Sunset Tavern, yayyyy!

Part Donna Summer, part The Electric Company, Mantraband is a sing along, dance along, disco catharsis joy cult. The synthy dance club vibes are the music baby of Matt Manges on drums (Circus Contraption, Annie Ford Band, Orkestar Zirkonium), Doug Arney on bass (Correspondents), and Sari Breznau (Flotsam River Circus, Up Up Up Crane Truck Circus, Future Fridays) on synth and trumpet, with the help of the Mantraband Friends Fellowship Society, a choir of true believers, on vocals. Unabashedly positive, Mantraband is here to uplift, unite, dork out, and get down.

Crawling their way out of the seattle underground avante garde, L80 (pronounced like lady) is a two person dark wave performance art duo.
L80 (Chadka and Tony James) is a force to be reckoned with. Solely through efforts of their labor alone, they execute every single part of the creative process; from production to video.

The Canadian Romantic is a character created by Robert Dayton, a melodramatic figure of faded glamour who tries to bridge and explore the gap between Canada and romance with somewhat dubious results. So far he exists through live performance (having performed across Canada and the U.S.A.), a series of videos, an album with music by Marker Starling (unreleased), a lenticular winking photo, a doll and an art book.
