Strangers Family Band

Formed in Orlando, FL in the summer of 2007, Strangers Family Band—a five-piece consisting of members in their early twenties—gained recognition and a following from their intense live shows and unique take on psychedelia. The experience transports the listener from ominous vaudevillian progressions ('Beware The Autumn People') to ukulele strummed pop a'la Sgt. Pepper ('No One Sees Her') to North Indian raga-influenced drone ('Strange Transmission') like an uninterrupted stream of consciousness.

The Narrows

"The Narrows" refers to two bands. One from Bellingham, Washington (active from 1999-present) and another from Hillsdale, Michigan (active from 2004-08). Bellingham, Washington is a mossy, dark place. The Narrows’ music is the perfect compliment to their home, Bellingham. And like the moraines scattered around Whatcom county, this is glacial rock. It leaves humongous hanging valleys and piles of till everyplace it goes.

Radiant Sounds of Dust

The Radiant Sounds of Dust are a psych-rock-shoegaze-space-haze-exploratorary-hallucinatory rock n roll band based in Bristol. Formed by J. Tambakis and C. McCracken after they bonded over a love of vintage guitars, valve amps, effects pedals and rock n roll...they are two hedonists in love with the sound of silence as much as noise, crafting sound in space using acoustics, electronics weaving them into songs and noise.
