Foam

There are at least four acts of the same name. -FOAM are a three-piece garage rock band from Perth, WA. FOAM are best known for their heavy live performances in which they deliver a distorted, swift, and honest sound that feels up the entire audience. With a solid reputation as a strong live band, they’ve played music all over this city with bands such as DZ Deathrays, Sugar Army, The Novocaines and Catch them this November for the Perth support of Bleeding Knees Club. Key influences include the musical giants of the 90’s, as well as surf, punk rock and Dido.

Kid Loco

An easy-listening trip-hopster similar in style and intent to his countrymen Air and Dimitri from Paris, Kid Loco has an even stronger kinship with the long tradition of French pop characterized by Serge Gainsbourg. Otherwise known as Jean-Yves Prieur, he began playing the guitar at the age of 13 and played in several French punk groups during the early '80s. He moved on to production as well by the end of the decade, and moved on to reggae and hip-hop with a band named Mega Reefer Scratch.

Emancipator

Emancipator (Douglas Appling) played his first live show in July 2009, opening for Bonobo at the Roseland Theater (cap. 1500). Since then, he’s toured with Bassnectar, drawn crowds at festivals like Trinumeral and Symbiosis, and closed out Sound Tribe Sector 9’s late night parties in Denver at the request of the band.

Cibo Matto

Cibo Matto is a New York City-based band formed by two Japanese women, Miho Hatori and Yuka Honda in 1994. Despite being based in the US rather than Japan, they have strong links with the shibuya-kei scene in their use of sampling and mixture of trip-hop and rock, but stand out amongst other such artist for their particularly strong use of Latin and South American music. Cibo Matto is an Italian phrase that means "crazy food".
