Oracle Cop – The formerly semi-dormant solo project of local guitar wielder Zach Zinn (of PRND and NavigatorCommunicator). Recently, this project has reemerged amidst a flurry of strings, with sets spanning the gamut between morphing melodies, transfixing drones and frenetic squeals. Listeners may expect unconventional instrumentation and timing, paired with emotive passages of contemplative ambience. Projecting dynamism and power that is often considered the advantage of a full band, Zinn captivates the listener using just a guitar and a smattering of pedals.

Kristal McKinstry is a one-mermaid ‘saraswati meets captain nemo’ band, performs in three genres as The Zodiac Sandcrabs, The Springs, and Tits to the Wind, in the genres of Coral-reef ‘sweet sister ray’-impressionist-klezmer-space-ragas, 1920’s delightfully whimsical creepy & existential ballads on topics like AI Barbies with a bebop-gogo-surf twist, and vision-quest horror-folk pirate shanties.
