Cigarettes for Breakfast

The Asteroid No 4, Mahogany, and Cigarettes for Breakfast at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia, PA on May 8th. 7PM - Doors 8PM - Show 21+ THE ASTEROID NO. 4 The Asteroid No.4 is an American shoegaze, dream pop and psychedelic band based in Northern California. Originally formed in Philadelphia in the late 1990s, the A4 have remained an active studio and live act, and are considered to be stalwarts of the modern “psych” genre. Known for their prolific discography of reverb-drenched recordings and guitar driven, liquid-projected live performances, the band is often categorized as “neo-psychedelic” or “shoegaze”. Happily accepting their often made comparisons to acts like Ride, Spacemen 3 or “Paisley Underground’s”, The Rain Parade; the band have evolved into a sound all their own. In the spring of 2022, the Asteroid No.4 released their 11th full length LP, “Tones of the Sparrow” on London label specializing in “nugaze” acts, Club AC30. European and US tours followed including support for Slowdive, The Ocean Blue, and several shows opening for the Brian Jonestown Massacre. In January of 2024 a new 5-song EP was released on Chris Robinson of the Black Crowes label, Silver Arrow Records, as they finalized the recording of what will be their 12th full length, slated for release in summer, 2024. MAHOGANY Mahogany incorporates elements of post-punk, psych, disco, classical + electronica into futuristic, architectural, symphonic compositions. Collaborators Andrew Prinz and Jaclyn Slimm interweave vocals, dual 12-string guitars, drum machines, samplers, and modular synthesis with live MIDI sequencing — performed and mixed in stereo for a cumulative effect known as the ‘hypercube.’ CIGARETTES FOR BREAKFAST Cigarettes for Breakfast is a shoegaze band that defies expectations, blending swirling melodies, intricate guitar work, and emotive vocals to create a sound that ranges from hauntingly beautiful to aggressive and noisy. Founded in 2019 by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Matt Whiteford, Cigarettes for Breakfast quickly established themselves as a force to be reckoned with in the shoegaze scene, crafting music that is both atmospheric and emotionally resonant. + DJ Larry Byrds Spinning throughout the night
