, Son of Barb) on pedal steel\, John Murray on electric guitar\, Colin Dennen on bass\, Will Henrikson on fiddle\, Katya Malison (Doll Spirit Vessel) on Vox\, and Joey Sullivan (Bark Culturr) on drums\, Florry 2.0 had arrived. The retooled seven-piece embraced a lengthy run of tours dialing in their new kinetic sound and freewheeling chemistry including runs with Fust\, MJ Lenderman\, Greg Freeman\, and Real Estate. Greeted to critical acclaim upon its release\, with positive notices from outlets including Pitchfork\, Stereogum\, Paste\, and Brooklyn Vegan\, the album quickly introduced Florry to an expanded audience and pointed a way forward for Medosch and the band at a time when the future wasn’t so clear. \n“I had a job lined up selling insurance\, I guess I figured that was that\, you know?” \nAs it turns out\, that was not that. A few days went by\, and then the phone started ringing. From managers\, from booking agents\, from indie-rock elder statesman Kurt Vile\, who took the band on the road in support of his 2023 Back to Moon Beach LP. \nOn the winkingly titled Sounds Like… \, the band’s second full-length release via Dear Life\, Florry is picking up right where they left off in 2023. Again upping the ante with a bigger\, brighter\, more abrasive sound that resembles something closer to Rolling Thunder Revue-era Bob Dylan than their humble DIY roots. Across ten tracks\, the band wear their influences on their sleeve while carving out a space that is distinctly their own\, blending raw honky-tonk grit and rich instrumental textures with the disarming sincerity and intimacy of the group’s lo-fi beginnings. It’s a record about searching—searching for home\, for love\, for meaning\, and for a sound that captures it all.

SUMMARY:Acid Mother's Temple w/ The Macks
DESCRIPTION:Doors 7 PM | Show 8 PM \nALL AGES \nFormed in 1995 by Makoto Kawabata at the same time as the Acid Mothers Temple Soul Collective. The group released its debut album in 1997 on PSF Records (Japan)\, and it was selected as one of the year’s best albums in the The Wire magazine (UK). In 1998 the group played their first tours of the US and Europe. Since then the group has released a huge number of albums on labels from many different countries. As of 2017\, the group has released around 80 albums. Every year since 1998\, they have toured extensively in the US and Europe\, and more recently have started performing around Asia and in Japan too. The group has performed in collaboration with many musicians including psychedelic originators Gong and Guru Guru\, Simeon (Silver Apples)\, Nik Turner (Hawkwind)\, and the Occitanian trad singer Rosina de Peira. Japanese collaborators have included Afrirampo\, Tatsuya Yoshida (Ruins)\, Maso Yamazaki (Masonna)\, Seiichi Yamamoto (Boredoms)\, Jun Kuriyama (The Ox)\, and many others. \nTo begin with the group had a floating line-up with contributions from many members of the AMT Soul Collective. But as tours became more frequent\, the group began to coalesce around a core touring line-up. Other bands were created with Acid Mothers Temple as part of their name (AMT & The Cosmic Inferno\, AMT SWR\, AMT & The Space Paranoid\, AMT & Infinity Rising Zero\, Acid Mothers Gong\, Acid Mothers Guru Guru\, Acid Moon Temple\, etc.)\, but AMT & The Melting Paraiso U.F.O. has continued to function as the mothership and main lineage for all our activities. \nIn 2016\, twenty one years since the group’s founding\, there was a major shift in the line-up and “Next Generation” was added to the name. We now view the first twenty years as chapter one in our story\, and we are now turning the page to start chapter two. The group played more than 100 shows in each year\, toured in Europe\, North America\, South America\, Oceania and Asia\, also Japan. They also played many festivals (Glastonbury Festival in UK\, Levitation in US and France\, Rock In Opposition in France\, Standon Calling in UK\, Kuala Lumpur Experimental Film\, Video & Music Festival in Malaysia\, LUC fest 貴人散步音樂節 in Taiwan\, etc). \nDuring pandemic\, they launched their official Bandcamp\, have released more than 60 albums (including many unreleased materials)\, and have toured in Japan in each year. And they played the streaming festival “Levitation Sessions”. They organized “Acid Mothers Olympic 2021” against “Tokyo Olympics 2021”\, they originated and played a new style of “music sports”. Finally the group went to the first European tour in Autumn 2022 and North American tour in Spring and Autumn 2023\, after pandemic. 2024\, the group will tour in Europe in Spring and North America in Autumn. \nThe current touring line-up is: Kawabata Makoto\, Higashi Hiroshi\, Satoshima Nani\, Sawano Shozo and Jyonson Tsu since 2022.
