Dylan Hadley and Cole Berliner formed Kamikaze Palm Tree in their hometown of San Francisco in 2015. Being lifelong friends and collaborators, the duo imagined a debut album and performance that brings together their noise rock background, with the theatrical and the epic. This debut EP was self released under the title The Hand Faces Upwards, was followed by a live record recorded at Berkeley’s KALX in 2018. The band signed on Mudguts in 2019 and released Good Boy to critical acclaim. With a penchant for the disparate, and psychedelic, the progression of their sound is far from linear.
Weirdo bedroom pop in the So-Cal style of the 21st century — a bit of lo-fi, a funky ripple, some psyched-out post-wave... Kevin Boog, the bassist for The Meatbodies, got up to this when no one else was around. Peeking inside, we get a trippy world wound up in songs that never stop moving and make our ears strain for more. Shifting speeds, chopping up and blending new wave funk and glam styles in an acid-wash with full production wack, making up a set of truly beyond out-there pop songs. Working tactically backwards, Oog Bogo is a real live band, with Mike Kriebel, Thomas Alvarez, and Shelby Jacobson from around the way. Inspired to jam by the sudden existence of a record, they’re bound to have an incalculable effect on Oog Bogo.
‘Moonily is a 90s influenced art/dream grunge trio from Ventura and Los Angeles, CA formed in 2016 as a solo project by frontwoman Marissa Trujillo. The early days of Moonily can be found on SoundCloud, phone recordings of looped guitar and bass with vocals recorded over; simple and imperfect but dark and dreamy. Today Moonily consists of Trujillo on guitar/vocals, Safaa Kaderi on bass and Alison Berry on drums. Made up of heavy drums and a driving bass, the intricate melodies of the guitar creates an almost fairy-like ambiance. Listening will make you fall in love with the Moon.’
