ciderup shows xxvi presents — FRIDAY OCT 16TH — THE STITCHES HUNTING LIONS CLENCHER SJ REJECTS — 8pm doors / 8:30pm show ADV TIX AVAILABLE IVY ROOM | 21+ — THE STITCHES — The Stitches are a 1970s-style punk rock band formed in 1994 in Orange County. They record on independent labels such as Disaster, Gold Standard Laboratories, Vinyl Dog, Suburbia, TKO, and Kapow. The group's debut 7" "Sixteen" came out in '94 and is one of the greatest punk singles ever released. It was as if the Sex Pistols, Pagans, Dead Boys, and countless Killed By Death favorites had coalesced into one wild and explosive band. The energy, power, and guts just bled out of your turntable speakers! In a single moment, Michael Lohrman and Johnny Witmer emerged as a vocal/guitar tandem of legendary proportion. "Sixteen" arrived at a time when nothing that sounded quite like it had been heard in years, and it inspired the growth of "snotty punk rock" as a genre onto itself in the later '90s and beyond. HUNTING LIONS — Hunting Lions is a culmination of rock veterans. Including past and present members of The Swingin' Utters, The Beltones, Roadside Bombs, Hometown Addiction, Resilience, The Burdens, and more. Formed at the beginning of the pandemic, we have one purpose: to play boot-stomping Rock n Roll!
