WEDNESDAY JANUARY 28TH / 7-11PM / $5-$20 ALL AGES AT @banthateabar

SWEET ABYSS starts the new greg year off after a herstoric 2025 with an abstractly bedazzled lineup of beguiling proportions, culled from the ambiguous & polluted waters of queer appalachia in all it’s strangeness into another legendarily experiential Wednesday evening

CECROPIA aka @everyone_i_fuck_is_gay is one manifestation of the multifaceted musical output of Luna Moth - known for her honest and comedic poetics, synth manual sorcery, gripping live performances, community meal sharing programmes, and so much more we can’t even type. We are honored to have her join us for a long awaited live set, bringing the raw intensity & emotional resonance of Cecropia’s 2024 album “Holes in the Sky”. The “pop trans synth bitch from Pittsburgh, PA” steps up to the stage inside the intimate confines of none other than… Bantha Tea Bar!!!

Speaking of multifaceted, multiplicitious, & multihyphenate, we’re keen to receive an audiovisual live set from Pittsburgh’s own JOHNNY ARLETT @johnnyarlett - synthesizing decades of influence from the unique depths of the dissonant North American experimental underground, Johnny’s unique conjurations of rhythmic soundscape will be accompanied by 100% original visuals from them as well! Transmitting directly from the heart & mind to your eyes & ears

M&M is Malzof and Maitake… Multifaceted & multihyphenated! Two long-time friends, producers of nightlife experience, and freewheeling disc jockeys whose sounds melt in your brain. Look for the M on every groove. A geosmin delight and a sonic journey in TDM. There’s a little M for everyone.

And as always, @jmal_malzof will be providing the visuals to your captivating delight & accessing your fractalized spheres of wonderment throughout the evening

Sweet Abyss is an event to center people that run afoul of societal expectations playing a wide variety of fun, strange, rhythmic sounds to dance or move their minds to. Dance to all kinds of synth-wave, trip hop, dub, disco, & electronic explorations. Hosted by residents Kiernan Laveaux, Malzof, Davis Galvin + Carrie Sours
