AURA FEST: Fury in Few // The Maxines // Candy Truck
October 4th at The Sentient Bean
13 E. Park Ave. Savannah, GA
All Ages. Doors at 7 PM. $12 adv/$15 at door.
Based in the Dirty South, Atlanta’s Fury in Few encompasses a sound that is unapologetically in-your-face, hard rock for Gen-Z. Taking nods from indie rock, hardcore punk, and alternative beats, Brayden Gomer (vocals, guitar) and Ryan Calatayud (drums) are no strangers to playing North America's diverse underground DIY scenes. The band has toured throughout much of the US well surpassing over 100 gigs since venues reopened post quarantine. Fury in Few's third EP, "The Titan" was released through Sakers Music in 2022 and features powerful anthems including singles, "Kim, Would You Stop Taking Pictures of Yourself? Your Sister is Going to Jail." and "(Metal) Piece of $h!t." With Fury in Few’s undeniable fierce live show becoming more recognized as an emerging scene mainstay, a growing movement of new rock fans are experiencing the band’s proclamation to ‘Rock or Die. Be Dangerous.’

The Maxines is an all female rock band based in Savannah, Georgia led by AJ Grey on vocals and twins Coco and Maddie Oke on drums and guitar. Their sound fuses grunge and alternative metal with swoon-worthy guitar riffs, angsty lyrics, and moody vocals paired with energetic performances that will suck you right in.

AURA FEST // Corrupted Empire, Rectoplasm, The Tarnished, Oshiner
AURA Fest Presents
Heavy, angry and groove driven, Corrupted Empire hails from Savannah Georgia. "Corrupted Empire released three singles last year that showcase their low-end, gut-rumbling guitar chug that draws inspiration from bands like Lamb of God, After the Burial, and Periphery." - Savannah Morning News
LINK - https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100082430693892
Rectoplasm is a southeast slamming death metal band based out of Columbia South Carolina and Savannah Georgia. While paying homage to the slam OG's like Devourment and Cephalotripsy, these new jacks are taking the new wave of dummy death and making it even dumber.

Atlanta based hardcore band The Tarnished started in Late 2022, with guitarist Victor Simental having a vision to once again pursue making music. Flash forward to 2023 the band played their first shows. The Tarnished just recently released their new single "Vultures" and released their EP, "Self Decay". The EP is packed with heavy riffs along with crushing breakdowns and life connecting lyrics dealing pain, love, loss, and overcoming struggles.

Oshiner is a Savannah-based, heavy act that brings a refreshing take to progressive/alternative metalcore. Oshiner’s psychedelic stoner elements tastefully balance out their groovy riffs and crushing breakdowns. Their dynamic sound will take you on a voyage of subdued tranquility and utter aggressiveness.

FEATURES
Great acoustics | vaulted 22 ft wood ceiling | modest 5x7 ft stage | seats up to 50/standing room 70 | seating can be arranged with tables or in rows | smoke free
THE SPACE
Used as seating during the day, it is easily transformed into a comfortable DIY performance space. We have a stage and large open floor space that works well for standing room as well as seating. During shows, the coffee house offers baked goods, beer and wine, as well as drip coffee and tea.
PROMOTION
We include events on our website, and are happy to be Facebook Event co-hosts. In large part, however, the promotion is up to you! Feel free to drop off up to three posters, and a stack of quarter sized flyers if you have them. Flyers should include a short description of your music or a media quote. Be sure to send your information to the local media.
PAYMENT
Just to clarify, we are not a club, we are a coffee shop (and a little more). We do not pay guarantees, and generally performers accept donations or run their own door fee. Currently, as our café closes at 7PM, a staffing fee is required to book an event. The details of payment will be handled during the scheduling process.
