*All events are 21+ valid ID required for entry* 8 PM – Doors 9 PM – Show TJ KONG AND THE ATOMIC BOMB Idiots manufacturing joy and dancing out the door. More Specifically… “Eclectic and evocative, stirring together dusty cinematic arrangements with lyrical tales of depravity and hard-luck humanity that sound like something out of a Cormac McCarthy novel.” – WXPN “Playing Americana ‘slash blues’, they sing, wail, lament, and brood over being drunk, hungover, alone, depressed, sweaty, and lost. A simple recount of a whiskey-inspired tradition on guitar and harmonica.” – Pop Montreal “One of the most sought after bands in Philly.” – USA Today “It lands somewhere between The Basement Tapes and Anodyne, with a ragged, lo-fi aesthetic and lyrics drenched in heartbreak and whiskey.” – Pop Matters SQUAWK BROTHERS Formed by the members of Philly indie rock bands The Teeth/Purples in order to explore a country-influenced aesthetic. As the scope of the band evolved, the members finally grew tired of the “four dudes” template and have blossomed into a six-piece harmonic family with the addition of Eliza Becker and Nakita Beauregard. The newer members have thus far raised no objection to keeping the name as it is. MANDY VALENTINE Mandy Valentine is a Philadelphia-based 6-piece country western rock & roll band. Fun, energetic, and described by WXPN as ‘playful yeehaws’, the Mandies play originals and covers in the style of Elvis, Dolly, The Beatles, and 60s girl groups. The Mandies are led by Missy Pidgeon on guitar & vocals, joined by Abbey Heier and Delaney Keefe on backing vocals & percussion. Freddie Randall III brings his country guitar, with PSU ’13 alum Jay Johnson on bass and Mattie ‘Kimi’ Klauser on drums. New singles No Good, Play Pretend, and New Jersey follow their 2025 debut record, Gone West.
