IN PLAIN AIR — In Plain Air is a psychedelic rock trio from Denver consisting of Jake DeMarco (bass), Ben Mallairo (guitar), and Nate Tharp (drums). The group, formed in 2019, released its debut EP, Pillars, in March 2022, fusing garage, indie, and prog-rock elements into a unique psychedelic blend. The band is back with two new singles - “A View From The End of a Dream” and “Egress.”

In Plain Air started as an instrumental progressive band, but all three members have since stepped up to add vocals. Ben’s raspy-bluesy style and Jake’s smooth indie-style voices combine with Nate’s falsetto harmonies to give the band a wide range of vocal tones in their music. They say their sound is a modern psychedelic prog-rock blend that incorporates three-part harmonies, synthesizers, odd time signatures, polyrhythms, looping, and a wall of effects in their live performances and recordings.

SONUS — SÖNUS is the acid-drenched brainchild of singer/songwriter/multi-instrumental mastermind David Wachsman. SÖNUS is a genre-blending space/stoner/psych/prog/heavy rock/metal project out of San Jose, California, Inspired by the mystical sounds of Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Monster Magnet, The Stooges, Pink Floyd, and Captain Beyond (to name but a few).
