BIO’S

Our HEADLINERS RUN JACKIE RUN happen to be the 914’s finest Misfits cover band, featuring The Bump (bass), Polish John (guitar, keys), Stellraiser (drums), and Mattzig (vox)!

DEAD ON A FRIDAY is a three piece punk rock outfit from Queens, NY, founded by vocalist/bassist Dave Fox and featuring a current line up of Senator Carl Williams on guitar and Mark Rosen on drums. Combining the speed and melody of West Coast punk with an East Coast attitude, Dead On A Friday has performed at all of the notable clubs in New York, including the legendary CBGB’s, The Knitting Factory, The Continental, Arlene’s Grocery, and The Bitter End. They were also featured in the Fest 15 lineup and have provided tour support for A Wilhelm Scream, The Vibrators, Set Your Goals, The Independents, and many others. Their third full length album entitled Limited Time Offer was released in September 2023.

Inspired by the grit & grime of legnedary Detroit growler John Brannon (Negative Approach, Laughing Hyenas, Easy Action), combined with the spooky deathrock of horror punk legend Glenn Danzig’s Samhain, FIENDS OF ROCK & ROLL will be playing their first gig, special for the evening, featuring Dr. Chur (axe), X-Man (skins), Monster Mike (boneyard bass), and Timm Grimm (lungs)!

CITIZEN SUZIE Citizen Suzie is a woman-owned retailer of Vintage Clothing, Costumes and Accessories serving the greater New York metropolitan area. Traveling pop-ups are seasonal and curated especially for witches, vamps, goths, misfits + fallen angels. All garments are sourced sustainably, and handpicked with attention to current and retro trends.

Punk rock meets the Beatles! Psychobilly meets Motown! BOBCAT is a one-man band like no other. Drawing inspiration from the likes of garage rock, soul music, power-pop, rhythm and blues, rockabilly, punk rock, psychobilly, new wave and indie rock, this one-man band takes the notion one step further with ornate arrangements with minimal accompaniment.
