Casket Cassette

The Reducer Tour brings Casket Cassette, Stare Away, and My Manifesto to PhilaMOCA for an evening of shadowy textures, pulsing rhythms, and cathartic songwriting. Casket Cassette is the Los Angeles project of Constant Williams, weaving the city’s grit with its bright glow to shape music that is both euphoric and melancholic. The sound moves with a dark, danceable pulse, threading elements of post-punk, darkwave, new wave, EBM, synthpop, and alternative into something at once retro-tinged and forward looking. The project’s name traces back to a childhood moment when a tape of a live song recorded by Williams’ father was placed with his grandfather at burial, a memory that echoes through lyrics about loss, addiction, heartbreak, and recovery, balanced by flashes of humor, resilience, and momentum. Williams is based in Los Angeles and holds an MFA in Poetry from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop. From the New York City underground, Stare Away is Nelson’s blend of post-punk and surf-goth. Drawing on 80s goth and post-punk, the music wrestles with existential dread and stark beauty while searching for glimmers of light in darker corners. My Manifesto turns to faith, loss, and the slim space where hope persists. Led by Nick Coma with occasional collaborators, the project leans into influences like early Depeche Mode, The Cure, Gene Loves Jezebel, and Ministry, channeling synth-laced moods and emotional intensity.

The Body w/ Big|Brave & Carnivorous Bells

A powerful bill at PhilaMOCA features The Body with BIG|BRAVE and Carnivorous Bells. The Body, the long-running duo of guitarist and vocalist Chip King with Lee Buford on percussion and electronics, is known for pushing heavy music into new directions through dramatic dynamics, unusual methods, and wide-ranging collaborations. Their album The Crying Out of Things gathers threads from across their catalog, blending ecstatic distortion, layered arrangements, and grooves drawn from hip hop and R&B, with contributions from Ben Eberle, Dan Blacksburg, and Felicia Chen. BIG|BRAVE brings a sound that moves between enormity and hushed detail. The trio’s in grief or in hope shifts toward dense, guitar-forward writing, with longtime touring bassist Liam Andrews joining Robin Wattie and Mathieu Ball in the studio to shape richly harmonized pieces tracked live. The songs fuse drone, electronic textures, and heaviness inside clear song forms, while lyrics dwell on grief and hope. Philadelphia’s Carnivorous Bells arrives with Beacons in Limbo, a set that channels their taut, controlled strain of aggression. Their tracks balance creeping unease with sudden outbursts, threading in skewed rhythms, flashes of piano and gleaming guitar, and vocals that veer from murmured lines to feverish intensity. Three singular approaches to boundary-pushing sound come together at PhilaMOCA.

Explore the whimsical spirit of whirligigs with a hands-on craft session inspired by artist Vollis Simpson. In 1988, Isaiah Zagar, creator of the Magic Gardens, visited Simpson’s Whirligig Park in North Carolina and brought home several original pieces.

Four of Simpson’s metal birds also soar above the sculpture garden hallways, offering a direct connection to his playful work. During this PECO Family Jams program, participants create a garden ornament from salvaged materials, drawing on Simpson’s inventive approach. Learn more about his art and its presence at the Magic Gardens during tours of the mosaic-covered basement. Crafts and basement tours are included with regular admission, and the series is designed with families in mind.

First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia

Automatic w/ Accessory at the First Unitarian Church

Automatic teams with Accessory for a performance at the First Unitarian Church of Philadelphia. The LA trio of Izzy Glaudini, Lola Dompé, and Halle Saxon-Gaines fuses a retrofuturist spin on motorik pop with cool, cold-wave hooks, drawing on their album Excess for Stones Throw. Their songs probe consumer culture, alienation, climate anxiety, and the urge to escape, shaped in the studio with producer Joo Joo Ashworth into crisp drums and growling low-end synths that mirror tense times. While exploring pressure points like artistic precarity and desire’s double edge, the band ultimately leans toward connection and resolve rather than fatalism. Sharing the bill, Accessory is the solo project of Chicago songwriter and multi-disciplinary artist Jason Balla. His work balances optimism and melancholy, blending intimate acoustic elements and close-mic’d vocals with electronic mutation. The debut album Dust was crafted largely on equipment he built at home, welcoming the incidental sounds of daily life into layered arrangements. Piano-centered writing, tied to a family heirloom, guides songs that examine memory, relationships, and empathy across lo-fi tenderness, electro-acoustic textures, and feedback-kissed experimentation, seeking meaning and human contact in an age of apathy.

Registration fees increase before the event and again during event week. A no-cost virtual participation option is available for those unable to attend in person. Event t-shirts are mailed to virtual participants who raise at least $75 by the fundraising deadline so they arrive by event day, and those who register after the deadline do not qualify. The program includes a remembrance ceremony, an opening ceremony, the 5K, and a closing ceremony with runner awards.
