BIO’S

Our Headlining act RUN JACKIE RUN happens to be the 914’s finest Misfits cover band, featuring The Bump, Polish John, Stellraiser, and Mattzig!

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 Lost Creek Creative, X-Man, Method Mike A, and Mummies on Main Street!
