Iris and the Shade are a duo out of Southern California. Their debut record Caterpillar Wings was produced by Matt Costa. With the Indy Pop sensibilities in the spirit of The Head and the Heart and the vocals that harken to Dolly Parton, Iris and the Shade are uniquely their own. Shedding light and sun drenched wisdom, Caterpillar Wings is timeless, the natural cadence of the duo’s melodic wisdom is apparent in standout tracks like Comatose (Jessica's Song) or the yacht rock groove of Allergic to the Smoke.  It’s the feeling of something good you don’t want to ever end. They have played for audiences at Zebulon in Los Angeles and continue to write and record new music.

When Alisha Zalkin and Dan Kalisher met through the Los Angeles music scene, there was an immediate mutual admiration for each other’s abilities. Little did they know, it would give birth to one of LA’s top up-and-coming rock bands, Sleep Machine.

Boasting the sound of a modern Led Zeppelin fronted by the powerfully soulful Zalkin, Sleep Machine looks to continue their ascent up the ranks of LA’s historic rock scene with the release of their new single, “Animal High,” ahead of their sophomore EP of the same name. Every one of Animal High’s six tracks proves just how talented the duo is – along with drummer Kiel Feher – can be when channeling their energetic blues-based rock.

After bursting on to the scene with the release of last year’s debut EP, Cover Me In Gold, Sleep Machine has been featured in publications such as Entertainment Weekly and Myspace’s “Artist of the Day.” Their music can be heard on television shows and commercials ranging from ABC’s Quantico and MTV’s Finding Carter to TV Land’s Younger and E!’s The Royals, while the band’s own video  “Wild For You” earned the 2015 LA Music Critic Award for “Best Video (Live).” 

Aside from their success as Sleep Machine at LA venues such as the legendary Viper Room and The Hotel Cafe, Kalisher and Zalkin have each been featured on national and international tours and performed on enormous stages such as The Tonight Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live, The View, and the MTV Movie Awards. Kalisher – who recorded every shredding guitar solo and pounding bass line (as well as produced) on both Animal High and Cover Me In Gold – can also be found doing everything from playing pedal steel on the official soundtracks for Netflix shows to producing full-length albums for artists across the country.
