Tickets $12. Adv. $15. At the door
Doors 7:30 pm showtime 8:30pm
New York multi-cultural genre-bending duo, Frenchy and the Punk (New York) is made up of hardcore punk veteran guitarist Scott Helland (bassist of Deep Wound - with J Mascis and Lou Barlow, Outpatients) and French-born singer/percussionist Samantha Stephenson.

The Men That Will Not Be Blamed For Nothing hail from London, UK. They sing loud punk rock songs about the Victorian era, and have been gleefully rubbing the face of present day Britain in the rotten corpse of its past since 2008, in the hope that it will learn from its mistakes (it hasn’t). “Corusatingly loud and extremely funny” - The Guardian / “If you are drawn into their world, you will appreciate how special TMTWNBBFN are.” - Uber Rock / “Probably the maddest, most original punk band around”- Louder Than War /

About The Event
In the midst of traveling the world with Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness supporting the hit self-titled LP and RIAA-certified Gold single "Cecilia and the Satellite," Zac Clark has toured with Billy Joel to Weezer as well as appearing on the Today Show and Conan. Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Zac Clark has released two solo records, 2015's "I Am a Guest" and 2012's "Young Volcanoes," as well as the 2014 single "Wake Up," the theme song for Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's TNT show "Wake Up Call.” A sold out 45 date full US tour opening for Andrew McMahon and Allen Stone, along with bandmate Bob Oxblood, kicks off 2018, with a new LP co-produced by Joe Pisapia (Guster, Ben Folds Five) to follow in the summer along with a full band tour including members of Jack's Mannequin, John Legend and Ben Folds.
Brooklyn-based singer/songwriter Bob Oxblood combines classical finger picking with synthetic textures and melancholic, longing vocals. Having spent earlier years providing electric tones with Orange County power pop outfits Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate as well as crossing the US as a touring guitarist with the likes of John Legend, Oxblood has been crafting his solo work in studios and on stages in New York and Los Angeles for the past few years
J. Russell and the Split Coils are the current brain child of songwriter/ multi instrumentalist J.Russell (Hot Rod Circuit, Diamond J and the Rough). Joined by his wife Katelyn Russell on percussion and harmony, Joseph Ballaro on Bass guitar and Jon Scerbo on Drums. The songs (it's all about the songs) are a straight forward mix of Rock and Roll, Soul and Country. Independently recorded and produced at home.
