A young and hungry five-piece group of multi-instrumentalists
who put on an explosive and high energy live show. They've spent
over 10 years as best friends creating music together and
combining a variety of their individual influences such as Jack
White, The Band, Sublime, Deer Tick and many others. Since 2012
they've been grinding independently performing over 200+ shows
and self-producing a debut EP & LP. They're back in the studio
this Summer 2016 to record a fresh EP with Bill Moriarty (Dr.
Dog, The Districts, Hoots n Hellmouth) in combination with an
online rebrand and their first national tour in 2017. There are
exciting things in the works for this family style band of

Flux Capacitor 9PM-MID
$5
Emerging from the Pennsylvania music scene, from the outskirts
of the City of Brotherly Love, is the phenom band known as Flux
Capacitor. Their fiery, distinct sound has catapulted the group
with lightning speed into the National Music Scene. This band of
brothers consistently inspire and evoke a new and wildly
addicting sound resonating with elements of rock, improvisation
and electronica. They redefine musicality with positive
prophetic vocals, complex guitar work, innovative
keys/synths/bass stylings, with feverish syncopated drum
rhythms. Flux Capacitor concerts are filled with improvisation,
musical segues, spontaneous covers, and teases creating a
unique, one of a kind experience at every performance. The
essence of the brothers music is fueled by their dedicated
practice of meditation and lucid dreaming which keeps them
fueled by a higher power. Their electric vibe transcends the
stage and extends into the crowd creating a magical musical
ambience. |

Backup Planet 8-11PM
Rock ‘n’ roll epitomizes escapism in its purest form. It’s not
just artistic anesthetization either, but rather a galvanizing
force that inspires us to keep pushing through life’s trials and
tribulations. That’s why we still listen to Led Zeppelin, Black
Sabbath, Pink Floyd, Rush, and countless others all these years
later. It’s the same reason audiences will be talking about
Backup Planet’s second full-length album, Reactions, for a long
time to come. The Nashville, TN quartet ... Ben Cooper [keys,
vocals], Chris Potocik [drums, vocals], Gavin Donati [guitar,
vocals], and Blake Gallant [bass, vocals] ... write arena-size
anthems echoing with progressive intricacy, funk swagger, and
even a little metallic edge. Giving listeners an inspiring and
invigorating aural haven, their moniker couldn’t be more
apropos. |
