Since planting themselves in Austin, Texas in the summer of 2010, Knifight has been distinguishing themselves as a premiere act in the indie-electronic scene. Formed in 2002 as a solo IDM/noise project of singer John Gable, Knifight has slowly evolved into a fleshed-out quartet of four distinct songwriters, producers and instrumentalists. Referencing the melodic tendencies and dancy electronics of Xiu Xiu, New Order and LCD Soundsystem along with the kind of guitar and bass bombast that brought post-punk to arenas, the members of Knifight have created music that is both introspective and widely accessible. 

Known for their intensely energetic live performances, Knifight has had the opportunity to play official showcases at both SXSW 2011 and SXSW 2012 in addition to being asked to open for the likes of Future Islands, Active Child, Com Truise, White Denim, The Octopus Project, and Thomas Dolby among others. The band has also received much love from Austin’s own KUT and KOOP radio stations, including an hour-long exclusive spot as well as several interviews and guest DJ opportunities. 

On May 18, 2012 the band released the IN THE FIRE EP, a preview of their anticipated debut full-length record due out 2013 which will be the follow-up to two other highly regarded self-produced EP’s: 2011’s The End Is Knifight and 2009’s Now We’re Invisible. 

Knifight is currently working with Alex Bhore and Chris King of This Will Destroy You on their first LP, Dark Voices. The album release is projected to be early summer.

Doomsquad was a genre-defying music trio consisting of siblings Trevor, Jaclyn & Allie. Starting in a basement in Toronto back in 2011, and sprawled out over the course of 3 albums, several EPs and their Spandrels series, their ever evolving sound channelled UK acid house, New York post-punk, dark new age, ambient dub and psyche rock into a unique sound that was distinctly theirs. Wearing their politics on their sleeve, their musical mission was simple and defined: to liberate the body through music.  Their borrow slogan from feminist anarchist Emma Goldman says it all: "If I can't dance to it, it's not my revolution."

We begin in the year 2008 with Josh, Dan and Brian. Three unassuming, well mannered and fun-loving fellows from a town near the sea. Regressed, mutated and collectively known as Fartbarf, they somehow bring us all into the future, captivating audiences with relentless melodies, robotically tight rhythms, and danceable beats by use of a strict limitation of tools at hand; vintage analog synthesizers, vocoders, drum machines, analog modular systems, and live drums.
