Dust Bowl Faeries
Dust Bowl Faeries perform a faerie-tale fusion of freak-folk and polka-punk music, infused with a dose of witchcraft and a dusting of woodland magic. Hailing from the NY Hudson Valley, the band plays original songs inspired by tango, circus, flamenco, Balkan and Romani swing music. Singing saw, accordion, guitars and percussion combine to create the Dust Bowl Faeries otherworldly sound.
Golem
Klezmer-rock band Golem was founded by Annette Ezekiel Kogan in New York City, and since then, the band (Annette Ezekiel Kogan, Aaron Diskin, Jeremy Brown, Curtis Hasselbring, Taylor Bergren-Chrisman and Tim Monaghan) has become a leading re-interpreter and innovator of Yiddish and Eastern European music, creating new songs and pushing tradition forward into new territory. Golem is known for its theatricality and fearless wild energy, combined with a boundless love of tradition.
The band performs nationally and internationally, from the east coast to the west, and from Paris to Mexico City to Stockholm to Warsaw. The band is at home in venues as varied as rock clubs, festivals, and theaters, and at weddings and parties as well. After self-released album, “Homesick Songs,” they released two albums, “Fresh Off Boat” and “Citizen Boris” on independent Jewish label, Jdub Records. Golem then joined the roster of Mexican label Discos Corason (Buena Vista Social Club) and released the highly acclaimed album, “Tanz.” Golem was featured performing live in Season 4 of “Louie” and on “The Untitled Action Bronson Show” on Vice TV, in the Amazon TV series with Al Pacino, “Hunters” and Netflix’s “Dash and Lily.” Golem is “not your father’s klezmer band, unless of course your father was Sid Vicious” (Jewish Week).
Mad Painter
Mad Painter, based in Boston, MA. area, is deeply rooted in the melodic rock tradition of the 1970s. We play mostly original music, ranging from Woodstock-era psychedelic rock to glam-tinged rock 'n' roll a-la Mott the Hoople and the Faces, to epic heavy anthems in the vein of Uriah Heep.
J Hacha De Zola
J Hacha De Zola makes songs for people who have stayed out slightly too late and begun noticing that the buildings are breathing. Somewhere in the machinery are blues, soul, jazz, doo-wop, Latin music, and experimental rock, but none of them leave quite the way they came in. Horns bark from fire escapes. Pianos develop grudges. Drums walk with a suspicious limp. HachaDe Zola stands in the middle of it all, crooning about desire, dread, bad decisions, small miracles, and whatever else followed him home.
