Soft Circuit
(Album Release Show)
Soft Circuit, the electric current streaming through the amp, the microphone, the speaker. The soft underground, resisting, evolving, the soft loop that we trace, like an orbiting moon.
Developed shortly before the pandemic then sent into hibernation, Soft Circuit is still emerging into the world. Their sound fuses the raw, driving energy of classic post-punk with futuristic synth pop and the deep grooves of San Francisco psychedelia that ooze from pores of multi-colored Victorians and drip from banks of fog. Songs written on themes of alienation, desire, and the repetition of an ordinary life, Soft Circuit’s debut album Night Fruit releases on November 22nd.
UFO Baby
San Francisco/Oakland-based UFO Baby is chasing a sound both familiar and new, each song inching towards an evolving vision. Influences range from Stereolab to Syd Barrett, from Les Rallizes Dénudés to Ennio Morricone. Songs inspired by identity, nonsense, Sun Ra, mental health, and anything in between. UFO Baby invites you to wind down, hop on, and ascend.
The Pranks
San Francisco-based The Pranks draw you in with hypnotic basslines, gang vocals, and reverb-drenched chords, to drown you in sonic annihilation through vintage fuzz, swirling delay, and maraca-beaten drums. Their songs will guide you through the end of the night, a fleeting relationship, and your own sinister soundtrack for spacing out. The Pranks are coming for YOU!
With a liquid light show from Lights Out and Etherwave!
