University City Summer Series - Catbite

University City Summer Series - Catbite In-Person

The University City Summer Series presented by World Cafe Live returns in 2025 with three free concerts at The Lawn at uCity Square. Make sure to join us for good vibes and great music at this beautiful outdoor space!

poetik selektions will kick off each concert with a DJ set at 5 PM, and headliners will take the stage at 6:30. The uCity Square Beer Garden will be open during the concert for pay-as-you-go drinks from Two Locals Brewing Company.

We’re closing out the Summer Series with neo two-tone ska band Catbite! Formed in Philadelphia in May of 2018, Catbite is influenced by the jolting energy of the Specials, the Selector’s edged lyrics, and Elvis Costello‘s love of melody, the group cranks out short, catchy tunes that usually have a deeper meaning… and sometimes don’t. The band’s debut self-titled LP was released in 2019 on Bad Time Records and has sold out of several pressings. The highly anticipated Sophomore album, “Nice One,” also on Bad Time Records, was released on August 6, 2021 and was accompanied with a sold-out hometown show. Nice One includes hits like “Call Your Bluff,” “Excuse Me Miss,” and the soulful rocksteady tune, “Bad Influence.”
