This freakish foursome lives and breathes their music. They've built a reputation as one of the most outrageous musical acts not only in the Philly area, but across the US. Their over the top live show is one that not only stands out amongst the rest, but sets new standards when it comes to pure raw energy live acts. With songs like the underground anthem, "King Of The Drag Queens", it just goes to show that these guys have the tunes to back up their Rock N' Roll lifestyle. Their tunes are catchy, edgy, hard hitting, and at the same time, radio friendly. Dressed to kill with their signature makeup, and outlandish (often imitated) style, these heavy rockers continuously pack clubs in the Philadelphia area.

Opening Act: None Listed

Kid Sister is a tongue-in-cheek throwback to the first golden age of hip-hop, when it seemed like anyone, even your kid sister, could have a hit. She was born Melissa Young in 1980 and raised in the Chicago suburb of Markham, IL. Kid Sister grew up interested in musical theater, but did not pursue a career in music until after she graduated from college. Encouraged by the burgeoning career of her younger brother Josh Young, also known as J2K of the Chicago DJ duo Flosstradamus, Young adopted the name and persona of Kid Sister in early 2006; with J2K as her DJ and producer, Kid Sister debuted with the giddy single "Pro Nails," which became popular enough as a digital download that Kanye West included a remix with his own guest verse on his summer 2007 mixtape Can't Tell Me Nothing. That connection happened when Young began dating West's DJ, A-Trak (Alain Macklovitch), who also signed Kid Sister to his label, Fools Gold Records. She'll make you travel back through time during her show.

North Star Bar:
Headliner: Heartless Bastards
Opening Act: The Builders and The Butchers / Peter Wolf Crier
Doors: 8:30pm / Show: 9pm
Tix:$16
Rolling Stone reviewed their debut album, "Stairs and Elevators" and stated that “the Heartless Bastards are a small-town band who are ready to show the big city no mercy”. The Village Voice proclaimed: “deadeye accurate in pitch and message… what we’ve got is a hard, gnarled voice singing simple-seeming melodies that feel archetypal rather than ordinary, which is no easier to explain than it is to do”. Erika Wennerstrom and her two band mates have created more rocking songs and fat hooks than most bands can dream of. It’s not just that they rock, it’s that you believe what you hear, that they love the sound they make. Wennerstrom lays her soul bare in her lyrics without sounding like Sarah McLachlan. GET IN!!
Sharing the billing together are two bands that are no strangers to the music scene of South New Jersey and Philadelphia. First off, DIVE is a straightforward band of aggressive and melodic rock that compares to the sounds of Three Days Grace, Hoobastank and Fuel. They are signed with Phase One Communications/Mad Rock Music. DIVE consistently delivers a tight and energetic live show, going all out and leaving the audience screaming for more. Automatic Fire are a 4 piece American Rock band hailing from Philly. The band was founded in 2009 by Walt Lafty (vocals) and Brian Weaver (bass) alongside Robbie Bennett (guitars) and Brian Kilian (drums).

Tix:$29.50, $53.50
Squeeze is an English band that came to prominence in the United Kingdom during the New Wave period of the late 1970s, and continued recording successfully in the 1980s and 1990s. Cheap Trick is an American rock band from Rockford, Illinois, formed in 1974. They give fans a night to enjoy U.S. Hit-Makers & U.K. Chart Toppers together for a Night of Classic Rock & Pop Favorites. Cheap Trick may be one of the most covered bands of all time with timeless classics such as "I Want You to Want Me," "Surrender," and the late 80s lighter-waving favorite, "The Flame," Cheap Trick is a musical institution.
In 1973, teenage friends Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook formed the band that earned them the nickname'The New Lennon and McCartney.' Over 35 years later, with their legacy intact, Chris Difford's lyrics and Glenn Tilbrook's music have survived everything from the ever-changing musical landscape to their own internal reshuffles and acrimonious breakups. As befits one of the UK's much-loved acts, there is no end of Squeeze fans currently wearing their influences firmly on their sleeve. With their fingerprints keenly felt throughout the fabric of popular music, it is only right that these songs, with their evergreen and popular sound, continue to be played and enjoyed live.
