Yarga and The Machine present a special showcase featuring Brutus VIII, Rinse and Repeat and Feudal, with local support from Rentboy. Doors 7, Show 7:30. $10 advanced, $15 day of service. Rinse &amp; Repeat is a project by two SoCal natives, Aaron Jones and Riley Greer. It was formed through their interest in punk rock, new wave, and other oddball music. The duo met while working as janitors at a major communications company, and soon after, Rinse &amp; Repeat was born.&nbsp;Their recordings take inspiration from the likes of DEVO, Oingo Boingo, and Dead Kennedys, blended with a heavy sample-based production style that will leave you finding new elements of their songs in every playthrough.Their live shows are high energy explosions of noise and stage antics that leave you on the edge of your seat, just waiting for more.&nbsp;Perhaps influenced by their time as custodians, the band uses imagery of viruses and sanitization to glue everything together. The duo even sold their own cleaning products at one point.Whether you are a germaphobe or not, Rinse &amp; Repeat is a fresh experience in today’s world of live music — something you won't want to miss.Brutus VIII (Slow Hollows, Current Joys) is the rejection of soft indie-rock band roots into no wave experimentation. With nihilistic lyrical overtones and jarring and oftentimes abrasive live performances the project is an exploration of how ridiculous machismo-ism is. In its most distilled form, Brutus VIII is a reflection of how society both stokes the flames of angry chauvinism and uses escapism to stave off the feelings of being trapped in a cycle of helplessness.Fuedal draws inspiration not only from the typical EBM/Industrial artists but also a healthy dose of 80s-inspired poptones and features Troy Woodhall’s sonic production prowess, percussive onslaughts and lyrical input combined with Matt Francini’s synth leads, basslines, and vocal melodies all drenched in reverberant psychedelic effects that blend genres and leave sonic stereotypes at the door.Rentboy Since 2016 Philadelphia artist Bobby Brown has been producing chameleonic pop under the name Rentboy. After his 2022 house-forward LP ‘Memory Forever’, his crew threw a multi-city series of gallery-hopping barn burners under the title Sexy Dance Punk Spring that culminated in the release of 2023's "Get Worse!”, an EP of sonically-distorted, diamond-flecked garage rock recalling late 2000s tumblr favorites like the Drums and Sleigh Bells.Brown sees his latest single "Real America" as a natural follow-up, the first in a series of singles heralding an aggressive, insistent approach to pushing through cool to something more fun and unafraid. To bring the single to life, Brown drew inspiration from award-winning poet and queer Philadelphia icon CAConrad's book "While Standing in Line for Death", hoping to “channel the frustration of being inevitably American by birth”, as he puts it, over a minimalist, insistent bassline that wouldn't sound out of place on an ESG song.
