SPRING SILVER
"For Nkanza, the creation of culture and the search for self appear to be tightly intertwined. The lustrous new Spring Silver album, “I Could Get Used to This,” sounds like it was made by someone who grew up minding the tweaky electronic details of the Warp Records catalogue and the melody-saturated guitar riffs of post-hardcore heroes Jawbox and Shudder to Think." (The Washington Post)

ALL HER MUSES
All Her Muses started as a collaborative cover band project in 2015 featuring DCpoet/singer Natalie E. Illum and composer/multi-instrumentalist Grey Jacks. Grey and Natalie met in mid-2014 and immediately found a love of common music between them and a mutual talent for making obscure and indie covers new again. A former DC grand slam champion and touring performance poet, Natalie came back to her roots as a choir girl and has written original lyrics that Grey has paired with original melodies and music.

DEPRESSION CHERRY
Depression Cherry so far is a one-man project by Queer Germany-to-DC transplant Markus Meier that has lived its looping existence for several years in a small bedroom in the middle of Washington DC. A pre-pandemic QUEERING SOUND was the initial spark to take these sweet repeating lullabies out of the bedroom and onto the (small) stage and share them with you. I hope you enjoy my little melodic clouds that want to massage your soul and tell you that everything is fine (clearly a lie) and give you a break for a minute or two.
