Pleased to welcome Pageant back to Gas Hill Drinking Room on August 15, 2025, with special guests Sweet Desire! Doors at 7 PM, show at 8 PM. Tickets are on sale NOW at TheRamkat.com! Pageant is a 4-piece rock band based in High Point, NC. With Roxxi Dirt on bass and vocals, Dylan Dynasty on drums, Dezzy Foxx on lead guitar, and Cam Duke on rhythm guitar, Pageant carves out a new take on the classic sound of rock 'n' roll. Their music is inspired by rock legends such as Motley Crue, Guns N’ Roses, Aerosmith, and Cinderella, while also infusing a fresh and modern sound that defies genres. Pageant aspires to contribute to the new generation of rock and create a sound that is both unique and familiar, providing older audiences with nostalgia and younger ones with a breath of fresh air from most new music today. They pride themselves on delivering high-energy performances that are exciting, raw, and exhilarating every time. When Pageant plays, it’s not just a concert; it is a show. Formed in Altoona PA in 2021, Sweet Desire is a group of young, likeminded musicians dedicated to a revival of the sights, sounds, and experiences of a forgotten era of pop culture. Inspired by the sounds of the West Coast, British Blues, Psychedelic Pop, Folk and Country, Sweet Desire are a part of a sweeping resurgence in popular music and culture returning to ears and eyes of all ages. In early 2023 the band recorded their first single in Plymouth Michigan with Jimmie Bones of Kid Rock. Through this connection they had the opportunity to open for The Steve Miller Band in Detroit, and have since played with Quiet Riot, and Sponge. As of June 14th 2025, the band has released their debut album and are on the road playing shows across the east coast, so catch the jet stream, hitch a ride, and see for yourself a piece of the modern day countercultural movement. #pageant #sweetdesire #gashilldrinkingroom #wsnc #supportlivemusic
