Electric Tickle Machine was grown in New York’s East Village from the textural, lo-fi recordings of Tom Olivier. These students of the Psychedelic Pop Paradigm employ a whirlwind of telecasters, synthesizers and percussion to conjure their own chaotic brand of American swagger. Guided by the ghosts of their city, and oozing equal parts sincerity and mischief, the combination of a former Mormon, ex-Jehovah’s farmboy , Native American Jew, and French citizen, yields a chaotic and heartfelt concoction of modern love in the throes of western medicine.

Radiates is a 4 piece post-punk band from the Lower East Side, New York City. Influenced by New Order, The Cure, and My Bloody Valentine; Radiates has created a sound that is melodic, dark, and original. With a driving rhythm section behind airy guitar chords, light synth melodies, and operatic vocal textures, they sing songs both fluorescent and ghost-like; of true love, true heart break, and true insomnia.
ArpLine is the Brooklyn-based band made up of Sam Tyndall, Adam De Rosa, Michael Chap Resnick, Oliver Edsforth, and Nathan Lithgow.
