Mary In The Junkyard, with Lefty Parker

Mary In The Junkyard play PhilaMOCA on Saturday, November 21, with Lefty Parker opening. They're a London-based indie/art rock trio — Clari Freeman-Taylor on vocals, guitar, cello, viola, and violin; Saya Barbaglia on bass, viola, violin, and backing vocals; and David Addison on drums — who describe their own sound as "angry weepy chaos rock."

They're touring their debut album, Role Model Hermit, which came out in July 2026 on AMF Records. It was recorded in London during the summer of 2025 with producer Oli Bayston of Boxed In, and it follows the EP this old house, which they put out in 2024. One of the album's singles, "New Muscles," shows a lighter side of the band; it was originally composed on the accordion and became a fan favorite while they supported Wet Leg on their 2025 US tour. The video for the song was shot in South-East London and features Barbaglia and Freeman-Taylor learning Muay Thai for a fight that is real.

Live, the band leans into a DIY ethos and a dynamic stage presence. The Philadelphia date is already listed as sold out, though there's a waiting list you can join if you're still hoping to get in. Doors open at 7:30 PM and the show starts at 8:00 PM at PhilaMOCA, 531 North 12th Street, Philadelphia, PA 19123. Tickets are $25.81.
