Since their inception in Cincinnati in 2016, Lung has gained a cult-like following with their impeccable, candy-coated, melodies atop a whirring, chainsaw, thunderclap of cello and drums. Lung consists of Kate Wakefield, a classically trained opera singer, cellist and now a member of The Breeders, along with local show booker and former Foxy Shazam bassist Daisy Caplan on drums. Fierce, ethereal, and heavy as hell, Lung plays with the intensity of early grunge layered with sinister undertones. Described as "loud, dissonant, innovative, and fearless" (Fair Shakes and Just Dessert), Wakefield runs her cello through distortion pedals and big amps, while Caplan pounds out earthquaking beats on epic horn-shaped vintage drums.

For seven years, three friends gather nearly every Sunday morning in a makeshift studio space at an industrial park just outside of Los Angeles, to play loud music influenced by a collective love of brash indie and alternative rock & roll. A lot of things evolve over those seven years - marriages happen, kids are born, jobs are changed. But the music persists, and it evolves too. Personnel: Vic Lazar - guitar, vocals Michael Jung - bass Steven Aguilera - drums

Hearing Things is a high-energy power trio fueled by the songwriting of LA musician Tony Crouse, mixing power-pop hooks with post-punk snarl. The band cuts straight to the point with big melodies, sharp guitars, and rhythms that don’t quit. After years of touring, studio work, and playing with acts across the LA scene, Tony built Hearing Things as a no-nonsense outlet for tight, melodic songs that punch above their weight. It’s a project that balances punch and precision, nothing extra, built for small rooms, loud nights, and anyone who likes their pop hooks with some grit under the nails.
