Cactus Cat is an exploration into parts unknown led by two gleaming saxophones with ethereal vocals, textural guitar, melodic bass, and all-encompassing drums. Expect danceable grooves, instrumental adventures, thoughtful lyrics, and just a bit of the unexpected.

Occasionally departing from self-contained bops to expansive effects-laden jams before snapping sharply back into focus, Cactus Cat always lands on its feet. Oh, and watch out for the spikes.

Black Market Translation is the world’s foremost improv punk rock band. They exist at the psychedelic nexus of creation and history to answer the eternal question: what the fuck? Inspired by music and other noises, taking cues from poetry, anarchy, witchcraft and cats, BMT is a different show every time, daring listeners to forget about it. Make the whole thing up. Join the experiment in process and go for a ride on the razor’s edge of chaos and composition where nobody is sure what is going to happen next.Who might get so lost they find themselves on stage knowing?

Overdrive and reverb streaked across a sonic canvas, accentuated broad strokes painted loosely with distortion and unique time signatures. Interlocking guitar parts and overlapping vocals create a sense that you're somehow familiar with this piece, that you've lived here before. Black & White Motion Picture crafts an impressionistic indie landscape of sound, swirled with The Beatle's aeolian cadences and blended with Interpol's rhythmic drive. 

Hailing from southern California, Becky Otárola (née Hostetler) created Bellhoss in 2017 after relocating to Denver, Colorado. She began as a solo artist and eventually grew to collaborate with other people, bands, producers, and more. Aligned with projects Waxahatchee, ALVVAYS, and Soccer Mommy, Bellhoss sits in a purgatory between indie and DIY punk, writing songs for herself and anyone keeping secrets.

Bear and the Beasts are a rowdy 6-piece soul-tinged Americana band from Denver that blends elements of folk, jazz, and roots into a cosmic sound that can explode like a quasar or float like a photon through space. With a white-knuckled, bone-rattling intensity and a compositional command that is downright orchestral, they tackle themes such as social justice, death, and millennial malaise with a paradoxical sense of gravitas and irreverence.
