WET SPOT @ PARKSIDE
Stepneck met on Lex (an app for queer lovers & friends) in fall 2021! Their genre is affectionately know by us as queer, dance, pirate, rock—— and THAT is the best descriptor for it. They are passionate about queer, black, poc, and all marginalized genders feeling seen & heard wherever we are.
Canvas Collective is an alt pop-rock band based out of Brooklyn, New York. The band consists of Mandy Kessler on vocals/synth, Kris Wong on guitar, and Violet Sepe on bass. They are proud to write and release songs that are personal to them, with lyrical topics such as mental health, interpersonal struggles, and their trans identity. They are currently playing shows in Brooklyn and working on an album that is heavily influenced by electronic music, combining that type of sound with guitar, bass and singing/screaming.
Funeral Doors Through cheeky lyrics and uncompromising ethos, New Jersey’s Funeral Doors has made waves across the tri-state area. Cultivating an energetic mix of queercore and midwest emo influence, the band draws on their queer and trans experience to craft a scrappy and vulnerable sound. With the release of their sophomore EP coming in 2024 the group is fervently gigging in preparation.

Hosted by Centuries' Old Vampyres Madame Tsarina Magdalena Hellfire and Monsieur Stanley Roy. Featuring Brooklyn bred bombshell and patron saint of multiple orgasms Queerly Femmetastic!
Also, we will be inviting in the Internationally recognized & ghoulishly demented Vinsantos! A gender careless boulevardier will arrest you with their post-punk/post-pueer cabaret noir performances.

Deep Listening 3: Phong Tran, Jess Tsang, Vines
Deep Listening III
Kevin Kenkel’s electronic and experimental live music series
Doors 7pm
JESS TSANG: "sound shadows are everywhere. magnified by the acoustic resonators of concert bass drums in conjunction with electronic amplification, objects sing and shiver, awakened by a sonic environment both volatile and sympathetic."
VINES: "Vines is the solo project of composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist Cassie Wieland. Praised by The New York Times as “sweetly shimmering,” Vines masterfully experiments with intimate ambient and experimental pop sound worlds to achieve the massive and hand-made vibe she is often searching for."
PHONG TRAN: "Phong Tran is a Brooklyn-based composer and visual artist primarily working in digital and electronic mediums. His work revolves around emotions and experience in nonphysical spaces. His most recent album, The Computer Room was released on November 19, 2021 through New Amsterdam Records. The album is a “thank you” to the virtual worlds, video games, message boards, and online communities of people he grew up with in the early 2000s."
