Sleepy Kitty
With Paige Brubeck on vocals/guitar and Evan Sult (former Harvey Danger, Bound Stems) on drums/tapes, New York-based Sleepy Kitty makes what NYLON magazine calls “rainbow-tinged indie pop." ’90s distorted guitar layers and hooky vocals garner comparisons to Courtney Barnett and the Breeders.
Sleepy Kitty's songs are often spiked with shards of other references, from French ’60s yé-yé to deconstructed Beatles songs, making both their live sets and recordings a surprising audio pop-art collage. The duo's garagey drums, engrossing melodies and layered harmonies create a sound derived as much from the Velvet Underground as from the Gershwins.
Since their 2011 debut Infinity City, Sleepy Kitty has toured extensively in the U.S. and Canada, sharing the stage with Deerhoof, Ezra Furman, and Guided By Voices among others, as well as playing festivals like Riot Fest and SXSW.
"Mockingbird" from their 2016 EP Flux has been featured on Showtime's Shameless and in the 2017 film Becks starring Lena Hall and Mena Suvari. The band’s third full length release, "Blessing/Curse," is due out later this year.
Power Pose
With fiery vocals, edgy guitar hooks and hip-shaking rhythm, Brooklyn’s Power Pose serves up 90’s infused indie rock with a fresh feminist perspective. Inspired by emotionally evocative performers like PJ Harvey, Sleater-Kinney and Gossip, Jacqueline Bodley (guitar/vocals) and Kelly Rudman (drums) approach their songwriting with fierce candor. Together, this duo has crafted a brash, self-assured sound that commands attention.
Formed in the fall of 2017, Power Pose have built their strength from Bodley and Rudman’s friendship and genuine connection. They have fun with the collaborative process and vibe off each other’s energy, loosely banging out the first drafts of their songs in jam sessions to harness that kinetic momentum. While working on their debut album, they encouraged and supported one another to experiment with new instrumentation and stretch their limits together. Bodley picked up bass and Rudman tracked layers of sampled percussion on her laptop to fill out their initially stripped down two-piece sound. As two women who thrive outside the patriarchal norm, Bodley and Rudman share a feminist outlook that informs their art. Developing their voice against the backdrop of the #MeToo movement, both felt energized to express their shared experiences and perspectives as women. Bodley’s lyrics are both an exploration of self and an examination of the ways that women must work to navigate their environments, from youth to adulthood. Feelings of isolation, desire, fantasy, escapism, and the urgent need to reclaim one’s agency are woven into the fabric of their songs. Layered over danceable beats and driving guitar riffs, Power Pose brings this message forward with unyielding fervor and a heavy dose of rock and roll swagger. Their debut album I’m Looking was released on July 1, 2022.
