ULTRA SUNN is a contemporary EBM/Coldwave/New Beat band from Brussels, Belgium, formed in late 2019 by frontman and multi-instrumentalist Sam Huge and keyboardist/producer Gaelle Souflet. In 2023, they were joined on stage by keyboardist and percussionist Alexis Andrigo.

ULTRA SUNN expresses a desire for modernity through its themes, fresh approach to sounds and collaborations (Kontravoid, Kris Baha, Curses, Sarin) while being the heirs of the famous Sound Of Belgium and classical EBM. ULTRA SUNN regularly played alongside Front 242, Nitzer Ebb, DAF or A Split Second.

In 2020 with the release of their hit “Keep Your Eyes Peeled,” the duo gained widespread recognition, performing concerts all around the world, from Brussels to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Calgary, Sao Paulo, Mexico, Bogota, Berlin, London, and many more.

The band already released 3 EPs called ‘Night is Mine’, ‘Body Electric’ and ‘Kill Your Idols’, all borrowing from their activities in classical arts and fashion shows, their New Beat and EBM inspirations and their desire to create dancing and luminous hymns about self improvement, gender equality, fight against anxiety. Always with an inclusive, powerful and positive spirit.

In 2023, ULTRA SUNN signed a worldwide, multi-album deal with Canadian-based label Artoffact Records then embarked on a tour in Latin America, (Mexico, Medellin, Bogota, Lima, Santiago, and Sao Paulo).

The duo annonces their first full LP for April 2024 as well as two USA tours for Spring and Fall 2024. The first tour will include the Sick New World Festival in Las Vegas then Los Angeles, the band will also play up the west coast to end in Vancouver, Canada.

Since their inception in 2009, Berlin via NYC & LA outfit Bestial Mouths have been creating some of the most powerful darkwave in the musical underground. Now guided primarily by frontwoman and co-founder Lynette Cerezo, whose vocals range from operatic, extended-technique furies to shouted monologues, the band are a medium for pure, intense emotion.

Bestial’s latest incarnation continues to channel new and experimental paths through the project’s original gothic post-punk roots. Led by Cerezo’s visceral, emotional voice and lyrics, and featuring beautifully brutal production from Brant Showers (AAIMON/SØLVE), Alex DeGroot (Zola Jesus) and Balázs Képli (nullius in verba) and a live incarnation with David Foster (HUREN/TESTE) and Raf Abr (FUROR) the music of Bestial Mouths is the journey of a soul shattered—then stapled back together by female rage and self-determination.

PIG (ex-KMFDM alumni) “Heroin for the Damned Tour” with Unitcode:Machine + Wicked Playground – West Palm Beach – 11/1/24

Heroes Live Entertainment presents PIG (ex-KMFDM alumni) “Heroin for the Damned Tour” with special guests Unitcode:Machine and Wicked Playground on Friday, November 1, 2024 @ Respectable Street in West Palm Beach. First South Florida show since 2017!

Tickets: https://pigband.eventbrite.com

7:00PM (Doors) | 8:00PM (Show) | 18+

PIG – the venerated project of head hog Raymond Watts & his herd of swine – returns in top form on Red Room. Watts & Co tease, taunt, tempt & tantalize with PIG’s singular blend of hook laden, genre bending, electronic tinged rock & roll, full of malevolent reverence, glitz, glamour, sleaze, sin & swing.

Guest appearances by Alexis Mincolla (3Teeth), Chris Hall (Stabbing Westward), and the PIG Choir: Chris Connelly (Revco, Ministry etc), Emily Kavanaugh (Night Club), I Ya Toyah, Marc Heal (Cubanate) and Burton C Bell (Fear Factory), En Esch, Susannah Doyle, Anita Kyoda, Mark Alan Griffiths, Mike Watts, Jimmy Livingstone, and more!

<PÎG> is Raymond Watts, a British musician whose brand of electronic rock is danceable and deadly serious in turn. Watts’s words spring from the well of gallows humour in a world of corruscating cruelty and truth. <PÎG> climbs peaks and mines troughs, and musical genres slide and collide like tectonic plates.

In 1986 Raymond Watts awoke in West Berlin. It was a time of terror and turmoil, in a city so depraved and decadent that the East Germans had walled it in. Watts had cut his teeth on tape loops in London and Hamburg, but inspired by Berlin’s fetid air and his first 8-bit sampler, Watts gave birth to <PÎG> in 1988, when <PÎG> was cut from his belly with a rusty screwdriver in a basement opposite The Wall. The first squeals were committed to tape, and saw the light of day as A Poke in the Eye. Wax Trax! jumped to release it.

A year earlier, in Hamburg, he was bludgeoning the first KMFDM album into shape with En Esch and Sascha Konietzko. He had also helped deliver the sonic slaughter of Einsturzende Neubauten, Psychic TV and most of the Berlin and Hamburg underground, as both live and studio sound engineer, and producer.

After writing the music for the second KMFDM album, Watts then slipped away to tour with Foetus, playing keyboards and guitar.

When The Wall collapsed, the party was over. Watts returned to London and <PÎG> albums poured forth: Praise the Lard, A Stroll in the Pork, Shit For Brains, Red Raw & Sore and The Swining. Watts programmed, produced and performed, ploughing a lone furrow until Karl Hyde, singer and sinner with Underworld, came to his assistance on guitars followed by Steve White.

Watts had also developed a taste for all things Japanese. His label was based there, his morals were parked there and <PÎG> had toured there many times. He was soon involved with a highly successful bunch of ne’er-do-wells called Schaft. Their album Switchblade, and a sold-out tour, followed.

In 1994, <PÎG> opened for NIN. This led to <PÎG>’s Sinsation album being released on Nothing Records — and then a return to Wax Trax! for Wrecked.

Watts also rejoined KMFDM in 1994, for the <PÎG> v KMFDM EP Sin, Sex & Salvation. On the ensuing album Nihil Watts resumed writing and vocal duties and several heaving tours followed, with Watts orchestrating the chaos from centre stage like a rampant ringmaster armed only with talent and tequila.

When not on tour, Watts could be found in his Ranch Apocalypse studios in London, working on <PÎG>’s No One Gets Out of Her Alive, Prime Evil, Disrupt Degrade & Devastate and the KMFDM albums Symbols, Attak and WW111. On the album Genuine American Monster, Watts reunited with legendary guitarist Guenter Schulz.

While in Toyko, Watts gave birth to the band Schwein with Sascha Konietzko and the Japanese musicians Sakurai and Imai. The albums Schweinstein, Son Of Schweinstein and a sold-out tour ensued.

After releasing the <PÎG> album Pigmartyr (Pigmata on Metropolis), Watts spent time in London indoctrinating his piglets and initiating them into the parish of the pork. When not leading his children down the path of righteousness, he could be found writing music for fashion and films for Alexander McQueen, Chloe, Marios Schwab, Halston, The Row and others. He also wrote music and did sound design for Punk: Chaos to Couture, the exhibition at the Met in New York.

In the final show before his death, Alexander McQueen commissioned Watts and John Gosling, Watts’s old partner-in-crime from Psychic TV days, to embellish the serene instrumental track Inside, from <PÎG>’s Genuine American Monster album. This became the soundtrack to what is seen as McQueen’s masterpiece, Plato’s Atlantis. This show was reprised as the finale of Savage Beauty, the McQueen retrospective that broke all records at the Met in New York and the V&A in London. He also wrote other original music and did sound design for the show.

Last year, in 2015, <PÎG> dipped his trotter in the trough once more, and released both the much lauded <PÎG> v Primitive Race EP Long in the Tooth, and the Compound Eye Sessions: <PÎG> v MC Lord of the Flies (aka Marc Heal, of Cubanate).

The Primitive Race collaboration brought together Watts and Mark Thwaite, of The Mission, Tricky and Peter Murphy fame, amongst many others. Together they set about writing what would become the main column of misery around which the new <PÎG> album, The Gospel, has been built. Watts’ newest partner in swine, Z. Marr of Combichrist fame, shared production and writing duties.

The new <PÎG> album, The Gospel, is a collection of twelve songs of ruin, redemption, resolution and resurrection. Across this tale of grime and punishment En Esch and Guenter Schulz leave their unmistakable trail of greasy fingerprints.

Ever changing, UNITCODE:MACHINE’s list of comparable projects changes from album to album.

NEW ALBUM PRODUCED BY CHRIS HALL OF STABBING WESTWARD:

“It was a real honor and pleasure to work with Eric. He put his heart on soul into this album both musically and lyrically. He was willing to truly expose his inner demons and flaws and turn them into beautiful emotional lyrics that really moved me. this is not easy to do. and it’s scary as hell to put yourself out there in such a painfully honest way. In a world of fake social media perfection, it’s a shocking and wonderful thing to experience true humanity. This is one of those rare albums that I can listen to all the way through and not skip any tracks. I am incredibly proud to have had a hand in bringing these songs to life. I hope that you will give it a listen and if you like it buy a copy to support indie music and musicians. thanks Chris”

Clan of Xymox “X-ODUS Tour” with Curse Mackey + SINE – Fort Lauderdale – 6/21/24

Heroes Live Entertainment presents Clan of Xymox “X-ODUS Tour” with special guests Curse Mackey + SINE on Friday, June 21, 2024 @ Kemistry Nightclub in Fort Lauderdale. The Dutch darkwave pioneers return to South Florida after their last sold-out show!

Since their formation in their native Holland, Clan of Xymox has been constantly changing, always challenging and often quite breathtaking. Formed in 80’s Amsterdam and signed to leading English independent label 4AD, home at one time to the Cocteau Twins, Dead Can Dance, and Pixies among others. The 4AD period saw the release of the band’s self-titled debut album and the second album Medusa. Those two records were full of tumbling electro beats, throbbing sequencers and moody vocals.

Clan of Xymox became one of the pioneers of the dark and moody electronic music that later became known as darkwave. Later they got signed to a subsidiary of Polygram USA. Their releases as solely Xymox were in a more synthpop/dance music vein. This period was known as their most commercial one, having dance chart hits in the USA.

In 1997, Ronny Moorings made the decision to restart Clan of Xymox and return to his musical roots in the Gothic electro scene. Since then, the band signed to USA based Metropolis Records, releasing a series of critically acclaimed albums.

The band has released 15 studio albums, 2 DVD’s, a remix and live album, “Best Of” and even a covers album. In 2017, “Days Of Black“ was released worldwide. It remains faithful to its roots and new-wave basis, but progressively evolved towards more melodic and harmonious songs.

Clan of Xymox have done what many similar bands fail consistently to do. They’ve upped their game, shaken things around, plunged back into the darkness and come up with something sounding fresh, original, and exciting. To the great enthusiasm of their fans, the band still tours with great energy worldwide on a constant basis. Current line-up consists of: Ronny Moorings, Mojca, Mario, Sean and Daniel.

Curse Mackey is a prolific industrial – darkwave performer and visual artist, a prominent member of industrial supergroup Pigface, as well as My Life with The Thrill Kill Kult. Founder of the notorious industrial-punk act Evil Mothers, he began his career as a teenager DJing and producing underground events in San Antonio & Austin, Texas. Curse Mackey’s new album, Immoral Emporium, due out on 09/09/22 is a riveting ten-song look forward at dark electronic music. Immoral Emporium pushes the boundaries of genre with a vast dynamic range, from a tortured whisper to a triumphant howl.

The first single, “Lacerations” is a dancefloor stomper with hypnotic vocals, a hard-hitting chorus with wailing synths and bin-shaking beats.

The album moves into poppy, upbeat club territory with the earworm “Dead Fingers Talk,” guaranteed to get everyone moving at your city’s goth/industrial club night. The buildups are big, such as in “Omens and Monuments”, with monstrous synths that bring Immoral Emporium to a goosebump-inducing, cathartic end leaving the listener looking forward to the future.

The album was produced by Curse Mackey and Chase Dobson (Rufus Du Sol), who also co-produced Instant Exorcism. Collaborators include synth wizard Justin McGrath (Nine Inch Nails, Kanga, The Black Queen), and MVTANT an exciting new industrial act from San Antonio, Texas. The album was mastered by Ken Marshall at HiWatt Labs, (Skinny Puppy, Riki, Front Line Assembly).

Austin, Texas’ electronic/alternative rock band, SINE (pronounced like ‘sign’, written in all caps), is the brainchild of drummer/multi-instrumentalist, Rona Rougeheart.

Rona was born in New York, the youngest daughter of a Taiwanese mother and Irish father. She grew up as a military child, living all over the U.S. and in Okinawa, Japan. Her father was a musician who taught her how to play keys and guitar. It wasn’t until later, she decided to take up drums on her own. Early in her musical career, she played drums for multiple bands in Austin, TX, catching the eye of Gretsch Drums who, in 2012, gave her her first endorsement. Gibraltar Hardware also added her to their roster.

Since SINE’s inception in 2016, the band has headlined shows around Texas and has shared stages with David J and Peter Murphy’s band (Bauhaus 40 Year Celebration), She Wants Revenge, 3Teeth, Curse Mackey, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Kanga, Twin Tribes, Wingtips and most recently on December 2, 2021 in Dallas, TX with legendary EBM artists, Nitzer Ebb.

TIMELINE

SINE’s debut album, INSOMNIÆ, was released in January 11, 2019 and was recorded in Austin, TX with Charles Godfrey/Scary American (also of Sonic Ranch). Godfrey, in his two decade plus audio career, has been engineer/producer on over 75 recordings, including the Yeah Yeah Yeahs’, It’s Blitz! and Mosquito, and The Black Angels Indigo Meadow. SINE also worked with Charles on the Injected release that came out on November 1, 2019, as well as the new forthcoming EP trilogy entitled, Mantis, to be released in 2022.

In April, 2019, she landed a sole opening slot with her band SINE for Peter Murphy in Orlando, FL for the 40th Anniversary of Bauhaus Ruby Tour with David J. The night seemed ill-fated when Peter was unable to perform, but was revitalized when she joined David J, Curse Mackey, Mark Gemini-Thwaite and Marc Slutsky for an impromptu performance of Bauhaus tunes.

In 2020, unable to tour due to the shutdowns, she began producing the television series, Villains Wear Black Presents, which ran for 2 seasons on television and streaming worldwide.

In mid 2021, SINE was signed with the Austin, TX based electronic industrial record label, eMERGENCY heARTS (eH) in a perfect pairing for both the artist and the label.

The initial SINE release with eMERGENCY heARTS is entitled, Desire, Denial and Paramania, which as released on October 7, 2021. It’s an 11 track collection featuring select songs from SINE’s albums, INSOMNIÆ and Injected, recorded between the years 2016-2020 and includes collaborations with Curse Mackey (Pigface, Evil Mothers, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult), producer Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, 3Teeth, Slayer) and legendary industrial vocalist Chris Connelly (Ministry, Revolting Cocks, Pigface) with remixes by Jack Dangers (Meat Beat Manifesto) and more.

2021 also saw SINE collaborations with remixes from Mark Pistel (Consolidated!), Adrian Sherwood (Tackhead) and Black Sugar Transmission (Andee Blacksugar – KMFDM, Blondie). The new EP trilogy, Mantis, will be released on eMERGENCY heARTS, along with more collaborations in 2022.

She continues to write new music and work on future collaborations in music and television.

†††

SINE weaves dance beats with industrial noise and layers of booming bass, synths and guitars into a mix of jagged textures and dark, lush fusions equally at home on the dance floor, video games and cinematic soundtracks.

TikTok: https://tiktok.com/@hadeedosani
Facebook: https://facebook.com/hadeedosaniofficial

Hailing from the sunshine state, HADEE. is an Alt-Rock artist who has burned his way into the minds of all listeners who come across him. Taking influence from 80s post-punk & new-wave, emo/goth rock, and a touch of classic film noir, HADEE. finishes off this stylistic blend with a balanced mix of modernity. Laced with driving basslines and contagious melodies that bleed nostalgia, HADEE. cuts through the noise, delivering everything you want and didn’t know you needed. With only one year down, he has already amassed a dedicated audience and interest that extends beyond his home base of South Florida, as well as shared the stage with such established acts like Mayday Parade and BOYS LIKE GIRLS, all while still being an independent artist. He was also selected to perform at the 2023 Richmond International Film Festival in which he had taken home the RIFF “Rising Star – Rock Band” Award. HADEE. plans to begin the new year strong with the release of his first EP as well as a string of in-and-out town shows, including a highly-anticipated show date at the Viper Room in Los Angeles on January 6th. As evolution takes its course, it is clear that HADEE. is not willing to be defined by one sound. The Gemini nature of his style further intrigues the listener, keeping them unsure of which song they enjoy more, and even more uncertain of what may follow next.“Every scene has a soundtrack”. HADEE.’s latest single, “POISON IVY” proves the alt-rocker has no plans of stopping now.

With a sound difficult to define or confine to simply one genre, J.L.G is best described as an ethereal Post-punk (ish), New Wave (ish), Goth (ish), Funk (ish) Rock (ish) four-piece band hailing out of South Florida. Formally coming together as a full-fledged band circa June 2022, J.L.G has been growing steadily playing the South Florida circuit, endearing audiences with their infectious energy, unapologetic authenticity, quirkiness, and care-free one-of-a-kind stage presence and live performances, gaining a loyal and passionate following along the way. Blending elements of cinema (specifically horror), theatre, and music, J.L.G is keen on giving an unforgettable sensory experience, offering their audience a space to be and express their most primal selves. Simply put, J.L.G is a can’t miss experience led by its members’ feverish desire to entertain and give the people something to think about long after the show is over, the lights are off and the curtain is closed.

Twin Tribes “Pendulum Tour 2024” with Urban Heat + Dancing Plague – Miami – 3/28/24

Heroes Live Entertainment presents Twin Tribes “Pendulum Tour 2024” with special guests Urban Heat, Dancing Plague, and DJ Dino on Thursday, March 28, 2024 @ Gramps in Miami. This is Twin Tribes’ debut Miami show!

Tickets: https://twintribesmiami.eventbrite.com

7:00PM (Doors) | 8:00PM (Show) | 21+

 

Hailing from Texas, Twin Tribes is an emerging force in the darkwave scene, turning heads in 2018 with the release of their debut album “Shadows” that featured dark melodic sounds, synthesizers, lyrics about the undead, and the occult and parallel universes. They returned in 2020 with the ten-track album “Ceremony” with an evolved sound that explored love and loss while showcasing their progression as a band.

With songs that are both dynamic and introspective, they balance the darker shades of the emotional spectrum with an energy and momentum that gifts their music a powerful sense of urgency and drama. Their lyrics dig deep into the personal turmoil of love, life and loss, and have forged a new aesthetic that fuses the gothic with the romantic, viewing emotional themes through a darker lens.

As their second LP gains increasing critical and commercial attention, these pillars of the independent music scene continue to re-define what genres such as darkwave and post-punk mean in 2023.

The Hails “What’s Your Motive Tour” + Cannibal Kids – Miami – 9/30/23

Heroes Live Entertainment presents The Hails + Cannibal Kids on Saturday, September 30th, 2023 @ The Ground at Club Space in Miami. Join us for their homecoming show on the What’s Your Motive Tour!

Tickets: https://thehails.eventbrite.com

Following a string of encounters too strange to be coincidence, Robbie Kingsley, Franco Solari, Dylan McCue, Andre Escobar, and Zach Levy came together to form The Hails. Despite first playing in an insular Miami high school music scene, the band officially formed at the University of Florida in Gainesville, turning the tattered carpeting and beer bottle-lined shelves of their shitty college house into a distinct, refined sound that is now synonymous with their name.

After graduation, the group made the pilgrimage back to their home of Miami, the city that directly influenced the sound of their early shimmering singles “Younger” and “Stay”, debut EP He Seems Upset (2020), and the subsequent Alive in Strange Ways (2021). Recent highlights of the road include holding court at festivals including WonderStruck, Okeechobee, and Playground, interspersed between sold-out shows across the state of Florida. The first half of 2022 also saw The Hails join WILLIS for West and East Coast dates.

Firing the starting pistol of their next chapter, The Hails released “Exonerate” in October 2022, ushering in a flood of editorial praise from Billboard, Consequence, EARMILK, and many others excited by the direction the Miami five-piece is headed in. The same weekend as the single’s release, The Hails took it to the stage of Miami’s infamous III Points Festival, winning the crowd’s energy over with a track that had only been out for 24 hours.

In 2023 The Hails plan to release singles building towards a forthcoming debut album, and will continue to build their touring history starting with a southeastern run of shows with The Happy Fits and The Beaches.

Head Automatica

Head Automatica is the somewhat unlikely pairing of vocalist Daryl Palumbo (of New York City’s hardcore outfit Glassjaw) and producer Dan the Automator (aka Dan Nakamura of Gorillaz, Handsome Boy Modeling School). Introduced by mutual friends, the duo began work on their debut, aiming for a sound somewhere in between the Automator‘s beats and squiggles and Palumbo’s penchant for rock and punk. When Decadence appeared in late summer 2004, its groove was just that — a bright and trashy mix of electronics and rock & roll, the kind of thing for which late nights were made. Palumbo and Automator put together a road band and toured in support of the record, sharing shows with such disparate acts as Lostprophets, Thrice, Interpol, and the Rapture along the way. However, Palumbo’s ongoing battle with Crohn’s disease, which the singer suffered from since childhood, continued to give him problems while on the road; various tour dates had to be canceled as he spent time in hospitals to receive treatment.

The frontman continued to relapse as work on Head Automatica’s sophomore effort began; his sickness persisted during the bulk of the recording process. The band — now comprised of Palumbo, drummer Larry Gorman (ex-Glassjaw), bassist Jarvis Morgan Holden (ex-Give Up the Ghost), guitarist Craig Bonich, and keyboardist Jessie Nelson — enlisted the talents of producer Howard Benson to help create an album with a “bright, crisp sound.” The resulting Popaganda was issued in June 2006. It proved to be an aptly named album that, without Dan the Automator around, largely lacked the electronics of Decadence, instead boasting a relatively more straightforward guitar sound largely influenced by late-’70s pop. A subsequent summer tour was spent opening for Taking Back Sunday alongside Angels and Airwaves and the Subways.

We Were Promised Jetpacks + Breakup Shoes – West Palm Beach – 10/19/22

Heroes Live Entertainment presents We Were Promised Jetpacks with special guests Breakup Shoes on October 19 @ Respectable Street in West Palm Beach. The celebrated Scottish rock band is excited to announce U.S. Fall tour dates in support of their critically-acclaimed album Enjoy the View out now via Big Scary Monsters.

Tickets: https://wwpj.eventbrite.com

Half bracing post-punk and half tuneful indie pop, We Were Promised Jetpacks formed while they were still attending high school in Edinburgh. Fifteen years into their career, the trio is more focused than ever.

We Were Promised Jetpacks

 

We Were Promised Jetpacks’ tender, delicate poise is still stunning and heartbreaking in equal measure. – Flood Magazine 

The frothy melodies, spiraling guitar riffs, and catchy refrains of this newfound aesthetic suits the band well and make Enjoy the View one of the year’s more stimulating aural
experiences. – Under The Radar 

Single “Fat Chance” reveals a surprise partway through, emerging as an anthem about overcoming long odds, doing “a complete 180” and climbing out of the ruins, stronger than ever. – NPR Music

Scottish post-punk outfit We Were Promised Jetpacks’ fifth album Enjoy the View is many things at once: A quiet rumination on past relationships, a strain of optimism for the future, an ode to open-road guitar music and a nod to the band’s best-known, angular musicianship and intense live shows. – Atwood Magazine


Since releasing 2018’s ‘The More I Sleep The Less I Dream’, We Were Promised Jetpacks’ Adam Thompson, Sean Smith, and Darren Lackie have embraced change head-on. Amicably parting ways with guitarist Michael Palmer, leaving a notable empty fourth corner in their practice room, it marked a transitory moment in the band’s acclaimed career and one that would be cemented by events to come.

Entering 2020 as a trio with a handful of songs written and a small tour under their belts, the world around them came to a sudden halt. Yet despite the unquestionable hardship that the lockdown brought with it, for a band looking to rebuild following a dramatic change, it also proved to be a blessing in disguise.

“I guess it ended up being a lot more collaborative between the three of us,” Sean notes of their fifth studio record, ‘Enjoy The View’. Unable to meet in person, the album began to take shape across countless files bouncing back and forth between their respective Edinburgh homes. As well as providing the space to think more broadly about their own roles in the band, isolation also allowed them to approach their collective sound in new ways.

“If you’re trying to write a part when two other people are smashing their instruments it’s not the easiest thing,” Adam laughs. “Writing remotely, you could mute parts and work on things in your head. It just gave us a bit more creative freedom to try different things.” For Darren, separated from his kit, drumming became an entirely digital venture. “I could be a bit freer,” he notes, immediately backed up by his bandmates. “It was nice for Darren to have the space to try something he normally couldn’t,” Adam smiles, celebrating the opportunity for the trio to switch up their songwriting process. 

With the space to focus on the structure of the songs over what is immediately possible in a practice room, the band shifted gears. “We’ve always considered ourselves a live band more than a studio band,” Darren notes, explaining how the past twelve months have forced a change. “This was more about focussing on making a really great album rather than thinking about how we play it live. Let’s make an album that’s just slightly different for us.”

The result, ‘Enjoy The View’, is also the product of a more settled band. Fifteen years into their career, the trio is more focused than ever. “We are doing this for ourselves and the people who like our music and get something out of it,” Adam gleams, “I’m really excited about being able to show them the new record.” 

“I’ve had a really nice time writing this album,” he states matter-of-factly, signaling his appreciation to his bandmates. “We’re all very appreciative of the people who are still listening to us,” Darren adds, “it pushes us to keep getting better”. Nodding to both the band and their ever-loyal fans, Adam agrees. “It is very much our band, and we do this because we can do it together.”

Emerging from the heyday of the Phoenix house show scene, Breakup Shoes’ intimate yet celebratory style derives from their DIY origins as down-and-out college roommates. Their earliest tracks gave a unique expression to the long Arizona summer through a crafty blend of west coast beach rock mellowed out by a bedroom pop charm, which quickly earned a cult following with debut EP Nicotine Dream. Their first full-length record, Unrequited Love (& other clichés), propelled the band to a national audience and earned them gigs with Soccer Mommy, Men I Trust, No Vacation and more. Follow up record So Money, Baby pairs Zawisa’s sweet melodies with a rich production style and brought the band their first full national tour with Summer Salt. Their most recent EP, 2021’s Narratives, finds the band in a smoother, more mature sound that matches Zawisa’s reflective lyrics, yearning for simpler times in complex tones. Breakup Shoes consists of Phoenix locals Nick Zawisa (lyricist/vocalist), Matthew Witsoe (drums), John MacLeod (guitar/bass), and Jake Peña (bass/guitar).

Round up the troops! of Montreal return to South Florida for another exciting show to promote their new album “I Feel Safe With You, Trash”.

The Athens band’s recorded material can be divided into two distinct periods. Their early work focused on 60s-tinged pop and psychedelic elements channeled through the prism of Kevin Barnes’s unique lyricism. In more recent years of Montreal’s style changed to a mixture of electronica, funk, glam, and afrobeat music influenced by Prince and David Bowie.

After a particularly rough solo performance in 2018 when one of her own friends talked loudly throughout her set, Christina Schneider exited the venue and told herself, “If they’re not even going to listen, then I’m fucking done.” It wasn’t quite the feeling she’d hoped for after dedicating her life to creating subversive, genre-fluid pop music. Working under various aliases since 2014 — including CE Schneider Topical, Jepeto Solutions, Christina Schneider’s Genius Grant and now Locate S,1 — she’s explored everything from groovy garage rock to minimalist
bedroom pop to Syd Barrett-style psychedelia.
