Linda From Work – Seeing Red
about taking back power from oppressors and turning the tables to deliver the most satisfying retribution!

Here’s who we played:

Union Morbide – Use Of Wondering
Now, 35 years later, the original vinyl has been lovingly digitized, remixed, and remastered using modern tools — without sacrificing an ounce of the grit or authenticity that made the song what it was. The result? A blast from the past that hits harder than ever.
During their ten-year run, Union Morbide released a steady stream of music across LPs, CDs, tapes, and compilations — each one a snapshot of the time, the struggle, and the scene

J’cuuzi – You Can’t Wallow With Us
Whether you call them a band, a performing art troupe, or a drag family; J’cuuzi has set a pace of expansion and experimentation that proves there’s is an act worth watching.

WeatheredMan and The Noise – History
a tight, scratchy, angular track from their upcoming album, Still Economy. Built on heavy drums and sharp riffs, it’s direct and restless and loud and rough.

BIBLIOTEKA – Delusional
a loud, sweaty, genre-blurring power trio from Seattle, WA. Their sound is described as a sugar rush of garage rock from a piece of chewing gum you found in the alley of the Seattle underground.

Saint Rock – Yellow Double Sun
A nostalgic ode to a fleeting summer romance – intense, fleeting, and full of light

T.M/O – Wilson
this track is a lyrically defiant journey through burning bridges and systems that do not serve you.

Here’s who we played:

Velcro Sunset – Stuck
Classic pop punk, straight from the heart of Berkeley

Chico Detour – Loma Prieta (Walk You Home)
Think The Sonics meets Ritchie Valens

Lloyd & The Leftovers – Spin The Wheel
Harmonica and unconventional percussion add a country twang to Lloyd & The Leftovers’ indie folk/rock sound in their album’s title track ‘Spin The Wheel’. Built from strings of emotions, this single is packed with the authenticity that Lloyd & The Leftovers is known for.

Maddison Kate – More To Me
This gentle song explores the overwhelming feelings about being better off without someone unless they grow and change, and hoping for that change regardless. With her enchanting voice and delicate composition, this song is an introspective and meditative folk-pop number that moves like a playful dance.

Belle B – Caballo Andaluz
A sensual, Latin ballad with a pulse that moves like a slow dance.

The Awkward Middle – Because I Forgot My Meds
“While the title is humorous,” Perry states, “the track is actually about why I had to put my career on hold for a long time… because I didn’t take the best care of myself and had to pay the price for it.”

a two-piece heavy rock girlband out of Olympia, WA

Hiccup Heart – Raspberry Smile
a nostalgic journey through alternative dream pop and rock, with touches of shoegaze.

EDIE – Girl’s Girl
This tune is versatile and addictive, the kind of song that can be listened to as a background track or really heard with the meaning of it raining down.

Kitty-May – Our Place
Hauntingly laid back vocals float over a powerfully chord driven sound pushed along by some low-fi hip hop beat to create something timeless and interesting in the singer songwriter genre.
Weaving together a sound that is both electronic and organic in a truly sonically pleasing way Kitty-May has really come into her own.

LAMMPING – Never Never
blends psych rock with hip-hop production, fuzzy riffs, and crate-digger aesthetics.

Rooskin – Long For Nothing (I Got You)
I have been playing this band for awhile and it seems they are gaining in notoriety as they are about to release more music!

Blending bossa nova, soul, Latin grooves, jazz colours, and contemporary indie sounds

San Gabriel – Over My Shoulder
San Gabriel’s debut record, “Nights and Weekends,” is a collection of synth-forward, optimistically melancholic songs, chronicling Bookert’s tackling of lost love, grief, and grappling with an uncertain future both musically and professionally.

Sweet Unrest – Sunshine
Torn up poems flung over grooving hysteria

Parallel States – Girlz R Bad
A comment on the current dating world and a deeper meaning than at first glance this catchy lightning-fast-paced tune will scratch that angsty pop punk itch for anyone feeling post slam dunk blues

Avista Band – Headphones on
the perfect soundtrack for late-night introspection or focused creativity.

Our Man In The Field – Thin (I used to be bullet proof)
The band’s debut album “The Company of Strangers” is re-released in a remix by producer Lawrence Biancardi. In Dolby Atmos, every creak, breath, and dusty harmony surrounds us, revealing textures that were just waiting to be uncovered. Their signature heady blend of Americana and Soul has grown richer, but this remains a powerful document of their roots.

Split System – Chemicals
a snarling, high-tempo burner about being out of sync with the world and leaning into it anyway.

Duncan Lloyd – Laugh So Loud
Lyrically, it is about doubt. There is a lot of pretending things are fine and hiding from the reality of the world outside or not discussing the real problems publically for fear of reprisal, so itʼs a reaction to the sedentary state of mind,” says Duncan Lloyd.

Hannah Duckworth – Knockout
a fierce, high-energy anthem built to ignite the stage and the speakers.

Light-footed, carefree soul-pop
