Bellow Wing expertly weaves raw emotion with clever poetry that flows perfectly into her signature meticulously calculated melodies. Creating an entire musical experience that might just rip your heart out, but will ever so sweetly, sew it back together.

The Brankas (Oakland)
They’ve played a show in a repurposed steel factory where someone smashed an upright piano with a sledgehammer. We played a show in our friend Jack’s apartment and the drum set fell over and there was a piñata and Theo had to scream over everything because there was no microphone. On multiple occasions, people have tried to talk to Taylor while he is playing drums. It’s very friendly but also hard to respond to. Another time, we played in a tiny art gallery for 15 minutes, packed up everything in 5 minutes and were just hanging out until the cops showed up: nothing to see here. We’ve also played places that have real sound systems and stages, which is alright too. Playing “rock and roll” music is ultimately a good excuse to meet other people, go outside and maybe even make a friend. Anything else is just marketing talk.
SCUMEATING
cg(gtr) and Jess(nze) formed the band around a common love of nauseating sounds played at high volumes, and have recruited several groups of musician friends and singers to play with them, like the blob, sucking in anyone who came to a show with the desire to play.
