The Luxurious Faux Furs are an enigmatic rock n roll trio based in New Orleans, Louisiana. 

They are beloved, mistrusted, idolized, ignored, puzzled over, and derided for their conceptual marriage of quasi-European glamour and droning, swampy rock n roll. The band [Jessica-Melain (drums), Lefty Parker (bass), and Josh Lee Hooker (guitar)] approaches their music with the howling, elemental minimalism of the Gories and Mississippi Fred McDowell. Yet they also embody the opulent absurdism of 70’s glam rock (a la T. Rex and Cockney Rebel), with stretched out songs, copious “ooh ooh” backup singing, and expressionistic vocals. The Luxurious Faux Furs are defiantly un-modern and anti-traditional; they’re neither urban nor rural; they have no interest in “what’s going on” and they certainly don’t care what people say about them.

Local favorites BIPOLAROID share the stage with Napa Valley’s SAMVEGA & LAYLA MUSSELWHITE for a nite of Psych at HOLY DIVER.

BIPOLAROID: Spearheaded by singer/songwriter/guitarist Ben Glover, the group play delta psychedelic music influenced by Syd Barrett and the 13th Floor Elevators, delivering odes to dissociation, time machines, looking glasses, the fifth dimension, and the like on both space rockers and more fey orchestrated pop-psychedelia.Their latest LP, ‘Paint It, Blacker’, was released Oct 2019 on Get Hip Recordings.  

SAMVEGA: Upending common perceptions of psychedelic music, Samvega pushes forward from tradition to forge a sound uniquely their own. It is difficult to detail their power, beauty, and transcendent nature. An arsenal of underground influences, Samvega is a band that is best experienced live.  The hypnotic, hard hitting rhythms, surrounded by synthesized atmospheres and sub bass frequencies, crushing guitar, soaring swells and unsettling pulses all pulled together by the band’s powerful vocals. Samvega connects people to an uncharted musical realm that remains both tangible and familiar. 

LAYLA MUSSELWHITE is a New Orleans-based singer songwriter and slide guitarist who draws on a rich musical legacy via her father, blues legend Charlie Musselwhite. Charlie is Layla’s guitar teacher, instructing her in the deepest rhythms of the roots of the blues. Layla grew up on the road steeped in the music of the greatest artists of our time including Muddy Waters, Howlin Wolf, & John Lee Hooker.  While her original music spans blues, soul, folk, and country, the touchstone is always the same - a deep understanding and respect for the rhythms and melodies at the heart of the blues.

RIGOROUS INSTITUTION

Portland Oregon's crust punk cult Rigorous Institution arose in 2018 coalescing around veterans from their punk and metal scene and soon developed a highly visionary syncretism of punk, metal, and avantgarde experimentalism enhanced by DYI art and visuals, poetical spoken word-like vocals and lyrics, apocalyptic atmospheres and a profound influence coming 19th and 20th century philosophy and religion, particularly those currents dealing with dystopian anthropocentrism, human nature and literary retro-futurism.

Friday Boys are a rambunctious art-punk trio from Austin.

Their quirky punk blends high-energy riffage with surrealistic lyrical stylings. Noisy, off-kilter guitars, strangely sweet basslines, and percussion makes you feel like you’re barely holding on for dear life (but still wanting to see how this crazy ride ends).

THE CASKET KIDS: …began in 2010 by Christian Youngblood and later joined by Paul Dupont, Brennan Persing, and Johnny Decay. Christian wanted to create a band merging together horror, punk, rock n’ roll, and heavy metal to create a sound both dark and unlike most others in their local music scene. They have been compared often to Misfits, Mourning Noise, Pentagram, Ramones, Fear, Venom, and Black Flag.

Teena May began her music journey on a toy piano at age 4 by ear, then with classical piano lessons in her home town of Winchester, VA until age 13. At university she taught herself acoustic guitar and began songwriting but was convinced creating music was only a private hobby as she explored more stable, “lucrative” career opportunities.

In the fall of 2012, Brooklyn NY, Teena started songwriting in earnest. After wrestling with her identity as an artist for 10+ years, it all came together Spring of 2022 at a near empty open mic in New Orleans. She realized sharing song stories is not a choice - it's her calling, never again to be ignored.

Teena performs her extensive Country, Pop, Folk and Americana 200+ song catalogue all over the United States, Paris, France, Montreal and any place she is invited. She now performs either solo, as a duo with a harmonica player or as a full folk band with fiddle and upright bass.

E.T.D. (Eat the Decay) is a relentless grinding death metal band hailing from Texas, formed in 2022. Boasting a stellar lineup with members from Thy Feeble Saviour, HRA, Hypo-Christians, Dark Reign, Cemetarian, and Burn The Boats, they deliver a ferocious sound that commands attention.

CONOR DONOHUE is an indie rock musician who currently resides in New Orleans. His sound is a unique blend of dance-punk, electro-pop, and traditional Americana, featuring a mix of live instrumentation and electronic elements. Donohue's music is characterized by driving beats, catchy hooks, and intricate melodies, while his lyrics are often introspective and witty. 

WILL STEWART: As one of the brightest and most prolific new songwriters to emerge from the Birmingham music scene over the past few years, Will Stewart has made a name for himself as both an imaginative storyteller and six string gunslinger whose detailed accounts of life around the Deep South seem to capture the essence of not just the humid, kudzu-covered environs they come out of, but also the creative cultural milieu that makes such narratives possible in the first place. Taking cues from everyone from Big Star and R.E.M., to Phosphorescent and the Drive-By Truckers, and even classic Southern literary figures like Eudora Welty and Barry Hannah, Stewart has managed to carve out a place for himself as a conjurer of time, place and characters— and the stories that swirl around them— in a way that’s simultaneously reflective, empathetic and unapologetic in their presentation.

THE GLASS HOURS are American songwriters Megan Barbera and Brad Armstrong. Combining influences from Megan’s Colorado mountain roots and Brad’s Birmingham, AL southern roots, the Americana/Country Folk duo met in New York’s Hudson Valley in Summer 2022 and began writing and performing together immediately. They recorded their first album the following spring.

Rare Seed is a 5-piece NOLA-based modern rock outfit that takes as many notes from the early sonic recipe books of the psychedelic groups Thee Oh Sees, My Bloody Valentine, and Broadcast, as they do from the soaring avant-jazz-pop of Stereolab and Koji Kondo. With traces of prog, punk, garage rock and blues, Rare Seed adopts aspects and moods of everyday living and pumps them through a filter of melancholic whimsy to potent effect. Ethereal soundscapes, shifting times and tempos, pulsating rhythms, and melodic hooks are just some of what you can expect to hear in their brand of music.

TEAR DUNGEON doesn't really care what you think about them regarding genre, labels and begrudging music identities. Instead, they're often described by ill metaphors. The band's like a bloody body dragged across asphalt--thrash metal meets go fuck yourself, with simmering belligerence that embodies some of the best of the Austin music scene.

Known for their arguably vulgar live performances, incredibly wicked vocal delivery, and strong discography, TEAR DUNGEON simply is one of the great acts of Austin when it comes to "reckless endangerment." (https://www.euphonicmagazine.com/news/interview-tear-dungeon)

FAUSTIAN: Featuring members of Barghest and other South Louisiana stalwarts, newly formed trio Faustian create a unique style of blackened death metal that seamlessly shifts from razor sharp maelstrom to dirge like grime. The three piece meld violent urgency and claustrophobic atmosphere into a frenzied sonic catharsis.

WRITHINGS: In 2020, when the world shut down, three like minded Cajun men found themselves ready to power the tube amplifiers up. Restless and primed, they set about crafting a sound in honor of their inspirations, yet all their own. As the merciless, history-making pandemic bore down with full force, those men decided that they, too, would show no mercy…
