Lokua is a Chicago based producer and live p/a artist currently focused on minimal, acid-laden, flooriented, swung and polymetric techno. His tools of choice include anything and everything from a laptop and MIDI controllers, to 100s of HP of Eurorack, samplers, drum machines, and polysynths. He brings with him over 25+ years of songwriting experience. 
 
Lokua began his life as a musician making beats in his mother's basement and selling cassette tapes in high school primarily to aid freestyle cyphers. Increasingly inspired by groundbreaking artists like DJ Premier, Aphex Twin, Larry Heard, and Brian Eno, as well as Chicago's underground legends The Opus (of Rubberroom), Lokua immersed himself in the art of live p/a. This eventually led to co-founding the Moment Sound collective and label with fellow artists Slava and Garo, who together held down residencies focused on live electronic music and motion graphics at Subterranean, Darkroom, Rodan, Morseland, and other venues across Chicago. Lokua has released tracks on Moment Sound, Don't Trust Humans, Smooth Agent, Diane's Hunting Club, CPKAY, in addition to self releases. He has opened for artists such as Luke Slater, Claude Young, and Daedalus. He is currently a member of The Listening Club and Podval crews.

Comasoft is a pop rock band from Chicago. A lot of keyboards, a lot of jumping around and a LOT of sweet riffs. OUR NEW EP "Ropes on Fire" is done, with the lead single West Town featuring Anthony Bagnara from Makeshift Prodigy as guest vocal. We also tried something completely new this time around and that was to unplug all the machines and play some songs acoustically. You'll hear 3 songs stripped down on this record, 2 of which might sound familiar to the old school Coma fan. We're beyond exited to get the ball rolling on this new chapter of Comasoft. 

Comasoft is currently booking shows, playing everywhere their 20 year old van will take them and trying to rule the world. Join us in bringing rock-n-roll, general debauchery, and fun back.

The rest of the stuff you already know... Fog and lights and jumping around galore, come get sweaty with us, and bring your sister... 

My Machete is Jessica Escobedo, Jorge Chavira, Chris Dominguez and Derek Escobedo. They are an indie/alternative rock band from Anaheim, CA that formed in 2003.
They released their first demo in 2006 and have since released two EPs, Minor Thoughts (2011) and Opposite Ends (2014). The band has a strong local following and has had success touring the Pacific Coast twice, from San Diego and Los Angeles, to San Francisco, Portland and Seattle.
My Machete plays a unique blend of alternative rock with indie pop overtones. The combination of soft, yet dynamic vocals, complimented by distinctive drumming and melodic guitar riffs, has made the group a staple in the Orange County music scene.  
The band will release their first full-length album, Better Together, on February 23rd.

After relocating to Nashville from Chicago in 2009, singer/keyboardist Megan Rox and guitarist Dave Johnson solidified the current band lineup in 2011. They released a self-titled EP in August of 2012, and began working on their debut full-length album Star in 2013 with Jeremy Ferguson at Battle Tapes (Turbo Fruits, Pujol, Tristen, Forget Cassettes) and Brian Carter at Paradox Productions (Glossary, The Nobility, The Features). It was mixed by Matt Mahaffey (Self, Beck, The Sounds, Pink). The band released the Deluxe Edition of Star, with select remixes, in 2014.

Family life slowed the process of writing new material through 2015 and most of 2016, but the band brought in bassist/synth guru Aaron Irons (The Non-Commissioned Officers, Jasmin Kaset) and went back into the studio with Jeremy Ferguson (Battle Tapes) to record and mix their new EP, Afterglow, in mid-2016. It was released on May 12, 2017

"Nashville indie rockers Scale Model are back boasting an expanded lineup...that needs to be on your new music radar now...and the expanded sound is immediately noticable in the lush, dance-ready soundscapes that propel “Other Voices” through visions of Depeche Mode, while vocalist Megan Rox soars above as though channeling Annie Lennox."
-No Country For New Nashville, 2017

"Their territory has typically been the New Wave-ier side of synth pop, and their new four-track EP Afterglow expands on that nicely. Contributions from new member Aaron Irons and his fortress of synths lock in with Steve Cross behind the kit and drum machine to create a perfect setting for launching vocalist Megan Rox into space. Guitars also play a bigger role here than on the group’s 2014 record Star, sounding like they might take flight any second. Most importantly, the songs offer satisfyingly weird takes that make normal stuff like rain, social media and pollution sound like they belong in a sci-fi novel."
-Stephen Trageser, Nashville Scene, 2017

"Scale Model have undoubtedly found a middle ground between tight, heavy sounding drums, bass, and guitar, and the transient yet forward-propelling synth that makes the whole cluster of tracks on their recently released Star album transcend the normative staples of the over-saturated pop genre. What feels right (or at least absolutely right now) about Scale Model is the perfect balance throughout Star; every element in its place and in service of a set of sinuous, hook-laden, elegantly crafted pop songs."
-Amadeus Magazine, 2014

"From the reverb-slathered, Edge-esque guitar riff of album opener “El Cheapo” to the hearty, resounding synth line of closer “Impression,” locals Scale Model’s debut LP Star is rife with sonic references to the biggest, sleekest synth-pop and post-punk acts of the ’80s. Star’s standout...is likely its unapologetically glossy production, created with a cast of all-stars including Jeremy Ferguson and Bully frontwoman Alicia Bognanno (who oversaw tracking at Battle Tapes) and Self’s Matt Mahaffey (who mixed the record). The songs themselves are fun, optimistic and endearingly nerdy..."
