Veradas, Die Right, Mike Mannequin – 21+

Veradas brings an onslaught of sludgy riffs, tribal drums, harmony vocals, arty effects, and cathartic hooks. In some form or another, they’re inspired by shoegaze, jazz, funk, 1990s grunge and alt-rock, Kraut rock, the madness of the Aussies, and the abandonment of the Pacific Northwest. Their music is a cathartic purge of modern angst rendered as serrated psychedelic art-punk grunge. Die Right is here to shake it up with a sound that’s equal parts 80s /90s pop-rock nostalgia and gritty post-punk energy. Born from the wreckage of the past but fueled by the fire of today, they serve up irresistibly catchy hooks, blazing guitar solos, angelic harmonies, infectious rhythms, and a live show that’ll have you smiling, singing, and rocking out until the sun comes up. With members originally hailing from the Bay Area, LA and London, Die Right blends their musical backgrounds into something fresh, exciting, and undeniably fun. Mike Mannequin is a melodic post-punk band from Portland, Oregon, blending moody landscapes with bursts of garage rock energy and ambient punk undertones. With a goal of making spooky pop, their sound is both haunting and dynamic. Founded by Michael Young, a fixture in Portland’s music scene for over 20 years, the band features members from acts like Corrina Repp, King Who, and Brother’s Young. Rooted in the city’s grassroots music community, Mike Mannequin crafts evocative songs that resonate with fans of dark, melodic sounds.

Slow Magic – 21+

SLOW MAGIC Darkness and light, aggression and gentleness, ecstasy and reflection: these dualities define Slow Magic’s third and strongest project to date, Float. An expansive and inventive compendium of modern electronic pop, the enigmatic producer’s latest spans a multitude of genres and moods resulting in a listening experience that makes for its own journey. Written and recorded over the past two years, work on Float commenced shortly after touring behind 2014’s dreamy How to Run Away, the record’s jagged and surprising new sounds taking shape after a leisurely trip to Iceland in order to “try to get away” from things. A subsequent trip to Japan—wherein Slow Magic performed in the country for the first time—further solidified what would go into the album’s sonic and visual motifs. Float marks a number of “firsts” for Slow Magic: it’s the first time the producer’s worked with live drums, as well as the first time they’ve brought guest vocalists into the Slow Magic world, from MNDR and Swedish electro-rockers Kate Boy to like-minded producer Tropics and Antlers frontman Peter Silberman. But it’s a testament to Slow Magic’s unique creative approach that these different voices coalesce on an album that presents a uniform vision even as it embraces exuberant creativity. Music has always provided a retreat for anyone looking to lose themselves in pure sound, and Float is a trip that no one will regret taking. Recently, he put out his 5th studio album, forgotten feels, and in 2024 he plans to put out a how to run away bonus disk around the 10 year anniversary of his second album. In 2026, slow magic plans to release his 6th studio album “emotion engine” in the summer.

Unseen Object (Release show!) w/Shanea, Starz Of Da Bizzare – 21+

Unseen Object is a Portland-based alternative rock band formed in 2022. Blending restless songwriting with a stripped, emotionally direct approach, Unseen Object’s sound draws from contemporary indie rock while staying loose, searching, and unvarnished. Their songs move between concrete detail and abstraction while grappling with grief, dislocation, and the impulse to keep going anyway. Their debut album, Life Is Long and Easy, which will be out via Bee Side Cassettes, was recorded in 2025 in a basement studio in Northeast Portland. The record carries a raw, live-tracked energy, prioritizing feel, interplay, and lyrical immediacy over polish. It leans on the elasticity and openness that define the indie rock tradition. Unseen Object has been building a local following in Portland through intimate live performances and DIY releases. The project is led by multi-instrumentalists David Alvarado, Kai Nealis, and Dylan Bodnarick. Shanea is a singer songwriter based in Portland Oregon, whose writing spans the depths of indie folk to rock.

Casket Cassette, Stare Away – 21+

A reflection of both the industrial grime and the sun-soaked glow of Los Angeles, Casket Cassette is the project of Constant Williams, blending euphoria and melancholy into a sound that evokes the complexities of the human condition. The music is dark yet danceable, drawing from post-punk, darkwave, new wave, EBM, synthpop, and alternative influences to create something both nostalgic and new. The name comes from a childhood memory of Williams’ father recording a live song onto a cassette and placing it into his grandfather’s casket as it was lowered into the ground. That image still lingers in his songwriting, where themes of loss, addiction, heartbreak, and recovery meet flashes of humor, resilience, and the will to keep moving forward. Williams lives in Los Angeles and earned his MFA in Poetry from the Iowa Writers’ Workshop in 2024. Casket Cassette will be releasing new music through 2026 and heading overseas in May for its Wave Gotik Treffen debut, marking the start of a new chapter for the project.
