Record release show for Kingston's own OPEN HEAD. Their new record WHAT IS SUCCESS will be released on Wharf Cat records. Open Head is a 4 piece experimental ensemble from Kingston, New York. With a taste for the concrete and the spectral, their new album 'What Is Success' sources beauty in brutalist architecture, holography, and the remnants of industrialism that ornament the Hudson Valley landscape. The result is expansive, stratospheric in volume, and brutally material in its punctuation and delivery. Drawing on New York no-wave and the avant-garde history of punk, noise, hip-hop and electronic music, Open Head presents a sound that is itself a landscape–immediate, colossal, ruined and essential.

Supporting O.H. will be two of the Hudson Valley's very best. King In Yellow and Overheard. Our pal DJ Rhonda keeps the party going all night. Support the locals yall!

Matthew O’Neill is a musician based in the Catskill mountains. His practice is rooted in global Indigenous ways of experiencing and participating in community through sound. Believing in the central role of music in nurturing resilience and innovation and maintaining a harmonious relationship with Mother Earth and the Cosmos - Matthew is committed to making work that honours timeless wisdom.

Working over decades with world class musicians, his music comes to life through dynamic collaboration, fuelled by a connection to living systems. Matthew’s work is guided by gratitude and seeks to be an act of reciprocity, honouring ancient instructions for creation.

Viewing the world through a non-human centric narrative, he seeks kinship with non-human relatives and speaks out against injustice, binding all together with the medicine of humour and playfulness. His songwriting acknowledges the interconnectedness of all things and journeys through states of gratitude, joy, suffering, celebration and loss, acknowledging the beauty of human complexity and vulnerability within the web of life.

With a background in musical ethnography, soundscape ecology, history and wisdom traditions, his work is rooted in deep study and balanced by a practice of intuitive creation. Ultimately he seeks to decolonize and re-indigenize music, inspiring others to connect with their own ancestral roots.

EARLY SHOW! DOORS 5 / READING 6
So, What Do You Think? returns with the Hudson Valley legend himself Joe McPhee. Join us as we celebrate a new book about the life and musical journey of Joe. Straight Up Without Wings is out now. There will be a reading and conversation followed by a jam from the Joe McPhee/Joe Giardullo Duo. YES!!

Copy and Pasted Text from Clifford Allen
”I write to you this the morning after finishing Straight Up Without Wings: The Musical Flight of Joe McPhee, the multi-instrumentalist and improviser's 166 page memoir, out now in paperback from Corbett vs. Dempsey. On any one of his instruments McPhee is a narrator though his "chapters" often feel oblique or surreal, as grounded as they are in the raw materials of life, experience, and sound. As a memoir, Straight Up Without Wings moves laterally, much like the PO music concept that has been a part of his compositional approach for decades, or the Deep Listening of his friend and collaborator Pauline Oliveros –– in print, stories may have asides or repeat for emphasis, or burrow into an odd corner that you never expected to end up in. McPhee's stories are real and the context they generate is utterly unique. It is a fascinating read and I hope you pick up a copy.

Therefore it gives me great pleasure to announce that on February 16, 2025 at 5 pm (early start!) Joe McPhee, co-author Mike Faloon, and myself will be in conversation at Tubby's –– I hope Joe will also read some from the book, because to hear Joe recite anything is a treat in itself. After that, McPhee and saxophonist/longtime musical partner Joe Giardullo will play duo improvisations. It will be an extraordinary celebration of Joe's life and work in the Hudson Valley and beyond.

Tickets are available online for $18 or at the door for $20. “

“a soundtrack of tropicaliá, motorik, and library music” — pitchfork

“one of the more true inheritors of the mantle of stereolab to emerge in some time” — aquarium drunkard

Rose Main Reading Room, the fourth full length by Peel Dream Magazine, is a lush, inviting headphones record; the kind of album made to accompany city bus rides and rainy-day solo trips to accidental destinations. The band, whose name nods to the BBC Radio 1 legend John Peel — arbiter of all things underground, quality, and (it must be said) “cool” — has since its inception been a genre-hopping experiment, jumping from motorik krautrock to shoegaze and space age pop, and their newest work is a perfect starting point for the uninitiated, beckoning toward a newfound romance and nostalgia with their catchiest collection of songs to date.

Born in Lima, Peru and based in NYC, Maria Chávez is best known as an abstract turntablist, sound artist and DJ. Coincidence, chance and failures are themes that unite her work across mediums, including improvised performance, sound and marble sculpture, visual art, book objects and an extensive history with multi-channel installation. Her approach is rooted in Deep Listening, a form of embodied listening developed by her late mentor Pauline Oliveros.

Maria is the only abstract turntablist in the world who performs with a rare needle known as the RAKE Double Needle. This special device contains two needles on one head, allowing it to read two different segments of a single record at the same time. Paired with her inimitable ability to create unforgettable sonic experiences from shards of broken records, each performance is truly unique.

Joanna Mattrey is a NYC/Dublin based violist, composer, improviser, and multimedia artist, whose works blend installation, video, sound, and movement, and are often site-specific. Her compositions use multimedia elements to create visual and sonic environments that convey the themes of transformation, memory, politics, social connection, loss, and spiritual journeys.

Scream is an American hardcore punk band from Washington, DC that formed in 1979 within the vanguard of the Washington DC hardcore explosion. Known for their incendiary live performances – an urgent mix of punk and rock-and-roll swagger – the original lineup is vocalist Pete Stahl, guitarist Franz Stahl, bassist Enoch “Skeeter” Thompson, and drummer Kent Stacks.

Scream’s debut album, Still Screaming (1982), was the first LP on DC’s Dischord Records, followed by This Side Up in 1984. The band toured throughout the US and were one of the first US hardcore bands to tour Europe and the UK. In 1987, they released Banging the Drum, which was recorded at Southern Studios in London by John Loder. In 1988, No More Censorship was released on reggae label RAS Records. The album was the first to feature drummer Dave Grohl, who replaced Kent Stacks for both this album and Fumble, which was released on Dischord Records in 1993. Until now, the band’s most recent release was Complete Control Sessions in 2011. Scream’s newest album, DC Special, was released in the fall of 2023 on Dischord Records.

First east coast tour for Famous Mammals! 

FAMOUS MAMMALS (Oakland, CA)
"If the names Amber Sermeno, Andy Jordan & Stanley Martinez sound familiar, it's because they're in practically every band that matters from the SF/Bay area, A short list reads; Non Plus Temps, Children Maybe Later, Naked Roommate & not the least of which is Famous Mammals. Following a self-released cassette, 'Instant Pop Expressionism Now!' is their 1st full length vinyl effort & man is it a doozy. On their debut tape the seeds were sown for what has blossomed on this LP as a fully pollinated orchard of hybridized post punk that seemingly harkens back to the halcyon days when Rough Trade called 202 Kensington Park Road home. "Instant Pop Expressionism Now!" is an ultramodern polyglot of smatterings that at once sound familiar, but you can't quite place it. Swell Maps? Happy Refugees? Monochrome Set? Maybe. Kinda. It's in the stitching, but the design & thrust is all Famous Mammals.” - Siltbreeze

"Famous Mammals were already going to be fantastic the moment they decided to form as a pandemic avocation in 2020, considering they’d been birthed from the flames of recent Oakland, CA scene-definers Rays, The World and Andy Human & The Reptoids. Yet when their wonderfully sharp & confounding self-titled tape came out in 2021, they were better than that, even. Their initial sound clicked along, searched and then found oblique treasure in a deep DIY post-punk void one might associate with 39 Clocks or the Swell Maps - sometimes aggressively sharp and pointed, other times given to captivating and off-centered murky quaalude meandering in all the ways you love.” - Jay Hinman (Dynamite Hemorrhage) 
THE SPATULAS (Cambridge MA)
“The Spatulas churn out uneasy jangle pop straight from the garage — or, more literally, the storage unit where the band met to play and beat back their pandemic frustrations. Their sound is built on blunt yet psychedelic melodies, chopping guitar, and rhythms that lurch then steady themselves.” - Dusted
"The songs breathe in warmth and patience, they are immediate and sweet. And then they start to meander. The guitar skitters with the deliberate unpredictability of a wild animal. Parts repeat and reset with the obsessiveness of an anxious mind. The lyrics open doors to unexpected scenes of lovers, family, and violence. Think of the few songwriters who know they’re the only ones in the world who could write their songs. The ones who sing in the confidence that the song couldn’t exist without them: Peter Jefferies, Jenny Mae, Ron House, Heather Lewis. Jonathan Richman? Put Miranda Soileau-Pratt and the Spatulas on this list.” - Post Present Medium

Black Eyes formed in August of 2001 and the band’s first full-length arrived two years later via Dischord. Their shows were chaotic and often melted down into frenzied jam sessions. A second full-length, "Cough", came out in May of 2004. The album introduced saxophone to the mix and relied more heavily on improvisational and dub influences. The band broke up shortly before the album was released, but as of 2023 they are occasionally playing shows again.

Since the break up various members have continued to make music in a ton of groups including Mi Ami, Ital, Water Damage, Interplanetary Prophets, Earthen Sea, Expensive Shit and Marriage. I'm sure i've forgetten a few. From all accounts the shows are on fire, and I can't wait for this one.

Long celebrated as the frontwoman of Canadian post-punk outfit FRIGS and as a vocalist in Orville Peck’s band for the last 5 years, Salmena culminates her artistic evolution on Big Dog. Anchored by her commanding voice—alternately tender, raw, and defiant—the album traverses the terrain of vulnerability and connection, marking the arrival of an artist boldly coming into her own.

Big Dog’s sound hovers between worlds, it takes elements of hypnotic krautrock and shimmery shoegaze, opulent goth and pulsing darkwave, with a smearing of electronic textures for a sophisticated and often uncanny sound. Amidst this vast sonic landscape, Salmena’s potent lyrical imagery and vocals stand dead center, perfectly in focus.
