Saturday, August 31st - Defiled presents GOD MODULE/Finite Automata/Absynthe of Faith
The Unsound Tour presented by Defiled
God Module [Seattle, WA] combines elements of harsh Techno, Darkwave, Goth and Industrial. Pounding beats mix with hypnotic synth hooks, deranged film samples and psychotically-effected vocals to make up a sound that is as disturbing as it is danceable.
Finite Automata [Atlanta, GA] is known regionally for their highly confrontational and controversial stage shows, which make heavy use of theatrics, makeup, stage props, sharp objects and various noise making devices
Absynthe Of Faith [Minneapolis, MN] mixes influences of German and US Industrial/EBM, along with aspects from other genres. In the last few years, AOF has developed their style both musically and visually. Currently they are working on releasing their first full album.
DJ sets by Defiled [Ann Arbor, MI]
Dj Graphite
Wraith
Visual projection by Remnant
Defiled is an industrial/aggrotech/EBM club night with monthly events in the Detroit area. Leave your inhibitions behind and dance with us in our dark nexus of horror and industrial

Fea wsg Pancho Villa's Skull
8 p.m. doors / 9 p.m. show
$6 cover
18+
Fea is the continued ferocity of Girl In A Coma’s Phanie Diaz and Jenn Alva, joined by lead vocalist Letty Martinez and guitarist Sofi. Their melodic brand of Riot Grrrl Chicana Punk immediately caught the attention of Joan Jett who signed them to her label Blackheart, and Iggy Pop who sang their praises to Rolling Stone which has since been echoed by many! Producers on their debut LP (self-titled) include Lori Barbero (Babes In Toyland), Laura Jane Grace (Against Me!), and Alice Bag (The Bags), all of whom perfectly compliment the band’s fierce exploration of societal, cultural and gender-related issues. Mixing humor with agency, English with Spanish, Fea empowers listeners and inspires dissidence. Resistance has never sounded so infectious!

Wednesday, October 2nd - JRadkey wsg the Hourlies and Electric Sand
Radkey, a punk rock trio from St. Joseph, MO returns to Small's
wsg The Hourlies and Electric Sand
8 p.m. doors / 9 p.m. show / 18+
$8 in advance, $10 at the door
TICKETS: https://www.eventbrite.com
As pre-teens growing up in small-town Saint Joseph, Mo., brothers Darrion “Dee,” Isaiah and Soloman Radke enrolled in rock ‘n’ roll high school as their ticket out of Nowheresville. The brothers played their first show opening for Fishbone in 2011 and haven’t looked back since. In 2013, the Cat & Mouse and Devil Fruit EPs took Radkey from sweaty backroom punk gigs to storming the UK’s Download Festival and Riotfest in the U.S. In 2015, Radkey enlisted Arctic Monkeys producer/mixer Ross Orton to producer their debut record, Delicious Rock Noise. The result was an across-the-board detonation of several shades of rock, punk and wild abandon – and riffs, riffs, riffs. Having kicked off 2018 with new music, Radkey’s sound has continued to expand and mature, reflected in the sleek guitar and growing bass on their new tracks “Not Smart” and “Basement.” It’s a testament to the future of music,and the band is primed for the rock and roll glory.
