**CDSM**  
As the sun sets on an ever-heating planet, strange synthesizers converse in the distance, punctured by disco rhythms and interjected by saxophone growls, akin to a jukebox of divine sadistic temptations, oozing goth rock-esque melodies that forever haunt you… You have just been exposed to the groovy sonic onslaught of CSDM, a collective based in Atlanta (GA) that features current and former members of alternative outfits: Material Girls, Neighbor Lady, Mothers and Rose Hotel. Their first EP, Hell Stairs (April 29th, 2022 via Mothland & Exag), is both glamorous and bleak, swanky and derelict, uplifting and crushing. It’s hedonism clinking in your glass, change jingling in the pit of your chest. For fans of Viagra Boys, The Voidz, Total Control, Bodega or Fat White Family.

This is a 21+ event.

"The best there is, the best there was, the best there ever will be" - Bret Hart

Washer

"Washer is a rock band originally from Brooklyn, NY featuring Mike Quigley on guitar/bass/vocals and Kieran McShane on drums. Since forming in the late months of 2013, the duo have become a staple of the local DIY scene, another hard working band playing countless shows throughout the eastern and central US. They've garnered a strong reputation in that time thanks to the band’s scrappy energy and infectious indie leaning garage punk anthems.

Lady Pills

Lady Pills is the project of Providence-based Ella Boissonnault. The music combines elements of 90's indie and grunge with a more modern pop twist to create a driving and honest sound. Her most recent record, What I Want, was released February of 2022 via Plastic Miracles. The record was featured in The Boston Globe, WBUR, MTV, and New Noise Magazine. This year, she was nominated for 2 Boston Music Awards: Album of the Year and Alternative/Indie Artist of the Year.

Rick Rude

Out of speakers came noise and out of noise came RICK RUDE. A four-membered creature whose tattered robe, four-string guitar, and sand-filled shoes are surrounded by a haze of sweet smoke and empty beer cans, thrashes about with a charismatic enthusiasm matched only by its lethargic demeanor, speaking fluently in the cryptic languages of dreams, love, and ennui.

**//// Certain Death  
/// Gloin  
// Fat Trout Trailer Park  
  
Certain Death  
**Certain Death is a love letter to an era of amp towers, flashy guitars, long hair, and polyester department store suits. Born in the darkest depths of the pandemic in mid-2020, the band was simply an outlet for lead singer and guitar player Henry Black to express individual loss at a time of generational trauma and disarray. In the summer of 2021, he recruited long time collaborators Crispin Swank (Guitar), and CJ Young (Drums), along with Nico Astudillo (Bass), and began performing the songs he had written during his own period of isolation. Today Certain Death’s stage show has the earned expectations of gratuitous guitar harmonies, dueling guitar solos, and over-the-top outfits to go along with a front line of matching guitars and basses. In 2023, Certain Death will be releasing and recording new music as fast as they can print to tape and send off.

**Gloin  
**Gloin is a four-piece noise rock group from Toronto, Canada, known for their cathartic live sets and eclectic songwriting. Through bombastic rhythmic constructs, savvy arrangements and fervid melodies, their music spreads much like a tidal wave, positively and thoroughly flooding bystanding eardrums, the result of sheer entropic force harnessed through a “wall-of-sound Maelstrom” (Exclaim!) that is all at once jagged and sinuous.

**//// Blue Ranger**  
**/// Jake Klar**  
**// Margaux**

**Blue Ranger**

Upstate NY based band Blue Ranger are here to remind us that there are small moments of magic in the everyday. Formed in 2015, the trio have been crafting soft-focused folk that celebrates the beauty in our uncertainties with an existential flair. Following their 2018 LP Saving A Beauty (Five Kill Records) comes a fresh single - True Blue - where candid, autobiographical tales dance among a wealth of imaginary characters. The trio brings their propulsive folk influenced sound to improvisatory heights in live settings - the product of countless years moving sound.

**Jake Klar**

Jake Klar is an artist based in Turners Falls, MA. His songs showcase an ongoing collection of life’s lyric moments, both the eccentric and the daily. Klar rides on the Americana tradition of storytelling in his work, while bringing in the edge of modern folk/rock-inspired arrangements. His latest release, Witness, is a follow-up to his acclaimed 2020 collection of songs, Masquerade. Whether Klar is playing solo or with his band - you will leave his shows with his crooning voice and the poetry of his lyrics ringing through your head.

**//// Big Bliss  
/// Russian Baths  
// Sky Creature**

**Big Bliss**  
Big Bliss is the Brooklyn-based brainchild of brothers Cory and Tim Race, and friend/collaborator Wallace May. Formed in late 2015, the trio melds harmonic post punk grooves with art rock sensibilities all propped up on the pillars and hooks of pop structure. Their sound is at once melancholic, tense, noisy, and ultimately uplifting, laced with lyricism that ruminates on anxiety, grief, addiction, recovery, devotion, and heartache.

**Russian Baths**  
Russian Baths fuse the abrasive sounds of ‘80s New York, the angular outbursts of DC hardcore, shoegaze’s torrents of noise and the suffocating anxiety of the Information Age. One part horror movie soundtrack, serene still life and personal confession, the band’s music is at once imposing and intimate. As with their namesake, Russian Baths’ work is a place where hidden things happen, sometimes beautiful, sometimes tragic, always obscured, but calling to be explored.

**Sky Creature**  
Sky Creature is vocalist Majel Connery and baritone guitarist Matt Walsh. Occupying a space between art music and punk rock, the band's sound elicits comparisons with artists from Kate Bush to Suicide. Walsh toured for over a decade as one half of acclaimed post-punk duo The Forms, sharing the stage with artists ranging from The National to St. Vincent to Hum. Connery’s solo music has been featured on Radiolab, New Sounds radio, and Live from the Kennedy Center.

**////Spirit Ghost  
///Petite League  
//Big Dumb Baby**

**Spirit Ghost**  
Spirit Ghost is the musical moniker of Alex Whitelaw. It was started as a bedroom-surf-garage project outside of Providence, RI, and was fully developed and fleshed out in Western Massachusetts and Austin, TX. The project was started out of a frustration of being at the whims of other people in order to make music. Whitelaw draws from a wide pool of influences from 60's garage and psyche rock to bossa nova and country.

**Petite League**  
Lorenzo Gillis Cook, songwriter and composer, along with drummer Henry Schoonmaker, came out of the gates swinging with their signature infectious lo-fi power pop releasing their two first records before graduating from college that same year. Petite League’s melodic sun kissed brand of indie rock started the buzz right away with some immediate industry, streaming, and publication recognition which helped propel the band forward from the jump. The band continued to shape itself into a staple of the New York indie rock scene after enlisting the help of other ex-Scarier Dome residents Adam Greenberg and Kevin McCallum as part of the live band.

**Big Dumb Baby**  
BIG DUMB BABY is an actor turned singer/songwriter from Nashville, TN, now living in Brooklyn, NY. A sound described as "Shania Twain meets Pavement"-- She melds her love of 90s indie-rock with influence from her southern roots to create a distinctive and unfussy songwriting style that's uniquely her own.

**////Bard's Flying Vessel  
///Heat Death  
//Peter Is Dead**  
  
**Bard's Flying Vessel**  
Out of the forest and onto the dusty plains, Nightfall Generator, the newest EP from the lads of Bard’s Flying Vessel, has a vast, natural sound – like a tequila sunset dipping behind a big ass mesa. Inspired by trips to the Moab Desert and Sergio Leone Westerns, the Brooklyn-based quintet mix twangy guitar riffs with gentle driving percussion, blending the whole trip together with their always dreamlike harmonies. If BFV I called to mind images of wood elves and sorcery, Nightfall Generator is a wind chime twinkling behind a Conestoga wagon. Throw another log on the fire, my friends…the night is not over yet…

**Zenizen**

“This record is a representation of everything that has led me to this point. It’s been a long, bizarre path,” says Zenizen’s Opal Hoyt of her journey to make this record. P.O.C (Proof of Concept) follows a linear narrative: Like Peter and the Wolf, the Russian symphony Hoyt uses as a creative framework, the record cycles through the seasons. We hear abstracted notes of spring, summer, fall, and winter.

The result is a deeply immersive album that is the culmination of hard work and vision stitched together by an all star cast of musicians. Variegated bass parts played by Jonathan Maron (Maxwell, Erykah Badu, D’Angelo), moments of magic on horns by Sly 5th Ave (Prince, Ghost Note), intricate mixing by Nick Herrera (Hiatus Kaiyote), with Scott Anthony helming the mastering. Then there’s Hoyt herself, whose singular, rich alto pierces through with poetic lyricism. Hoyt also plays Rhodes, synths, and arranged the record’s samples (think: whale calls, babbling brooks, chirping birds, and rainwater). P.O.C (Proof of Concept) is a record that blooms in beauty over time—the kind of record that you can take anywhere in any season.

**Atsuko Chiba**  
Montreal’s Atsuko Chiba venturesomely crosses genre-defining borders with a cohesive and hypnotic blend of post-rock, progressive rock, and krautrock, weaving together a rich sonic tapestry that subverts through offbeat songwriting. The psychedelic armada is back with Water, It Feels Like It’s Growing (January 20th, 2023 via Mothland), unearthing a fierce collection of droney, yet bombastic compositions that should please fans of The Mars Volta, Beak> or Spirit of the Beehive.
