We are beyond stoked to be joined by our Day One headliner, :

“A soul-powered rock band on the heavier end of the shoegaze spectrum, the Veldt are dream pop at their core yet just as known for driving riffs and stirring vocals. Led by Daniel and Danny Chavis, identical twin brothers who proudly cited the likes of and as inspirations in early interviews, the Veldt were misunderstood from their late-‘80s beginning.”

Another act playing Day Two — .pdx:
“Kallai (sounds like ‘call-eye’) celebrates the sound of the timeless, the places that never were, and the futures that may never be. Waves
of reverb-soaked guitars break and give way to a synthesized haze suspended over a verge of melodic bass lines and flowing rhythms. Their songs tell stories of melancholy and hope that are sentimental yet sardonic, dreamlike but real, and always emotionally true.
Kallai was formed in the summer of 2023 by members of Trance to the Sun, Luscious Apparatus and Lost Echoes. While inspired by the post-punk, shoegaze and doom acts of the past few decades, Kallai’s perspective is evolving with those scenes and seeking to spin sounds that unfold throughout time.”

Tickets now on sale! 🎶

We featured a couple of acts playing Day One of the festival last week, so why not a couple of acts playing Day Two this week? First up we have the superb :

"Northern California-based quintet Soft Science is "deeply invested [and] honest in their approach to find something new" (The Chicagoist) while maintaining their pop sensibilities. Once described as having "the potential to become one of the great Left Coast power pop bands" (Popmatters), the band's sonic evolution has led to an exploration of the noisier side of dream pop with glimmers of dark wave on their fourth LP, Lines (Shelflife Records - US | Spinout Nuggets - UK | Fastcut Records - Japan)."

Next up in our about the bands series is Seattle's :

"somesurprises is the musical project of Egyptian/English American songwriter and guitarist Natasha El-Sergany. Born in Letterkenny, Ireland, and raised in the north of England before moving to Florida at age ten, El-Sergany eventually found home in the evergreen mist of Seattle, WA. What began as a bedroom project focused on spectral balladry and late-night exploration has evolved into a dynamic four-piece band. Motorik beats, reverb-drenched vocals, washes of fingerpicked guitars, and hazy synths expand El-Sergany’s delicate and blissful songwriting.

Perseids, the band’s first new album since 2019, hearkens back to the raw and powerful voice memos that started the project. El-Sergany recorded and demoed tracks in near isolation beginning in early 2021 at Seattle’s legendary Crybaby Studios. Cellist Lori Goldston (Earth, Nirvana) and long-time musical partner Josh Medina provided contributions remotely, before the band reunited later that year at ExEx Audio with producer Paurl Walsh. Bassist Laura Seniow and drummer Nico Sophiea provided drive and rhythmic grounding for the initial skeletal songs. Vocalist Jessika Kenney (Sunn O))), Midsommar) added life and meaning to the album’s title track, drawing inspiration from Islamic poetic tradition central to El-Sergany’s vision for the album. Musically, the album draws from a variety of influences, including Stereolab, Cluster, Broadcast, Neu!, Mazzy Star, and Nick Drake. El-Sergany and band are however, uniquely their own, combining elements of shoegaze, dreampop, drone rock, and experimental improvisation. Perseids releases on April 19th, 2024 via LA’s Doom Trip Records."
