Pearl Earl is a neo-psychedelic quartet founded by frontwoman Ariel Hartley (guitar/vocals) and drummer Bailey K Chapman in Denton, TX. Now located in Los Angeles.

With heavy nods to spacey prog rock and golden era glam rock, Pearl Earl has the ability to invoke the cosmic nostalgia of the past while carving new territory of its own neo-psychedelic universe. Once described as “Pink Floyd in the sunlight” the band’s live performances are captivating and euphoric with an ominous grin.

Their music is edgy, and has a broad range of flavors that go along with trippy psychedelic melodies and even heavy doomy riffs at times.

The band has done several tours in the US and shared the stage with such bands as Oh Sees, Post Animal, The Black Angels, Acid Dad, Frankie and The Witch Fingers, Black Lips, Allah-las and played major festivals such as Levitation and SXSW.

Pearl Earl is releasing their second album, “It’s Dread” via Green Witch Records (NYC) in June 2023 and are available for touring USA in June July, August. Europe/UK in September 2023.

Ari Blaisdell and Matt Jones are System Exclusive: a Pasadena based two piece band bearing an armful of mini synths, making heart-throbbing capital P pop cut with more than a hint of post-punk. Blaisdell’s vocals hearken back to openhearted 80’s hitmakers unafraid to quaver in the name of love, and they’re buoyed by Jones’ laser-gridded synth concoctions and heavy hand on the ones and twos.

Comprised of a group of childhood friends from Prairieville, LA, Midriff have spent the last five years developing their sound on stages around New Orleans and engaging with the community by curating the annual block party Tunesfest. Their highly anticipated debut, Beach Pharmacy, is a testament to this quintet's long-standing friendship: its eight songs speak to camaraderie and shared experience over the band's engaging blend of modern psychedelia, electric folk and wide-eyed surf rock
