TOO MANY ZOOZ
"Brass House" trio TOO MANY ZOOZ make manically kinetic instrumental music that combines avant-garde jazz, EDM, punk rock, and sundry other traditions into their own distinctive brand of high-energy dance music. A viral sensation since they first emerged as New York subway buskers in 2013, Too Many Zooz have evolved into a globally recognized phenomenon.
jjuujjuu
jjuujjuu is a rotating ensemble of domestic & international collaborators, wrangled by Los Angeles-based musician and Desert Daze Festival Producer, Phil Pirrone.
mr. Gnome
mr. Gnome creates a surreal, sonic snapshot of life, pain, loss, and light with their music that runs the spectrum of human emotion thanks to their distinct brand of hypnotic, gritty, astral rock’n’roll.
Sylmar
Sylmar is a melting pot of stylistic nuance, honest ignorance and a wee bit of theoretical background that creates slimy, dreamy, grit pop stoner jazz.
The Weird Sisters
Nashville's The Weird Sisters is a blues-soaked rock ‘n’ roll band known for releasing tracks wired with adrenaline and filled with nostalgia of rock eras from years past. Their newest record explores an exciting electronic element that reshapes their sound into a psychedelic space disco dance party.
