Kilgore Trout, Vascoe Bleus & Oddball Song Creation
Kilgore Trout - While on a cross-country roadtrip, Pete and Kieran decided to reach out to Matt and ask him play on songs with them for an upcoming gig.
The trio prepared five original songs along with covers by bands like Fleet Foxes, Bon Iver, and Goose.
A combination of expertise and good chemistry allows the three-piece to sit down and write their original music as a team, and the result are songs that are well-rounded, never failing to fill the sonic space.
It is difficult to ascribe a genre to Kilgore Trout, but there is a common theme of storytelling in their music. They strive, in each song, to transverse a breadth of feeling as wide as life itself.

OPEN DECKS CT
CT Open Decks is a monthly, house music-focused open decks and networking event. Our goal is to provide an opportunity for new and up-and-coming house DJs to play out live, and to help grow and connect the house music scene in CT!
How Sign-ups work
In-person sign-ups for the following month will be available at each event before they open online.
If those slots are not filled, we will open online sign-ups for the remaining slots.
Your best chance of getting a slot is to attend the next event and sign up in person (get there early)!
HOW online sign-ups WORK
Go to the SIGN UP page and fill out the form
Read the considerations and click the button at the bottom of the page to continue to the sign up form. Sign-ups are handled by a third party service.
Select the slot you want and fill out the form.
Show up and play!
dj, dancer? come network!
CT Open Decks was created with the goal of growing the CT house music scene by providing more opportunities for DJs to play, as well for fans of house music to come dance and find their new favorite sound! So whether you’re a DJ, a dancer, or just love the vibes, we encourage you to come through and meet your people!
CONSIDERATIONS:
important! read this before signing up!
This is a house-music-focused event. While we love all kinds of dance music, the goal of this event is to help grow the house scene in CT and help house DJs, fans, and promoters meet and network with each other. We understand that genres aren’t an exact science, they bend and blend — we aren’t going to micromanage your set, but generally, please make sure you are playing house music if you sign up. This is not a bass music, dubstep, techno, or open format event.
A Pioneer Opus Quad and an XDJ will be available at the event. To use the Opus Quad, you MUST bring a Rekordbox USB using the Device Library Plus format. If you are unsure if your USB is using the correct library format, please refer to OUR TUTORIAL PAGE. If your USB does not work, and you have no backup solution, your slot will be given to someone else. If you are unsure if your USB will work, you should sign up for the back room and use the XDJ.
The event runs from 8pm - 12:30am
Sets are 45 mins long. There are 12 slots available at the next event, split between a front and back room.
We do not currently offer turntables for vinyl (but we’re working on it). Please do not bring your own turntables.
Please arrive at least 15 min prior to your set. Time is limited, and if you do not show up by your assigned start time, your slot may be given to someone else.
The event occurs at Stella Blues in New Haven, CT (204 Crown St.)
While we encourage new DJs to get familiar with a Pioneer setup, you are welcome to bring and use your own controller; but it must be set up and ready to go by the time your set starts. Any time spent setting up beyond that point will eat into your set time. Sets will not be extended. You can connect via RCA into the decks. We will provide XLR and RCA connections, if you require a different setup, make sure to bring the appropriate cables and/or adapters with you, or you will not be able to play.
Don’t forget your headphones!
Carmen Olivia Band & Mojohand
Carmen Olivia is an independent artist based in CT. Following her success on Tik Tok (@carmenoliviamusic) she was scouted for season 22 of ABC's American Idol. After earning herself a golden ticket to Hollywood and releasing her cover of "Oscar Winning Tears" by RAYE, she has been producing original music and planning shows with her band.
Mojohand New Jersey-born, Brooklyn-based band Mojohand have been writing rockin, country-soul-soaked songs and playing them in every bar, backyard, and basement willing to have them for the past seven years. Their energetic and melodic brand of rock & roll, ginger soul, and Jersey twang has won over crowds from coast to coast.
For their third studio LP “Dungarees”, Mojohand locked themselves in the live room at Business District Recording in Johnson City, NY and let the tape roll on a vintage 4-track ampex machine. The result is a timeless album that evokes the thousands of late nights onstage refining their raucous style and infectious songs, and the countless miles they’ve traveled together in their van chasing down the same promises that rock & roll has made with its fingers crossed for generations and generations.
BLÜECRÜE" & Internet Tears
The phenomenal BLÜECRÜE (NYC) is bringing their unmatched energy to Stella Blues for an unforgettable live performance. Known for their electrifying, groove-heavy sets that get everyone on the dance floor, you don't want to miss this show!
Hailing from Connecticut, Internet Tears brings a vibrant, intimate energy to the stage with their self-coined “indie pop sadness.” Featuring a mix of nostalgia-driven synth-punk, 80s-inspired synthwave, and deeply personal lyrics, the trio (Daniel Louis, Ben Kubie, Mike Dorrico) delivers an infectious sound that blends vulnerability with high-energy hooks.

Old Milk Mooney, Thin Lear, Figurine, Niagra Moon
Old Milk Mooney are the New Haven-based, self proclaimed pioneers of Boop-Core: a genre that sounds suspiciously similar to folk. With an exploration of the human experience through heartfelt harmonies and lyrics, Dan and Lars bring a sense of playfulness and beauty to the lonely reflective moments of life. - MUSIC
The music of Thin Lear comes into focus like a specter in the dark – beckoning and restless – an outstretched hand from the dimness of a room. The moniker of NJ songwriter Matt Longo, Thin Lear crafts lustrous indie folk, drawing acclaim from tastemakers like NPR, KEXP, Bandcamp Daily, and more.
Figurine (CT) creates ethereal indie folk awash with lilting melodies and moving lyrics.
Niagara Moon (MA) produces baroque-pop reminiscent of the lush arrangements found within The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds.
Remember September
Connecticut based Indie Rock band Remember September has come a long way since forming twenty years ago. Throughout our time together, we have seen our grassroots effort expand from playing at local clubs in the tri-state area to performing at stadiums and major venues all along the East Coast.
Our harmonic blending of vocals and instrumentation creates a truly unique sound which appeals to a wide variety of musical genres and can be enjoyed across a wide span of age ranges.
“Remember September’s acoustic rock sound blends country, rock, jazz and blues, and has been compared to the Allman Brothers and Dave Matthews Band.”-Serendipity Magazine (October 2010.)

Molly Murphy, Find Real Soon & Joey Mastro
After beginning college as a double Film and English major pursuing a career in screenwriting, Molly left her former path behind to join a band. Since trading in on-screen narratives for the power of songwriting, she has been praised by music luminary Frank Liddell (Miranda Lambert, Lee Ann Womack, Eli Young Band) as a "young, promising songwriter with a big heart" and has captivated audiences with lyrics that resonate deeply and a voice that bares her soul.
Rooted in her Celtic heritage, Molly has crafted a distinct musical identity by blending the earthy tones of Irish instrumentation with a modern indie folk palette. Her recent project, Tigers In Your Backyard, merges influences from 60s and 70s folk with traditional Irish music, creating what Molly describes as "Celtic Flower-Power."

Show up and play!
dj, dancer? come network!
CT Open Decks was created with the goal of growing the CT house music scene by providing more opportunities for DJs to play, as well for fans of house music to come dance and find their new favorite sound! So whether you’re a DJ, a dancer, or just love the vibes, we encourage you to come through and meet your people!
CONSIDERATIONS:
important! read this before signing up!
This is a house-music-focused event. While we love all kinds of dance music, the goal of this event is to help grow the house scene in CT and help house DJs, fans, and promoters meet and network with each other. We understand that genres aren’t an exact science, they bend and blend — we aren’t going to micromanage your set, but generally, please make sure you are playing house music if you sign up. This is not a bass music, dubstep, techno, or open format event.
A Pioneer Opus Quad and an XDJ will be available at the event. To use the Opus Quad, you MUST bring a Rekordbox USB using the Device Library Plus format. If you are unsure if your USB is using the correct library format, please refer to OUR TUTORIAL PAGE. If your USB does not work, and you have no backup solution, your slot will be given to someone else. If you are unsure if your USB will work, you should sign up for the back room and use the XDJ.
The event runs from 8pm - 12:30am
Sets are 45 mins long. There are 12 slots available at the next event, split between a front and back room.
We do not currently offer turntables for vinyl (but we’re working on it). Please do not bring your own turntables.
Please arrive at least 15 min prior to your set. Time is limited, and if you do not show up by your assigned start time, your slot may be given to someone else.
The event occurs at Stella Blues in New Haven, CT (204 Crown St.)
While we encourage new DJs to get familiar with a Pioneer setup, you are welcome to bring and use your own controller; but it must be set up and ready to go by the time your set starts. Any time spent setting up beyond that point will eat into your set time. Sets will not be extended. You can connect via RCA into the decks. We will provide XLR and RCA connections, if you require a different setup, make sure to bring the appropriate cables and/or adapters with you, or you will not be able to play.
Don’t forget your headphones!

Get Ready for a night to remember! Tonight we’re going back to the days of groovy hits and disco dancing for a Soul Train themed Bday Bash.

Come through and dress to impress! *Soul Train Lines will occur every hour, on the hour until 1am "We wish you love, peace, and soul!"
Escaper - Deep kinetic grooves take you to outer space, elevate your soul and liberate your mind
Piloted by the broadly influenced, stage-seasoned pair of Will Hanza (guitar, vocals) and Phil Kadet (keys, vocals), Ropeadope Records recording artists Escaper blend Rock, R&B, Jazz, Funk and Electronica into cohesive, soul-stirring, jam-filled soundscapes. The duo are complemented by a cadre of in-demand drummers and bassists. Heavy grooving bassist Luke Bemand (lespecial) in particular, is a key contributor and collaborator.
Since its formation in 2015, New York-based ESCAPER has enchanted audiences at venues and festivals throughout the Northeast with their inspired musical celebration of life and being. The band’s unrestrained yet creatively engaged musicianship has attracted sit-ins by players from notable like-minded bands such as the Disco Biscuits, Brazilian Girls, Thievery Corporation, Rubblebucket, Dopapod, Cabinet and Turkuaz.
The sparkling sonic interplay between Hanza and Kadet, underpinned by the funky punch of the talented pocket keepers, is ready-made for uninhibited communal hip-shaking. Escaper’s acclaimed live shows attract true music lovers of all ages and backgrounds, eager to vibe in the band’s musical embrace.
