The Water Tower in Oaks Presents
TWLVS, Kinzua, And The Great American Typewriter
The Water Tower is bringing together a powerful night of Philly-area rock and punk with TWLVS, The Great American Typewriter, and Kinzua. TWLVS delivers raw, melodic alt-rock shaped by decades of touring experience alongside some of the biggest names in the scene, while The Great American Typewriter brings high-energy pop punk packed with anthemic hooks and early-2000s influence. Rounding out the bill, Kinzua adds depth and texture with dynamic guitars, driving rhythms, and thoughtful, literary-leaning lyrics — making this a must-see lineup for fans of modern independent rock.
TWLVS
TWLVS is the creative project of multi-instrumentalist Matt Fleischman. A fixture in the Philadelphia music scene since the mid-90s, Matt has played guitar, bass, drums, and vocals in numerous bands before stepping onto the national stage. He began touring professionally in 2006 as bassist for From First to Last during their Heroin era, playing three full U.S. tours alongside acts like Fall Out Boy, All-American Rejects, and Every Time I Die.
Following that, he joined Sidecho Records’ Tokyo Rose on guitar, touring the U.S. and U.K. with bands like Zebrahead and Brandston. Later, Matt became a guitarist and vocalist in The Color Fred, the project led by Fred Mascherino (ex–Taking Back Sunday). With The Color Fred, Matt performed on Warped Tour 2008, Bamboozle, and toured with Angels & Airwaves, MXPX, Anthony Green, Chiodos, and more.
Now, with TWLVS, Matt channels decades of experience into a sound that’s raw, melodic, and deeply personal.
