Youth In Government

Hailing from the Washington, D.C. metro area, Youth in Government craft expansive space rock that blends the psychedelic textures of the 1970s with the atmospheric haze of shoegaze and the emotional sweep of post-rock. Equal parts cosmic and cathartic, the duo channels shimmering guitars, immersive soundscapes, and driving rhythms into songs that feel both nostalgic and forward-looking.

Slow Teeth

For Fans of: Sigur Ros, Radiohead/The Smile, Explosions In The Sky, Holy Fawn

SLOW TEETH formed and started writing songs in Saxapahaw, North Carolina in the summer of 2021, initially as an opportunity for Robert Chamberlain (drums, synthesizers), Justin Ellis (bass, vocals, keyboards), and Jeremy Haire (guitar, vocals) to start playing music with others following the pandemic lockdown while previous respective projects were on indefinite hiatus. As the band's chemistry and highly collaborative identity coalesced, they began playing live in March 2022, tweaking and adapting their improvised post-rock compositions into finished songs and performing them in nearly every corner of North America. They released their debut record “I” in March 2025.

Self-recorded and mixed in an old house that predates the Declaration of Independence, “I” is a great introduction to Slow Teeth’s sound - cinematic and dynamic music made by three sets of hands and feet transfigured into a symphony of sound, with deeply introspective lyrics about familial relationships, disillusionment with our crumbling institutions, and the relentless passage of time in a world seemingly upside down. It’s not all bleak - other songs lean heavily into the band’s extensive and varied musical influences (Radiohead/The Smile, Pink Floyd, Sigur Rós, to name a few) and favorite sci-fi novels and films (The Lord Of The Rings, Dune, The Green Knight), searching for a spark to light the way forward. Slow Teeth is at its core three people making music they wish existed, using the catharsis of live performance as the engine for creating songs and soundscapes whose reach exceeds their grasp.

Slow Teeth has supported such acts as Explosions In The Sky, Xiu Xiu, A Place To Bury Strangers, Holy Fawn, hubris., and more. Notable venues played include The Cat's Cradle (Carrboro NC), The Haw River Ballroom (Saxapahaw, NC), The Ritz (Raleigh NC), Motorco Music Hall (Durham NC), The Paramount Theatre (Goldsboro, NC), Berlin Under A (New York City), Gold-Diggers (Los Angeles), The Pearl (Vancouver BC), Pie Shop (Washington DC), The Drunken Unicorn (Atlanta), Skylark Lounge (Denver), Shrine Social Club (Boise), The Basement (Nashville), Turn! Turn! Turn! (Portland OR), Red Dwarf (Las Vegas), and Bad Bar (Seattle). The band has also appeared at multiple festivals, including Treefort Music Fest 2026 (Boise ID), Bull City Summit 2023, Sleepy Fest 2025, the 2022 North Carolina State Fair, the 2023 Festival For The Eno, and the 2022-2025 editions of the Carrboro Music Festival - all in their home state of North Carolina.

Outside of their original compositions and visceral live shows, Slow Teeth has organized and presented various one-off community events, including a block party (The Kraken, 2022), Hopscotch Music Festival Day Parties (Longleaf Hotel, Raleigh, 2023 & 2024), live, improvised scores to silent films (“Metropolis” in March 2023 & "Fall Of The House of Usher" on Halloween 2024) and full-album performances to celebrate the 50th anniversaries of the landmark Pink Floyd records ‘Dark Side Of The Moon” (Cat’s Cradle, 2023) and “Wish You Were Here” (Motorco Music Hall, 2025) - complete with guest musicians and interactive visuals.

TONE

Founded in 1991 by Norm Veenstra and Gregg Hudson, TONE has relentlessly explored the often unpredictable, always epic sonic path of a dedicated instrumental ensemble. Based in Washington DC, Tone primarily performs with three electric guitars, bass guitar, and drum kit. The band is known for guitar-based instrumentals dedicated to dynamic contrast and textures not normally found in rock music. Long recognized as a precursor to the post-rock instrumental scene (Mono, Explosions in the Sky, Do Make Say Think, Maserati, godspeed you! black emperor), Tone's style is dense and heavy, yet surprisingly emotive. Rolling Stone described their SXSW performance: “Tone (DC): three guitar post-rock army fills every available space with sound, makes an outdoor show sound like an indoor show.”

Tone has proven itself an enduring underdog among its hometown pack of storied punks, many of whom have filtered through the group's ranks over the years. The band at one time or another has included members of Government Issue, Teen Idles, Unrest, Edsel, Pitchblende, and Thud, just to name a few. Currently a five-piece band, the ranks of TONE have swelled to as many as nine through the years to include multiple guitarists, bass players and drummers. At times TONE has performed with string and horn players, even dancers. From 2004 through 2006, a collaboration with The Bowen McCauley Dance Company resulted in performances at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C., a festival appearance in Aachen, Germany, and a set of intense new works. TONE has performed in numerous venues throughout the Eastern U.S., in Europe, and at SXSW in 2010.

Tone has produced eight albums, including their most recent digital release, MECHANISMS, available on BandCamp. Previous recordings are available from The Kora, Dischord, Independent Project, and Neurot Recordings.
