Quirky 60's garage rock is reimagined from the nose of a surfboard, making High Waisted feel like a psychedelic lullaby. They’ve been called NME Magazine’s “Buzz Band to Watch”, declared “The Ultimate Party Band” by GQ and received praise from Consequence of Sound, Noisey, UPROXX, Billboard, LeftBank Mag, Paste, BTR Today, Refinery29, performed live at Nylon Magazine, Paste Magazine, and Sofar Sounds. They spent the last 4 years touring, playing both Riot Fest in Chicago and Denver, and supporting acts like Brazilian Girls, Shannon and the Clams, Kitten, Titus Andronicus, The Donkeys, Har Mar Superstar, The Coathangers, La Sera, Diarrhea Planet, La Luz, and The Shivas.

Jessica Louise Dye’s powerful voice meshes with Jono Bernstein’s vintage drum vibes, to create modern day anthems full of insightful hopes. Despite a bad bicycle injury last summer, Dye and High Waisted kept busy with a Nylon Mag feature, a record store day release alongside Bikini Kill, Lenny Kaye, and Atmosphere, wrote a song for NPR's More Perfect with a podcast feature, featured by SXSW, headlined the Las Vegas Strip Hard Rock Hotel for SBTV, wrapped their 5th sold out High Waisted at Sea and released The Acid Tapes Vol 4.

“Sick of Saying Sorry” (produced by Tad Kubler of the ‘The Hold Steady and mixed by Arun Bali ‘Saves The Day’) is an unapologetic record about finding hope in a hopeless situation and the strength to get up when the world is screaming at you to stay down.

Washington, D.C.-based music producer and DJ. I've been making music since I was a kid.
