The Koffin Kats -
2019 Press Bio It’s been over 16 years since Vic, Tommy, & E-Ball started The Koffin Kats in their parent’s basements and played for beer in local Detroit bars. A psychobilly/punk band with influences ranging from The Damned to The Stray Cats, The Koffin Kats have covered a lot of ground. Nine albums later, a few member changes, and over 2,500 live shows from international tours… the founding lineup returned in 2016.
Six years after his departure, Tommy Koffin returned to playing guitar with The Koffin Kats. With Vic Victor on lead vocals and upright bass, and E Ball Walls on drums. In 2017, the trio released their latest album titled “Party Time In The End Times.”
2019 is a year of new music and international touring. KK will be releasing a new song each month while touring throughout North America and Europe.
You can keep up with Koffin Kats on all of the social media outlets. The band likes to keep it “old school” and suggests you check out their website at www.koffinkatsrock.com for all official information on news and tours.
The Last Gang -
Noise Noise Noise is nothing if not full of curveballs. The album opens with the “Guns Of Brixton”-esque title track, the first of the album’s many forays into guitar upstrokes and elastic basslines. The next curveball comes in the very next track, “WFTW,” the rare punk song that’s four minutes long and feeling a little bit like Searching For A Former Clarity-era Against Me!with Red cramming as many syllables into her verses as humanly possible. “Shameless,” a true gem of the album, a melodic punk banger with Red turning in a career-best vocal performance. The curveballs keep coming deep into the tracklisting, with the sludgy 6/8 tune “Intelligence Is A Plague.” In it, Red fires salvo after salvo at the ignorant masses as well as the publications that prey upon them (marking what is probably the first time alt-right “news” outlet Breitbart has been name-checked in a song). This gets to the crux of Noise Noise Noise: These songs speak to her, and she hopes they speak to you, too. “I write music just to be alive,” she concludes. “I hope there’s something that can be taken from it to make you feel that electricity inside of yourself, whether happiness, pain, bittersweet memories… Just pick apart the art and put it inside of your own life.”

About YAK ATTACK:
Yak Attack is a live electronic power trio. The band's music spans a wide variety of electronic genres (house, trance, breakbeat, drum and bass) and mixes in elements of many other genres such as jazz, funk, and psych. Founded in 2013, Yak Attack has gained recognition nationwide from virtuosic playing, a unique setup of live instruments and live looping with no pre-recorded samples or backing tracks, and compelling live performances featuring lush soundscapes, dynamic improvisation, and DJ-like transitions in continuous sets. The band has toured with an impressive array of national acts, thrown successful afterparties for many bands in numerous states, and has developed a passionate fanbase through its songwriting strength, extensive market history and festival appearances, live show recordings, and curation of an ecstatic, uplifting musical experience.
About CYTRUS:
Shaped by Jared Squires (guitar/vocals), Luke Nevills (bass/keys), Brandon Hailey (saxophone), Owen Mayo (keys/guitar), Trevor Church (drums), Alex Dean (synth/keys), Sean Connelly (vocals/keys), and Connor Merritt (aux percussion), Cytrus mines psychedelic funk, disco, electronic, rock, soul, hip-hop. Flowing through kaleidoscopic transitions, the band’s juicy synths and brass-powered grooves coalesce into an undeniable, hypnotic wall of sound.
Cytrus began when two Everett, WA bands found themselves mixing in the same shared rehearsal space. Finding they shared an ethos and approach to songcraft, Bunk Foss & HopSol merged, and Cytrus was born. The songs on Concentrate arose organically; some grew from sketches crafted by subgroups with the band where were then expanded upon in a full band setting. Others began as purely improvised sessions with the full octet which were later arranged. Yet all ultimately come from the conflux of individuality and collaboration.

The Takes -
Born out of Portland, Oregon, The Takes are a folk rock band making music for the fun of it,
creating community wherever they happen to be.
In 2020, Sumner Rahr (guitar/vocals) and Fritz Frerichs (drums) found themselves in Jackson,
Wyoming, writing songs together in their living room to pass the time. The result was the “High
Lonesome” EP – The band’s first release as a two-piece rock band that skewed psychedelic,
taking inspiration from Pink Floyd and The Doors. When asked to play their first live set at a
friend’s warehouse, the pair recruited high school friend Phoebe Webb (bass) and Sumner’s
brother Guido Rahr (guitar) for a show that made the group want to stick together. Between
semesters away at school, the four friends spent their summer and winter breaks playing shows
and recording new music, culminating in a move to Berkeley, California. They built a studio and
rehearsal space from scratch out of their Berkeley garage and began working on music
together, finally in the same place.
On their 2024 EP “Lay Hold,” The Takes delve further into their country/blues rock
tendencies, led by Sumner’s raw lead vocal and backdropped by a classic four-piece
arrangement of guitar, drums and bass. Drawing from their early psychedelic influences, the
band still creates songs the way a jam band would: “Someone comes up with a riff, we’ll start
out writing it one way, and as time goes on we’ll change it and change it,” Sumner explains.
“We’ll mess around until a song slowly gets shaped out of it.” Similar to the band’s formation,
their lyrical themes are organic: the changing of the leaves, flickering lights, relationships that
drift apart.
The band’s unbound approach is part of their ethos. Shaped by the Pacific Northwest and its
innate rock traditions, The Takes feel most at home in the outdoors, forging songs to soundtrack
scenic road trips or nights spent around campfires. “I think our community is less place-based
and more so with people who resonate with our same values,” Phoebe says. “Just spending
time outside, whether it’s Portland or Jackson or Berkeley.”
After selling out Portland staple Mississippi Studios at the end of last year, The Takes set out on
their first headline tour this spring. The 14-date “Desert Mind'' tour culminated in a debut set at
BottleRock Napa Valley, followed by their Fairwell Fest debut this summer. Their new “Lay Hold”
EP came out in Spring 2024.

WAND
Tuesday, March 25th 2025
Genre - psychedelic garage rock
Presale - $20 Door - $25
Doors @ 7PM - Show Starts @ 8PM
WAND -
Los Angeles group Wand started off playing wickedly spooky brand of psychedelic garage rock with metallic undertones, but as the band's leader Cory Hanson loosened the reins, they shifted to a more classic rock and modern pop-influenced approach. This change was reflected on albums like 2017's Plum and 2019's Laughing Matter, and their expansive and experimental live show was captured on the 2022 double-live album Spiders in the Rain. The band changed directions once again on their more spacious 2024 effort Vertigo.
Hanson started the band with drummer Evan Burrows, guitarist Daniel Martens, and bassist Lee Landey and immediately dove headfirst into a sludgy, psychedelic garage rock. They quickly put together an abundance of material that straddled the line between melodic and noise-heavy, issuing split singles with artists like Mikal Cronin and Meatbodies before signing to Ty Segall's Drag City spinoff label God? for the release of their 2014 debut LP Ganglion Reef. Wand embarked on a tour supporting Segall for the release of the album. The band's next record was recorded over a 12-day span by Chris Woodhouse at The Dock in Sacramento, California, and saw the band expanding its sound with synthesizers and showing a deeper heavy metal influence. Golem was released in early 2015 by In the Red Records. Not a band to waste any time, Wand returned before the end of the year with their third album, 1000 Days. Released by Drag City proper this time, the album saw Wand incorporating more electronics into their sound, while integrating their metal and psych elements even further.
They also toured frequently, playing many shows with Segall, who was impressed enough to subsequently play a number of shows with Hanson as an acoustic duo. He also added Hanson and Burrows to his backing band the Muggers for his 2016 touring dates. Thanks to this, Wand was uncharacteristically quiet on the recording front during 2016, with Hanson spending time working on a solo album. The acid folk-inspired, lushly orchestrated The Unborn Capitalist from Limbo was released by Drag City in late 2016. Around that time, Wand expanded their lineup by adding guitarist Robbie Cody and keyboardist/vocalist Sofia Arreguin. This also led to a change in the way the band wrote songs. Where previously Hanson brought finished songs to the rest of the group, now they spent time in their rehearsal space working out songs together. This new style of writing and the new members led to some sonic differences on their 2017 record Plum, on which the creepy, claustrophobic psychedelia and bludgeoning metal of the past were downplayed in favor of classic rock influences and more expansive-sounding indie rock. The same lineup of the band soon went back to the recording studio and cranked out another EP in the democratic vein of Plum. The seven-song Perfume was issued by Drag City in May of 2018. The shift away from their early garage rock fervor to more atmospheric songwriting fully solidified on 2019's Laughing Matter. The lengthy album was sculpted from improvised jams and sketches, Hanson's vocals sounding more and more like Radiohead's Thom Yorke as Wand explored more introspective indie rock territory. The band toured extensively in support of Laughing Matter, with the material changing shape as the group stretched out and adapted to each concert environment. Recordings made during Wand's 2020 tour dates were later organized on 2022 double-live album Spiders in the Rain. The album captured just how sprawling and exploratory the band could get in a live setting, with songs that were relatively short in their studio form unraveling into lengthy, sometimes 20-plus-minute jams. For their next studio set, 2024's Vertigo, Wand once again worked improvisations into fully realized songs. The album was more subdued and spacious than previous work, with all the material being recorded in the band's private studio. ~ Fred Thomas, Rovi

Luca Fogale -
“Amongst all these villains, I will be your friend,” Luca Fogale sang on his 2016 single “Villains,” and all these years later, he’s stayed true to that mission. It’s fitting that the debut album where that song originated was called Safety, because that’s always been Luca’s mission in music: to provide comfort and sanctuary, not just from the cruel world that can so often bring us down, but from the dark thoughts and messy feelings that can plague us in our most insecure moments. Raised on a steady diet of Nina Simone and Joni Mitchell, the singer/songwriter from Burnaby, British Columbia possesses a voice that seems soft and gentle on the surface, but cuts deep to reveal hidden truths and suppressed emotions. “I grew up in not the most expressive family,” Luca reflects, “and we were conservative both in the way that we interacted with each other and the way we all bottled things up.” He’s spent his musical career making up for lost time, creating songs that aren’t afraid to be tender, vulnerable, and brutally honest.
With Safety, we were introduced to a songwriter with a fine-tuned ear for warm, wool-sweater melodies, richly rendered narratives, and intimate autumnal ambiance, like Jeff Buckley timewarped into Bon Iver’s wood cabin. That album—and its gospel-gilded 2017 follow-up single “I Don’t Want to Lose You”—pegged Luca as an indie-folk phenom on the rise, with streaming stats well into the seven figures. But his Juno nominated 2020 follow-up, Nothing Is Lost, revealed there was a whole lot more to Luca than prettily played serenades on acoustic guitar and piano. Through a broader palette of synth-washed atmospheres, orchestral flourishes, and lush ‘70s soft-rock arrangements, the album sees Luca graduate from the proverbial coffeehouse to the concert hall, recasting his private conversations as cinematic set pieces.
However, his musical vision expands, Luca’s songwriting keeps drilling down into the deepest corners of his soul, as he reckons with crises both spiritual and existential in search of inner peace and redemption. But “Something I've really struggled with my entire life is feeling worthy and purposeful and that my life has value,” Luca admits. “A lot of these songs are meditations and reminders to myself of how I want to live my life: the ways in which I want to think about myself and think about the people in my life, and how I want to be seen. I'm still learning about what sort of music I want to make and what kind of artist I want to be. Obviously, it's a lifelong process.”
Luca’s new album “Run Where the Light Calls” arrived March 24th, 2023 via Amelia Recordings

Mary Eliza -
Mary Eliza, Portland-based singer/songwriter, grew up playing music in a family band in Oakland, CA, and has spent the years since traveling, living in her van, and busking on city sidewalks. She finds community in the mountains she situates between, the streets she steps through, and the communities she opens her heart towards. The catchy hooks of her songs are reminiscent of the bluegrass origins of Mary’s music, while the old-time, indie folk carried through her instrumentation captures the years she spent on the road.
Mary’s artistry is that of a garden, where growth and death happen simultaneously, where something bright rises and blooms in dark places, where you can hold the whole experience of heartbreak, chronic illness, and overflowing love all at once.
