Listen with us this Saturday as we host Sound Affects, our sound and music sharing event. * 6-9PM (with a casual hang after) * Bring a few tracks on CD, vinyl, tape or a USB stick to share * $10 suggested donation to keep us moving forward * Our new tote bags available for purchase This is an active listening environment where reception, reflection and response to what we hear and share is encouraged. Similar to that of a movie theater, there is no conversation during music playback. We hope to foster a collective listening experience which provides openness and contemplation. Conversation is of course welcomed in between tracks and during intermission. Flyer design by @dominiq.xyz

Saturday March 28th at piccolo The return of Philadelphia's LXV. Longstanding and evolving project by Dave Sutton weaves a fabric between ethereal bliss and dis-harmonic confusion. LXV's discography is a long, rewarding journey that you might not wish to come back from. One of my all time favs. Sharpen yr spurs and giddy up. Dreadful, fluctuating modes of ominous warning. Zach Rowden's prolific musical practice is tireless. He's contributed to numerous collaborations and is a founding member of the mighty Tongue Depressor. Both out-of-town acts are on tour and will be supported by: Bittersweet. Inward, melancholic, affecting, harmony and texture by Muggs Fogarty and Will Farrell. Jesse Kaminsky. Solo field recording and binaural disorientation treads into deep waters, reflecting further below into an existential abyss. Bar will be provided by piccolo, please no byob 🍷 💸 $10-$15 suggested donation 🔥 M U S I C 🔊

Tuesday, August 26th at piccolo (note: this event has been moved from lost bag to piccolo) a very FUN weeknight event for you! Elizabeth Davis is on vacation from Berlin! Her music has often been challenging to categorize, ranging from sound design, absurdist electronics, to techno adjacent dance. She’s released music as Wilted Woman, for over a decade, on labels such as Psychic Liberation, Alien Jams, Unifactor, and Plastic Bags. Her work is consistently evolving but always maintains underlying sense of playful surprise. Her newest album “There’s Always a Strawberry Hut” on the Italian digital label Superpang, completely rules! The long awaited return of Davey Harms! FKA World War, and Mincemeat or Tenspeed, Davey has been a longstanding veteran amongst the American underground noise circuit for an eternity. Constantly blasting his pals with buckets of unapologetically fun, mutated rhythm. He’s released music on labels like Decoherence and Hausu Mountain. Heavily brained electro funk via Sug and darkly immersive synth murk by Depravity Index will round out the local support. Tuesday night style… party with us then go to bed on time, feeling deeply amused! Bar will be provided by piccolo, please no byob 🍷 💸 $10-$15 suggested donation 🎈M U S I C 🔊
