SUMMARY:Magic City Hippies w/ Supertaste
DESCRIPTION:Magic City Hippies have carved out a distinct place in the indie landscape\, blending Miami’s sun-soaked swagger with infectious funk\, psych-pop\, and danceable grooves. What began as the Robby Hunter Band evolved in 2015 with the release of Magic City Hippies\, the album that gave the trio its name and solidified a sound both laid-back\nand relentlessly kinetic.\nSince then\, the band has built a reputation for genre-fluid songwriting and high-energy performances\, earning spots at major festivals including Bonnaroo\, Austin City Limits\, and Lollapalooza. Their early Hippie Castle EP (2015) introduced their signature mix of poolside melodies and weekend-ready rhythms. Modern Animal (2019) expanded that\npalette with a deeper\, beachside sensibility\, while Water Your Garden (2022) served as a psychedelic post-pandemic celebration of connection and self-expression.\nIn 2024\, the band returned with a run of stylistically diverse singles\, from the disco-funk of “Givin’ Up On Lovin’” (featuring NoMBe) to the acid-house-tinged psych-pop of “I Can’t Let You Go”\, culminating in Enemies (2025)\, a groove-centered breakup album full of emotionally charged\, rhythm-driven tracks. Marrying an indie-rock punch with\nnostalgic\, synth-forward textures\, Enemies reflects a group willing to evolve without losing the essence of their sound.\nThough their recordings have drawn both critical and fan acclaim\, Magic City Hippies are best known for their live shows: sweaty\, exuberant\, and effortlessly engaging. Their ability to convert casual listeners into loyal fans is no accident\, it’s the result of years of relentless touring\, musical chemistry\, and an unapologetic commitment to making every show feel like a celebration. \n\n \n\nSupertaste\nSupertaste’s debut album “Supernova” is some of the most disco-forward sonics and ambitious thematics from the band to date. The record’s journey pulls you on a cosmic flight path from takeoff\, to deep space flight\, to a breakthrough back into the earth’s atmosphere. \nThrough yearly retreats to a cabin in Tennessee to hone in their sound\, Brooklyn-based Supertaste has developed a colossal atmosphere of sparkling synths\, Chic-inspired guitar riffs\, and unforgettable hooks. \nWhether you run into them late night at a bodega ordering sandwiches or on-stage performing\, you’ll always be met with a smile. The Supertaste Cinematic Universe only continues to expand. Expect some big moments and bigger jams.

SUMMARY:Built To Spill - Benefit to End The Ban w/ Blood Lemon\, Plum Vision
DESCRIPTION:Built to Spill was formed in 1993 by Doug Martsch and over the years they have toured extensively and made several albums with a rotating cast of musicians\, currently featuring Teresa Esguerra (Prism Bitch) on drums\, and Melanie Radford (Blood Lemon) on bass. \n\n \n\nBlood Lemon\nThe desert often represents scarcity\, a place where few signs of life can be found. For the women in Blood Lemon\, however\, trading their homebase in the high desert of Boise\, Idaho for the low desert in Joshua Tree\, California would prove to be the right choice to give the five songs found on Petite Deaths their final form. \n“Small bursts of either pleasure or despair\,” says bassist and vocalist Melanie Radford of the collection comprising Blood Lemon’s sophomore release. “I think what came out was something eclectic and mystic\,” she added. Using the seemingly scant resources of the Mojave\, Radford\, guitarist and vocalist Lisa Simpson\, and drummer/percussionist Lindsey Lloyd\, culled together their strongest set of songs to date. \nWorking alongside esteemed fuzz lord Dave Catching (Desert Sessions\, Queens of the Stone Age\, earthlings?) at the storied Rancho De La Luna studio\, the band treated the sessions as a retreat rather than a routine visit to a recording studio. To make the most of the time away from Boise\, the band stayed in an adjacent bungalow on the property\, seizing an opportunity to “briefly get away from distractions in our immediate lives\,” says Radford. \nBlood Lemon\, a mainstay of the Boise scene despite Radford’s recent move to nearby Seattle\, received plenty of praise for their eponymous debut released in the throes of the pandemic. NPR Music\, A.V. Club\, SPIN\, and other outlets of repute lauded their debut that garnered comparisons to other beloved female-fronted influences like Sleater-Kinney and The Breeders. Following celebrated appearances at Treefort Music Fest in their hometown as well as dates supporting avant-garage heavy hitters The Shivas and viral goth-punks Vision Video\, the band crafted a collection of songs with widened emotional registers when Radford was on break from serving as the current bassist of indie stalwarts Built To Spill. \nWhile the songs on Petite Deaths are\, no doubt\, less overtly political than the band’s debut LP\, they are no less provocative. The record’s opener\, “High Tide\,” explores Simpson’s fascination with “concepts around sensuality and completion” and “what other languages and cultures called an orgasm.” Echoing the aforementioned Breeders’ penchant for blending distorted guitars with entrancing female vocals\, the track provides plenty of overdrive alongside lyrics that speak to our animalistic tendency to seduce and be seduced. Thoroughly couched in metaphor\, Simpson’s lyrics might still pass as classroom-appropriate in her new role as a teacher at her daughter’s elementary school in Boise. \nOther songs on the collection put Radford’s ethereal vocals and erudite bass playing on full display\, often branching out into new territory. For example\, “Her Shadow” was “an experiment on how to collaborate differently\,” says Radford of using Lloyd’s pre-written lyrics as a basis to develop melodies and chords around. A sludged-out reworking of Jessica Pratt’s “Mountain’r Lower” also gives plenty of room for the band’s psychedelic and more other-worldly influences to shine through. With searing lead guitars and pulsing rhythms\, the collection’s first single\, “Perfect Too\,” offers a scathing critique of contemporary culture’s tendency to sell perfectionism without any promise of moral salvation. \n“Mudlark\,” another song with Simpson’s voice at the forefront\, is equally full of wonder. Inspired by Scottish actor Sam Heughan’s review of Mudlarking\, a novel by Lara Maiklem\, the song explores the theme of scavengers who meander riverbanks for hidden treasures. An “unabashed” fan of Heughan’s work as an actor and author\, Simpson gravitated towards imagery in his review of the novel\, and in her words\, of “a person being a possession that ends up being tossed away\, and hidden beneath the surface of the riverbed.” The result\, an expansively melancholic track that crescendos into one of the band’s signature dirges toward the end of its six-plus minutes of runtime\, exhibits how the band can hold an audience’s attention with songs longer than those conforming to traditional radio formats. \nBeyond the expansiveness of the desert influencing the sonic landscape of Petite Deaths\, birth also became a central component of the album’s creative force. Following the recording sessions\, Lloyd soon learned that she would be expecting the birth of her first daughter\, Zenith. Lloyd’s dedication to the band was underscored when the band performed a show in the winter of 2023 in the last weeks of her pregnancy. Well aware that scheduling any major life decisions while playing in an active band can be difficult\, Lloyd notes that “the timing of making the record couldn’t have been better.” \nAs the final notes fade and captured sounds of coyotes howling in the Mojave fill the silence\, the listener is immersed in the stark beauty of the desert and the transformative power of collaboration. Petite Deaths is a testament to how these three women continue to invent – and reinvent – themselves through a shared love of song and embracing change with resourcefulness. The album stands as a powerful statement\, echoing with the vastness of the desert and the intimate journey of creation\, both musical and personal. \n\n\n \n\nPlum Vision\nPlum Vision is an all girl punk/alternative rock trio from Boise\, ID\, composed of Kiyah Amanie\, Ella Thurston\, and Megan Miller. \nWith aggressive yet playful energy that harkens back to groups from The Runaways to Hole\, Plum Vision’s sound is the best of ‘90s Seattle riot grrrl punk with a heavy dose of late ‘70s psych rock. \nSeamlessly balancing between sweet-voiced melodies and hard-hitting power cords\, Plum Vision does not shy away from big feelings and sucker punch lyrics that cut to the bone.
