Neurotic Mass Movement

NMM comprises of the songwriting partnership of Yin Ly and David Desantos. Together they have fused a classic emotional evocative wall of sound which touches and explores the outer reaches of punk, electronica and rock..n..roll. Singer Yin Lys iconoclastic performance can only be imitated but never copied. This singer has to be seen and heard to be believed. Multi- instrumentalist David Desantos underpins and cajoles the NMM sound with his uncompromising musicianship.

Teen

Brooklyn’s TEEN came together when Teeny Lieberson, formerly of Here We Go Magic, left her post in the latter band in order to make music with her sisters Katherine and Lizzie and their longtime friends Jane Herships and former member Maia Ibar. Forgoing girl-group gimmickry and fervor, the band’s digital-only debut EP, Little Doods, fleshed out a sound of languid, lo-fi psyche pop redolent of Paisley Underground bands like Opal and Rain Parade. Since releasing the EP in April 2011, they have steadily honed their sound around New York and readied their first long-player, In Limbo.
