BIO:
Between the Buried and Me are a thinking man’s hardcore unit hailing from Raleigh, North Carolina. The band began in 2000 after the dissolution of vocalist Tommy Rogers and guitarist Paul Waggoner’s previous group, Prayer for Cleansing. Rogers and Waggoner completed their new lineup with the addition of guitarist Nick Fletcher, bassist Jason King (ex-Azazel), and drummer Mark Castillo, formerly of Bury Your Dead. An eponymous debut soon appeared, issued through the German indie Lifeforce, and the band supported its release with an avid tour schedule. Between the Buried and Me signed with Chicago hardcore powerhouse Victory in the summer of 2002 and began work on their debut for the label. The Silent Circus appeared in late October of the following year and showcased a more focused fusion of the group’s math rock, heavy metal, and post-hardcore influences.Several lineup changes ensued that saw Rogers and Waggoner rounded out by guitarist Dusty Waring, bassist Dan Briggs, and drummer Blake Richardson. Joining forces with producer Jamie King, who had recorded their self-titled effort, Between the Buried and Me released Alaska in September 2005. Various tour dates with the Dillinger Escape Plan, Every Time I Die, Bleeding Through, and Haste the Day followed. The band next paid tribute to many of its influences — from Pantera to Queen to Pink Floyd — on the covers album The Anatomy Of, which surfaced in June 2006, before hitting the road on a subsequent headlining tour. That fall, Victory reissued The Silent Circus with an additional bonus DVD of material. In 2007, they went into the studio with producer Jamie King and recorded Colors, which was released that September through Victory Records and described as “new wave polka grunge” by the band. The Great Misdirect, the band’s fifth studio album, appeared two years later.
Victory put out a Between the Buried and Me greatest-hits album in 2011, just weeks before the band released its first EP on Metal Blade, The Parallax: Hypersleep Dialogues, the first entry in a two-part concept album. The second part, The Parallax II: Future Sequence, followed in 2012. In 2013, they embarked on the Future Sequence Tour, where they played The Parallax II in full. The group reentered the studio in late 2014 to begin work on a new concept recording — Metal Blade referred to it as a “rock opera.” Coma Ecliptic was produced by Jamie King and mixed by Jens Bogren. The set’s pre-release single, “Memory Palace,” appeared in April of 2015; the album followed in July. In 2017, Between the Buried and Me released the concert LP Coma Ecliptic Live, which featured the band playing the album live in its entirety at the Observatory North Park in San Diego, California. It was their final album for Metal Blade.
The band signed to Sumerian that year and quickly hit the studio with King returning as producer. They developed a double-length concept album, Automata, to be issued as two separate recordings with different release dates. According to Rogers: “We can get music instantly, and with this luxury, the listener has a hard time sitting down with albums and exploring their every twist and turn. Because of this, we have decided to release our new album in two parts.” The album’s songs explore several central questions: What if dreams could be broadcast for the purpose of entertainment? Could you consume the innermost thoughts of another person on screen? If you could, what does that say about an attention-starved audience? More importantly, what would become of the dreamer? Automata I was issued in early March of 2018, with Automata II scheduled for June.

BIO:
The Magic City Hippies began as a one-man band playing for the co-ed party scene on the streets of Miami — serenading the 20-somethings with a mix of old-school hip-hop covers and original tunes.After months of stealing electricity and stirring up crowds of passers-by with his loop-based setup, front man Robby Hunter was asked by the Coconut Grove Police to cease and desist or ‘play in a real bar.’ Finding sanctuary in a nearby dive bar, Robby enlisted the support of multi-instrumentalists Pat Howard and John Coughlin for a regular gig. This trio dubbed itself Robby Hunter Band and released a self-produced, widely acclaimed debut LP in 2013 entitled Magic City Hippies, which included the beachy Hype Machine-topper “Corazón” alongside indie blog hits “Hard On Me” and “BUST.”
Encouraged by the international reach and positive reception of their debut, they decided to expand their sound and approach under the better-fitting moniker Magic City Hippies (after the title of their debut LP). In July of 2015, the Magic City Hippies released the Hippie Castle EP, and the lead-off track “Fanfare” hit #1 on Spotify’s Global Viral Top 50. It has accumulated over 2 million streams to date.

BIO:
The Los Angeles-via-Brooklyn trio DREAMERS are one of the hardest-working rock bands in the music business. Formed in 2014, the group (vocalist/guitarist Nick Wold, bassist/keyboardist Nelson and drummer Jacob Wick) have played everywhere from tiny bars and massive arenas to festivals such as Lollapalooza, Bumbershoot and Firefly. They’ve met their musical heroes—including Weezer’s Rivers Cuomo—and shared stages with notable acts such as Stone Temple Pilots, Catfish and The Bottlemen, The Maine, Weezer, The Griswolds, etc.All of this hard work paid off on DREAMERS’ debut album, 2016’s This Album Does Not Exist: The record is an effervescent amalgamation of grungy guitar fuzzbombs, snappy synth-pop grooves and irresistible pop hooks. (Think modern-day Weezer, or Nirvana with a candy-coated exterior.) Upon release, This Album Does Not Exist spawned a national radio hit, the electro-sprinkled pop gem “Sweet Disaster,” which peaked at No. 7 on the Alternative radio chart and was on SiriusXM’s Alt Nation for several weeks. Three other songs also charted nationally: the ’90s throwback “Drugs”; the crooning “Wolves (You Got Me),” which initially charted on Alt Nation in late 2014, when DREAMERS was still unsigned, and the soulful, brisk power-pop of the current single “Painkiller”. Don’t miss Dreamers at The Basement on October 5 th!
