Atomic Sky is an original indie/alt. rock band from the Philly burbs former in 2008. We perform in Philly (JC Dobbs (RIP), The Fire, Kung Fu Necktie, The Grape Room, Voltage Lounge, Connies Ric Rac, etc.), New Hope’s Jon & Peters, Asbury Park’s The Saint, and New York City (Pianos, Kenny’s Castaways (RIP), Arlene’s Grocery, Cutting Room, etc.). We welcome the opportunity to perform anywhere between Philly and NYC at venues that appreciate live original music delivered professionally with passion. We write and perform all of our songs – with an occasional cover placed into the set every so many shows. Our influence is based in the dark wave genre coupled with elements from U2, The Cure, Joy Division, and Smashing Pumpkins.
Our History: Founding members are Jeff Unger, Dan Leason and Brad Maurer (all formerly from After the Fall). Mike Monroe took the original vocal lead until 2018 when that role was assumed by Rick Miller. Dan Leason, the original bassist, resigned to move down south and his shoes have been filled by Wayne Gladysz and Jino Arielly. We are excited to have Erin Dougherty as our new bassist who brings not only a rock solid baseline, but also fills out our sound with vocal harmonies.
