Joel Gion has been the tambourine-playing frontman of The Brian Jonestown Massacre for the last 30 years. He&#8217;s THAT good at it. The Sundance Film Festival&#8217;s Grand-Jury Prize of 2004 was unanimously awarded to Dig!, a documentary based on The Brian Jonestown Massacre and friends/foes The Dandy Warhols. It quickly became a global cinematic sensation and catapulted BJM onto the world stage.

Josephine Network is an NYC project fronted by multifaceted singer/songwriter Josephine. Her music is a fluid mix of power pop, glam rock, and bubblegum, with touches of twang (“No One’s Rose”) and AM Gold (“Music is Easy”).” In 2021, the title track from Music is Easy was featured on an episode of NPR’s This American Life. Her eight-piece ensemble has been called “the quintessential New York bar band… then you accidentally hear enough of the lyrics and it changes your life” (Hell Gate). The Network’s hook-heavy harmony-laden rock has led them to tour with notable acts such as Shannon and the Clams and The Lemon Twigs. The band&#8217;s latest EP, Tall Buildings, is out now on House of Feelings.

Allegra Krieger was born a selkie in the Atlantic Ocean in 1845. Taking a more conventional corporeal form, she moved to New York City, where she maintains a residence on the sixth floor of a hotel in East Midtown. She writes songs, bad checks, love letters, and poorly formatted emails and trusts that terrible things can have extraordinary outcomes.
QVC has been playing on the small rectangular TV in her room at a low volume for 13 years straight. She drinks a lukewarm beer on blue cotton sheets and watches two women hawk a tropical blouson sleeve top for three easy payments of $15.99 on the distant screen before drifting into a fitful sleep. How remarkably human! 
Her new album, Art of the Unseen Infinity Machine, will be out on September 13 via Double Double Whammy.
