Flamingo Shadow
Cosmic family band Flamingo Shadow harnesses the power of Art Pop to win the hearts and minds of fellow Earth Americans. The Atlanta, GA group synthesizes musical styles from around the world in their relentless hunt for the perfect groove. The band’s character-steeped lineup includes Lady Nice (lead vox), Star Girl (vox/keyboards), Big Man (guitar/bass/vox), Sin D (drums/synth percussion), and Beast Supreme (producer/guitar/bass/electronics). Although the band’s catalog heavily emphasizes hip-shaking grooves, their influences are deep and wide-ranging, including everything from New Wave to Funk, Disco, Krautrock, Exotica, and Tropicalia.

Karaoke
her songwriting. Her longtime musical collaborator Adrian Switon (Shepherds, Del Venicci,
George Bataille Battle Cry) on drums/experimental percussion and Tymb Gratz (Mood Rings) on
guitar compose the core members of Karaoke, although various rotating musicians fill in live.
They self released their first full length LP, Blood, Piss, Religion, Pain, towards the end of 2020,
which was met with local acclaim, and Bellury conceived of and produced 5 one take music
videos to accompany the release, each video featuring only one member of the band.
and dynamic sound the group has established over the years, and marks a new phase in
experimentation with electronic drums, dissected pop structures, lyrical references to Sufjan
Stevens, King Krimson and Drake (Together Forever, Official Dating Profile), and ranges from
sparse, intimate cello and piano arrangements (Blood, Piss, Religion, Pain) to a gritty
headbanger that’s downright punk (Opposite Of Time). Karaoke has been compared to the likes
of This Mortal Coil, Talking Heads, and Kate Bush, but their sound runs the gamut of art pop,
new wave, and indie rock.

Rose Hotel (dj set)
Rose Hotel, aka Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and frontwoman Jordan Reynolds, has announced a forthcoming debut LP, I Will Only Come When It’s A Yes, due out May 31, 2019. Rose Hotel’s 2017 EP, Always A Good Reason, was passed around like a secret in music scenes and college towns from Athens, GA to Bowling Green, KY. The stripped-down intimacy was equal parts introspective and wistful, recalling a distant era when voices like Joni Mitchell and Emmylou Harris cut through the hiss of A.M. static. For I Will Only Come When It’s A Yes, Reynolds collaborated with a tight-knit band of musicians from Atlanta’s emerging indie scene — members of Material Girls, Neighbor Lady, Shepherds, Karaoke, and Palm Sunday. The result is a polished, full-band evolution of the lo-fi, bedroom origins of Reynolds’ first recordings under the moniker. Today, Paste Magazine is premiering the nostalgia-inducing music video for the album’s shoegaze tinged opener, “10 K.” They praise, “Reynolds is a natural storyteller, and her roomy indie-rock fits right in alongside that of artists like Hazel English and Jay Som.”
