About Dave Cavalier:
Dave Cavalier, born in Chicago, Illinois on January 23rd, 1987, grew up knowing he was going to be a musician. After graduating from York Community High School, he took his talents to the highly esteemed Berklee College of Music, in Boston where he refined his musical talents. Upon graduating, Cavalier headed west to pursue his dream of having a career in music. He became an instant draw in the local Hollywood music scene as a solo artist.
In 2014, Dave recorded his debut solo E.P. “HOWL” with Grammy nominated producer Hal Winer. This opened to the door for Cavalier to perform at numerous festivals across the country sharing the billings with names such as Don Henley, Aloe Blacc, Kendrick Lamar, Manchester Orchestra, Local H, Kenny Wayne Shepard, Amos Lee, Band of Horses, and many more.
Dave Cavalier's musical style has drawn comparisons to Gary Clark Jr., Jack White, and Robert Palmer.

Interview with corook

We had the pleasure of interviewing corook over Zoom video!
corook [pronounced ‘co-rook’] has blessed us all with her debut achoo! EP, is available today at all DSPs and streaming services. Comprised of seven surprising, humorous, and insightful tracks such as recently released singles, “idk god,” “degree,” “bad friend,” and “sims,” achoo! arrives with three new songs including “snakes,” which corook added to the EP following a series of well-received teases across social media and live performances on tour.
Creating an undeniably genre-busting sound all her own, corook tackles deeply personal themes in her music and visuals through a unique, quirky and humorous lens. The Nashville-based artist’s unforgettable debut single, “sims” sees the Nashville-based musician creating a genre-busting sound all her own, fusing 64-bit bleeps and bloops with a head-nodding beat, glitchy guitar, and clever lyrics in both English and Simlish. Co-written with Caroline Pennell (Demi Lovato, Hailee Steinfeld, Selena Gomez) and Lauren Aquilina (Demi Lovato, Olivia O’Brien, Ava Max) and self-produced by corook, “sims” is joined by a hilarious music video in which corook becomes an actual Sim.
“sims” was followed the introspective “bad friend,” complemented by an official music video –featuring corook singing directly to her “former friends,” played by her actual real-life besties.
A comedic take on today’s college experience, hysterically narrated through an incredibly awkward job interview and conversation with her father, “degree” is joined by an official music video in which corook hilariously stars in all three roles.
The timely “idk god arrived next, revealing a spiritually searching side to corook’s powerful songcraft.
corook – who only just wrapped her first-ever North American live run traveling as special guest on K.Flay’s sold out “Inside Voices Outside Voices Tour,” followed by an exhilarating performance at LA’s School Night – will return to the road this summer as she joins JP Saxe on tour, beginning June 3rd in Indianapolis before making her festival debut performance at Bonnaroo on June 19th.

Interview with Cy Dune

We had the pleasure of interviewing Cy Dune over Zoom video!
Cy Dune is the explosive, post genre positive punk project of artist/producer Seth Olinsky, the co-founder of legendary underground noise folk experimentalists Akron/Family. Sparked by a turn towards the primal, transcendent energy of rock music and informed by his lifelong love of early blues music, Seth has explored Blues, 50’s rock n roll, and 60s/70s proto punk through this unique lens via his Cy Dune project. He recently dropped the latest album from his Cy Dune project, Against Face – a metapunk blast through 20th century art school punk forms mashed together into one hyperreal, hypermodern 18-minute tour de force, due out March 3rd via Lightning Studios.
Along with the album announcement, Cy Dune shares the album’s title track which features a drummer exhausting, relentlessly flat floor tom pattern, a spazz jazz guitar solo and, lyrically, “a sort of ranty, self aware sincerest jab at the modern cultural techno rat race problem we humans all have, with a little nod to ‘No Fun’ from The Stooges.” Olinsky adds, “But ultimately, as with much of Cy Dune songs, the new track represents fun with music’s societal forms more than a hardline ideological perspective, and fits mostly in line with the truly committed aspect of the Cy Dune music again and again to Energy Music and its positive impact on humanity"
The album release follows the fun, no wave single “Don’t Waste My Time,” released in late-2021. The track was Cy Dune’s first new music since 2019’s album Desert.
Seth’s projects have always had a post genre approach to music making. Collaging several genres simultaneously to create multi-meaning, and purposefully juxtaposing authentic and pure songwriting sincerity, with self-aware meta-meaning and pranksterism. Take for example Akron/Family’s scope from folk balladry to post jazz improv to the BMBZ project, a pre-meme internet noise take down interpretation of the S/T II album. Nothing was ever as it seemed on any given, first seen surface with Akron/Family, and it took a deeper investigation to find out about the whole story and how all the pieces fit together.
