From Ashes to New

November 2 2025

5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 627-4547 Price: Price may vary- tickets go on sale: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 a.m.

In a small town, you either die where you came from or dream your way out. From Ashes To New understand this choice. As such, the Lancaster, PA band—Matt Brandyberry [rap vocals, keys, synths, programming, guitar], Danny Case [clean & unclean vocals], Lance Dowdle [lead guitar], and Mat Madiro [drums]—churn out an anthemic hybrid of hard rock, hip-hop, electronic, and alternative with enough energy to inspire you to get up, move forward, and maybe even, make a change. Since 2013, the group have risen from humble beginnings to the top of the 21st century rock vanguard with hundreds of millions of streams, sold out shows across the country, and acclaim from LoudWire, Alternative Press, and more.

 

“Growing up in Elizabethtown, PA felt hopeless in a way,” admits Matt. “You go to college and become part of corporate America, or you’re just “trash”.  For the longest time, I fell into the latter category according to other people. My mentality was, ‘Who are these people to fucking tell me what I’m going to do with my life?’ They don’t make my decisions; I make decisions for myself. It took a lot of ups and downs, but it’s paying off. I owe it to the small town blue-collar mentality that made me work harder. Danny grew up in Rochester, but his story is the same. We were the loners picked last. Everyone underestimated us. We fought through it for all of our lives, and we’re going to be picked first now.”

 

“I was always an outcast who nobody gave a shit about,” agrees Danny. “The only thing I ever dreamt of was music. Like the other guys in From Ashes to New, nobody was going to tell me otherwise or stop me.”

 

During 2021, the musicians holed up in Lancaster with longtime collaborators and producers Grant McFarland and Carson Slovak to create their upcoming album.  This time around, the band made a conscious decision to ignore outside influences and focus on what makes them From Ashes To New.

 

“We weren’t going to let other people tell us what to do,” affirms Danny. “We went back to the guys who produced us for a long time, because they worked cohesively with us.”

 

“We got back to the days of creating music to simply create,” adds Matt. “We ended up making the most genuine piece of art we could. At the same time, we applied everything we’ve learned as musicians, producers, and writers. We knew we were capable of doing everything bigger and better.”

Hippie Sabotage

October 31 2025

5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 627-4547 Price: Price may vary- tickets go on sale: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 a.m.

Hippie Sabotage is a Sacramento born, LA based production duo made up of brothers Kevin & Jeff Saurer. The duo got their start as bedroom producers in middle school after obsessing over the music used in their favorite skateboarding videos. In 2014, Hippie Sabotage skyrocketed to #1 on Billboard’s Next Big Sound chart after releasing their remix of Tove Lo’s ‘Habits (Stay High)’ (752M YouTube Plays) and have since surpassed over 1 Billion Spotify Streams. In 2019, Hippie Sabotage performed at festivals like Austin City Limits, Made In America, Day N Vegas, Bumbershoot, Electric Forest, Corona Capital, Splash House and more. Their sound is rooted in electronic music, but it takes cues from hip hop, psych rock, and chill wave, all pulled together by Jeff’s killer guitar skills and Kevin’s explosive personality on stage.

Rico Nasty

October 10 2025

5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
The NorVa 317 Monticello Ave, Norfolk, VA 23510 (757) 627-4547 Price: Price may vary- tickets go on sale: Friday, June 13, at 10:00 a.m.

Always the rap world’s biggest rock star, Rico Nasty is known for her own particular brand of rage-rap and for her outrageous on-stage, online, volume-up persona. But as she grew up, she started to feel trapped by the character she created. LETHAL, her latest album out now on Fueled by Ramen, is a reckoning of who Rico is at 28 with the trap-pop teen persona she created more than a decade ago.

Film Break Society: Adolescence of Utena (1999)

June 26 2025

5:30 p.m. - 7:00 p.m.
Naro Cinema 1507 Colley Ave, Norfolk, VA 23517 Price: $15.00+ fees
“The queer as hell psychedelic anime you need to see.” – Dazed
Heads turn when dapper, pink-haired tomboy Utena Tenjou rolls onto the rose-strewn campus of Ohtori Academy in ADOLESCENCE OF UTENA. Thrust into the high stakes drama of the school’s fencing league, Utena finds herself slicing and dicing her way through the ranks of the school’s ruling class of duelists, all of them eager to claim the hand of “The Rose Bride,” a princess with the power to revolutionize the world.
Frustrated by the lack of creative control while working on Sailor Moon, director Kunihiko Ikuhara created Revolutionary Girl Utena as an overtly queer story that twists the magical girl concept into a sexy, psychedelic gender-bender with sword fights and race cars. The film’s open challenge to traditional gender and romance connected with audiences all over the world, a powerful story of resistance, romance and rebellion. In Japanese with English Subtitles (1999, Not Rated, 1hr27min)
THE PROGRAM ALSO INCLUDES:
Live preshow performance by Norfolk electronic artist and revolutionary girl KARACELL.
Short Film: GRACE Directed by Natalie Jasmine Harris. Sixteen-year-old Grace prepares for her baptism in the 1950’s South. When she learns she must repent before the ritual, Grace contemplates her budding romantic feelings toward her best friend, Louise. (2024, 13min)
Presented by FILM BREAK SOCIETY, a nonprofit organization dedicated to big screen presentations of classic films and under-the-radar contemporaries.
