Chinese American Bear is a lighthearted and quirky mandopop duo from Seattle, creating fun & eclectic bilingual English/Chinese ear candy. Comprised of Anne Tong and Bryce Barsten, the married couple creates groovy, and “not too serious, food loving” tunes in their home studio together.  Their sound, somewhere between The Flaming Lips, The B-52’s, MGMT, and a hypercolor cartoon, has earned tens of millions of streams and global acclaim. They’ve been featured in VOGUE+, Paste Magazine, Under the Radar, celebrated by BBC Radio and KEXP (#1 album), and spotlighted across major Spotify playlists including All New Indie, Indie’s Top 50, Fresh Finds (#1 cover track), Bedroom Pop, Chill Vibes, and more. They toured internationally with the release of their second album Wah!!! including 15 cities in China, multiple trips to the UK, dozens of festivals, and support for the pop star/internet phenomenon Poppy (USA), and Greer (USA). Their music has been featured in the film The Wedding Banquet, Apple TV series Platonic, EA’s “Skate” video game, an Apple commercial, and more. Their newest 12 track album Dim Sum & Then Sum will release in May 2026 with Moshi Moshi Records. The band plans to tour extensively across the USA, Europe, and Asia afterwards.

Indigo Elephant is a Bay Area-based indie rock band writing music for the in-between moments. Comprised of Julius Pasion (drums), Cliff Yang (guitar), and Brenden Phung (guitar, synth), the band gained wider attention following the release of their 2024 debut studio album, The Art of Erosion. Evoking artists such as Wallows, The 1975, and Men I Trust, the album represents each member as openly as possible, smashing all their desires together and making sense of the madness. Within that chaos lies vulnerability, and sometimes even understanding. Their eclectic sound and groovy arrangements have led to features on KEXP and Live 105, as well as support slots for artists such as Sure Sure, Naked Giants, and Spiritual Cramp. With the addition of new member Levi Storm (bass), Indigo Elephant is moving towards what truly feels like their sound.
