Haven’t seen us in a while? Have seen us and loved the new additions to the band?
We’ve been busy crafting a new sound with 2 new members of The Great Unknown.
Bethany Brooks and Carl Cheesman are now with us and bringing the band to a new
GIANT SOUND. The rolling and tumbling sound you’ve gotten to know is even bigger and
has more momentum! Johnny Brendas is a great place to come see us.

ALSO Night Beds from Nashville will be lighting up the stage with big soaring harmonies and
fleet fox like arrangements that we’re excited to hear and present to our fans here in Philly.

See you there!
Todd, Matt, Bethany, Carl, Jordan

Come to Kensington to an awesome performance space/ motorcycle shop and see our movie about “So Strange and Loud” our newest album just released digitally last week.

We will have home-brewed beer, a big projector, an old wooden parlor bar and an acoustic set of music to offer you on what will be a memorable thursday night.

The movie was made last winter by Temple Film student Jesse Kennedy, shot on beautiful 16mm film and offers a great look at a band making an album in the old fashioned way, on tape, in the woods living together until the album is done.

See you there!
