All the Living and the Dead Opening Band: Spearmint or Fruit? Join us for good food, great drinks, and live music! November 19th, 2026 7-10 pm No Cover Charge! UPSTAIRS AT The Side Bar & Restaurant 10 East Gay Street West Chester, PA 19380 (610) 429-8297 Full menu and bar service available All the Living and the Dead: All the Living and the Dead is a five-piece, indie pop band from Philadelphia that blends the energy of rock with multi-layered vocal harmonies. Longtime friends and neighbors, Krista, Marc, Scott, and Tim solidified the idea of working on songs together throughout 2020 with the lineup filled out by early 2022 when Doug joined to handle drums. Members have played (and still play) in and around the Philly area in bands like The Bigger Lovers, Mason Porter, Missing Palmer West, The Bret Tobias Set, and Space Ate Mafia. Spearmint or Fruit? The guitar quartet Spearmint or Fruit? emerge from the space where the bricks and sticks of Greater Philadelphia converge - declaiming the illusion of choice - the band channels post punk pulse awash in blown out textures into spaghetti elegies for accelerating entropy at the end of history: a swirling maelstrom of black ice little trees, piles of purest Velcro, and fading notes of drakkar noir.
