95 BULLS are a Brooklyn/Queens-based band that blend garage-punk, psych, and synth into an electrifying sonic assault. An unapologetic blend of driving, fuzzed out guitar and searing-synth anxiety, weaving dark, evocative lyrics through anthemic vocals & dance floor melody. Portland club-goers will remember bassist/organist Oweinama Biu (of the Electric Mess & The Othermen) https://www.95bullsnyc.com/about
MAD PAINTER from the greater Boston area, is deeply rooted in the glam-tinged 70s rock'n'roll, a-la Mott The Hoople and The Faces, to epic heavy anthems in the vein of Uriah Heep. Anchored by the legendary Kenne Highland on bass (Gizmos, Hopelessly Obscure) Mad Painter is a fast rising group on the NE scene today. https://madpainter.co.uk/bio
TIGER BOMB Record release party with their 3rd LP, just out on Get Hip Records! The band seamlessly fuses a big, bold, and British sound, like the Who with a 60's garage-psych aesthetic, all wrapped up in tight harmonies and a rock-solid back-beat! https://tigerbomb2.bandcamp.com/album/15-super-hits
THE SPACKLES are one of Boston's coolest power trios, playing short, catchy tunes described as "prog-influenced proto-punk." We're not sure what that means, but it sure sounds fancy so we'll roll with it. There's no denying an early Bowie influence so you know this is gonna be a night to remember!! http://thespackles.com/
As if all this wasn't enough already, we have a surprise bonus added attraction!!
