Her New Knife at Chess Club

Mar 13, 2025

12:00am – 12:40am CT

Chess Club

This performance is part of the showcase that starts on Wednesday, March 12 at Chess Club

Her New Knife is a shoegaze/alternative band based out of Philadelphia, PA. The group's members include Edgar Atencio (guitar and vocals), Ben Kachler (guitar), Carolina Schooley (bass), and Elijah Ford (drums). The band's recent EP, ‘chrome is lullaby’, released via Julia's War Recordings, captures a raw, vulnerable allure, offering fans of shoegaze and post-punk a profound connection to their unique sound. Their live performances are a mesmerizing experience, where scraping guitars and relentless, machine-like drums create an atmosphere that is both intense and ephemeral. Each show is an oblique journey, drawing the audience into fleeting and intimate moments. Her New Knife is currently working on their debut LP, expected to release in late 2025.
