Fri Feb 4 Xaebor
Xaebor! Dubstep, Riddim, Dub! San Diego's XaeboR (real name Levi Martin) is a DJ/producer who knows how to tread between dub's sub genres. A pinch of riddim, a sprinkle of dubstep and a whole lot of heavy beats, XaeboR hits the stage looking like a metal head who watches a lot of horror movies: long hair, backward black hat, and a strict attention to each electronic detail. As you'd expect with any Never Say Die artist, XaeboR's bass music leans toward the heavy dark side of things: wubby riddim with enough experimentation to keep fans coming back for more.

Fri Feb 25 Noise Pop Festival 2022
King Woman + Spiritual Cramp
Noise Pop Festival 2022: King Woman + Spiritual Cramp! Rock, Shoegaze, Indie, Alternative, Drone, Doom! Never underestimate the power of a woman, especially if she's got goth-tinged lyrics, doom rock vibes, and vocals like a fallen angel. Dark and brooding, King Woman confronts lead singer Kristina's religious upbringing and near death experience - the entire KW catalog is a lesson about making art from self analysis. Backed by layers of post punk fuzz, pounding drums, and aggressive instrumentals, Kris' vocals devastate as much as her lyrics.

Wed Mar 9 Haru Nemuri
Haru Nemuri! J-Pop, Rock, Post-Punk, Lo-Fi, Hiphop! Haru Nemuri fearlessly grinds the lines between J-pop, rap, electronica, and hard rock Imagine if Grimes was Japanese and performing with her finger in an electronic socket and it all took place inside a video game. Everything is blown-out to a widescreen post-rock scope yet feels jarringly immediate. Her tracks are grounded in rock but often incorporate elements of hiphop and electronic music, and her vocal delivery moves from delicate spoken word to primal screams.

Sun Mar 13 Omnium Gatherum
Omnium Gatherum! Progressive Metal, Death Metal, Melodic Metal, Extreme Metal! Some bands seem to harness the power of magic from the very start. Omnium Gatherum are one such band, but they are only just starting to recognise the enormity of their powers. Formed in Finland in 1996, they emerged from a vibrant European metal scene with a sound that blended the raging brutality of Scandinavian death metal with a rich sense of melody and harmony.

Sun Mar 20 Bridge City Sinners + The Goddamn Gallows
Bridge City Sinners + The Goddamn Gallows! Punk, Bluegrass, Jazz, Folk, Rockabilly! From the misty, pine-covered hills of the Pacific Northwest hail the Bridge City Sinners, who span the continuum from prohibition era jazz to Appalachian death folk. This traditional string band line up bends the meaning of the word genre, playing festivals from Punk Rock Bowling, to Muddy Roots, to Oregon's Bluegrass String Summit. They started their journey by busking on sidewalks across the country and now this supergroup of musicians find themselves on the national tour circuit.
