+Nice Strong Arm- FIRST NYC SHOW in over 30 years!!! One of the original proponents of the "Homestead" sound, Nice Strong Arm quickly found comparison with the likes of Live Skull and Sonic Youth.  Their work was characterized by swirling dirges with heavy guitars. They grew in  sophistication during their career, producing dense walls of sound which verged on art rock territory. The band reunites with a string of Northeast shows.

+Phantom Tollbooth- Following a successful reunion at the DromFest festival last year, Phantom Tollbooth have been active with new shows AND new material. Founding guitar/bass duo Dave Rick and Gerard Smith have recruited Paul Andrew on the drums since 2025 and they are killing it! They even debuted a few new tracks that sound like 1988 all over again - amazing!

+Flower- Post-punk noise/pop band from NYC formed in1986 featuring later members of Versus, French, and Cell. Flower was a staple of the NYC underground scene carved out by Sonic Youth, Live Skull, Swans, etc, utilizing the noise elements of the aforementioned artists to deepen the textures of more classically oriented pop/rock songs. They continue to perform and record today.
