BIRD & THE WAR IS A POST-ROCK BAND FROM LOS ANGELES, CA

BIRD & THE WAR IS NOT YOUR TYPICAL POST-ROCK BAND. BY ARCHITECTING A COLORFUL SONIC BLEND OF  ELECTRONICA, AMBIENT, SHOEGAZE AND MORE, THEY’VE CREATED AN UNDENIABLY ORIGINAL, CINEMATIC, AND EVEN REVOLUTIONARY FORCE IN THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SCENE. LAYERING INNOVATIVE TEXTURES AND TONES ONTO THE FAMILIAR AESTHETICS OF BANDS LIKE BON IVER, THE NATIONAL, AND EXPLOSIONS IN THE SKY, B&TW OFFERS AN IMPRESSIONISTIC COMPILATION OF AUTHENTICITY, EMOTION AND QUIET AGGRESSION— MAKING THEM A UNIQUE VOICE IN THE CONTEMPORARY ALT SOUNDSCAPE.

YOU CAN UNLOCK THE FULL, SYMPHONIC ARTISTRY OF B&TW ON THEIR SELF-TITLED E.P. FROM THE ALMOST-MEDITATIVE FIRST TRACK, “LOCK & KEY,” SONGWRITER AND FRONTMAN CHRIS JAMES BUILDS A SONIC STRUCTURE AROUND THE LISTENER, BRICK BY BRICK, BEFORE THE SONG COLLAPSES BACK INTO MINIMALISM FOLLOWED BY THE DRIVEN, YET AMBITIOUS “STONE HEART” TRANSITIONING SEAMLESSLY INTO THE LEONARD COHEN-ESQUE TRACK “BONE & FLESH,” WHICH IS NOTABLE FOR ITS PENSIVE REFLECTION. “ADOBE” IS THE STRAIGHTEST, MOST POP-SENSIBLE SONG ON THE ALBUM, BUILT ON A THREE-CHORD STRUCTURE. HOWEVER, BY “ADOBE’S” END, B&TW SLIPS IN A SERIES OF MULTI-LAYERED AND IMPRESSIONISTIC VOCALS AND GUITARS. AND SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST, “LOCHS & LAKES” DRIVES THE LISTENER WITH A SERIES OF DYNAMIC GEAR SHIFTS SPLICED WITH AN ASTUTE USE OF TECHNOLOGY VIA AUTO-TUNE.

MUCH OF CALIFORNIA HAS ALREADY DISCOVERED BIRD & THE WAR, FROM THE NORCAL CLUB SCENE (SAN FRANCISCO’S HOTEL UTAH), TO SOCAL’S FINEST VENUES (ANAHEIM’S HOUSE OF BLUES, THE CONSTELLATION ROOM, HOLLYWOOD’S ON THE ROX AND AVALON BARDOT, DOWNTOWN L.A.’S BODEGA CALIFAS). THEY’VE PARTNERED WITH ORANGE COUNTY PRODUCER// RECORDING ENGINEER JOSHUA P. BROOKS, ACCLAIMED SOCAL VIDEO ARTISTS LITTLE FELLA MEDIA, AND ARE CURRENTLY SIGNED WITH LOS ANGELES-BASED MUSIC PUBLISHERS RIPTIDE MUSIC GROUP.

BUT TO LABEL B&TW A CALIFORNIA BAND IS INSUFFICIENT. WITH THE UPCOMING RELEASE OF THEIR FULL LENGTH ALBUM 'R H E T O R I C', TO THE WIDESPREAD POPULARITY THEY’VE FOUND ON THE INTERNET, THIS IS A BAND WHOSE REACH—LIKE THEIR SOUND—DEFIES CONVENTIONAL BOUNDARIES. MUSIC WEBSITES HAVE GIVEN EXTENSIVE NOTICE TO B&TW’S UP-AND-COMING SOUND, WHICH EXAMINER CALLED “MUSICAL BLOWS WITH GENTLE REPOSE, SIMULTANEOUSLY EXPOSING THEIR SOFT UNDERBELLY TO THE LISTENER.” BLACK ON THE CANVAS HAS DECLARED: “BIRD & THE WAR TAKE FLIGHT AND CLIMB ABOVE THE PACK. THIS BAND STANDS OUT WITH AN ORIGINAL SOUND THAT GRABS YOUR ATTENTION FAST AND MAKES A LASTING IMPRESSION.”

THE FUTURE IS NOW FOR THE SOCAL DUO, AND THEIR MUSICAL VISION IS HEARTBREAKING, EMOTIONAL AND ARRESTING TO THE LISTENER. DON’T BE SURPRISED IF YOU HEAR BIRD & THE WAR ON LOCAL RADIO, ON YOUR FAVORITE MUSIC APP, OR ON A MOVIE SOUNDTRACK. MEET THE AMBIENT INDIE-ROCK BAND THAT’S POISED TO RECONFIGURE MODERN ALTERNATIVE MUSIC FOR YEARS TO COME.

Rene Tovar, better known as Dxsko, was born in Indio, California. A multi-genre DJ, Dxsko built his foundation while attending CSUSB, quickly becoming a resident DJ across Southern California.

In 2012, he joined the independent label Black Cloud Music as their official DJ. The following year, he and his labelmates hit the road on the “Road to Paid Dues Tour,” opening for Fashawn, Prof, and legendary headliner Murs. From 2013–2017, Dxsko was deeply rooted in the Inland Empire’s hip-hop scene, performing alongside heavyweights like 2 Chainz, DMX, Curren$y, Murs, and more.

A career highlight came when Dxsko performed at the Coachella campgrounds and was unexpectedly tapped for a Weekend 1 opening set inside the fairgrounds. That set culminated in an unforgettable appearance on the Gobi Stage during the historic year headlined by Bad Bunny, Frank Ocean, and BLACKPINK.

Today, Dxsko holds multiple residencies throughout Southern California and tours nationally with powerhouse events such as Gasolina Party and Reggaeton Rave. Known for blending house, hip-hop, R&B, reggaeton, and his guilty-pleasure boogie funk, he delivers high-energy sets that fuse nostalgia with modern flair. His versatility and signature sound have made him a staple in Southern California’s vibrant nightlife, captivating dance floors from intimate venues to massive festivals.


In 2017, Dxsko made the move back to the Coachella Valley to rebuild his brand. He has been a resident dj at various venues around the valley. For example, Agua Caliente CC, Moxie Nightclub, Bart Lounge, Copa Nightclub, Antigua and the newly open Pretty Faces.

Dxsko is currently taking many residencies all around Southern California through big parties like Gasolina Party, Y2K AF, and Belico Party held at Reforma Palm Springs. In 2023, Dxsko had the opportunity to play the Coachella campgrounds and was surprised with a Weekend 1 opening set inside the fairgrounds, culminating in an unforgettable appearance on the lineup at the Gobi stage. That historic year featured headliners Bad Bunny, Frank Ocean, and BLACKPINK, cementing Dxsko’s presence among a star-studded festival roster.

With a seamless blend of Dance music, house, hip hop, R&B, 2000s music, and reggaeton, DXSKO continues to captivate crowds, delivering high-energy sets that embody both nostalgia and modern flair. As a well-known local DJ, DXSKO’s signature sound and versatility have made him a staple in Southern California’s vibrant music scene, keeping dance floors alive from intimate venues to massive festivals.

Mark Keyo is a Trance and Progressive DJ/Producer from Orange County California. In love with music from a young age, he started his musical journey learning the guitar when he was just 5. From that moment, he found his first love. Mark then moved on to the clarinet and tenor saxophone, playing jazz and classical through both middle school and high school. It was there that he learned about music theory, structure, and how to read and write notated music. His major change in musical style came when, and he quotes, "I realized that while playing these instruments, I was only one part of a larger sound. I wanted to BE the sound." While this change of musical direction didn't happen over night, he quickly caught on to the technique. With his already significant musical knowledge, he was able to transition into the world of electronic dance music with ease. During in the process, he became keen upon separating himself from the rest of the pack, by putting his own unique sound into every piece of work he does. With originals and mashups featured on worldwide radio shows such as Paul Oakenfold's Planet Perfecto Radio, and recently launching his new monthly NightShift Podcast, Mark Keyo is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. This is just the beginning. You're definitely going to want to keep an eye on this quickly rising star.
