Head Automatica, which began as the brainchild of Daryl Palumbo and Dan The Automator, has returned with Version 3 of the projector. This new, electro, synth-driven sound leans on its past while reaching to the distant future. HA V3 are playing select shows across the country with a couple festival appearances. Join them for headline dates in Chicago, LA and SF this fall where they’ll tap into old hits as well as showcasing some new material.

System Exclusive are Ari B and Matt Jones – a SF based, Pasadena, CA originated duo, balancing the hard edged electronic pulse of old school synthwerks against hot-under-the-collar live drums and slashing post-punk guitar. Ari’s melismatic alto completes the triangle, crowning the cyborg-rock compositions with a torn and vulnerable human edge. Faced with the near-impossible task of making a living in California while working as touring musicians, they put their life in storage, put a bed in the van, and have been living wherever the shows take them. On a mission to make strangers misty in the disco throughout the US, UK, and Europe…and wherever else fine records are sold. In May 2024 they released their sophomore LP "Click" with Parisian label Le Cèpe Records in conjunction with Sacramento-based pop boutique label Mt St Mtn. It's the follow up to their seismic self titled debut on Castle Face Records. The duo was out on the road for their headliner in Spring 2025 tour, from the West Coast out to the Midwest, to record with Sweeping Promises.   They will be releasing a new album in fall 2026.
