GOBI

GOBI's debut release "Gold On Black Ice (Deluxe) LP", takes the Austin-based trio's indie-dance style and adds new depths, allowing the bass and beats to drive fans to the dance floor, but also creating images of fading dreams and a nostalgic yearning for the past.  It is rare to find this type of dimension from a band known for turning Texas clubs into blazing dance floors, but GOBI has achieved the balance of meshing dark, sometimes cinematic beats, with the mosaic of imagery that vocalist Chuco Phil delivers through tight rap inspired flows and melodic choruses.  GOBI's newest single "Dream With Me" seems to rise from a place that is both comfort and pain, a landscape that soothes with swooping synth tones, and haunts with a touching grace.

On the LP, Justin Dillon accomplishes the majority of the heavy electronic emphasis in the production, using analog synths and modern plug-ins, taking cues and inspiration from the likes of Deadmau5 and Nero, but the band is far from pushing play when it comes to their live performance. Though GOBI presents itself on record as an electronic heavy group, drummer Matthew Kevin Dunn adds a live element that is a spiritual awakening for percussion enthusiasts.

In a city known for music, the band's energy fueled live show has gained them Austin Music Foundation's artist of the month, and last summer the mayor of Austin declared June 6th as GOBI day.  GOBI has shared the stage and opened for acts ranging from: G-Eazy, The Cool Kids, and Chiddy Bang, to Dj's such as MSTRKRFT, Treasure Fingers, Z-Trip, Paper Diamond, and new dance groups Big Gigantic, Future Rock, and Nobody Beats the Drum.  GOBI has showcased and performed at Insomniac's Nocturnal Fest, Neon Desert Music Fest, Bacardi+ Fest, Red Guerrilla Music Fest, and the Pachanga Music Festival.  The band's re-release of their debut LP "Gold On Black Ice" will include 5 unreleased songs and will be available February 10, 2015.

PAPER PILOTS

Los Angeles-based Paper Pilots release two new singles August 12th combining elements of Britpop aesthetic and melody with the vibrant characteristics of current alt-rock and pop production.

“Arrow” begins with a riff that hints at The Zombies before steadily driving into a wall of guitars and flaunting explosive drums of the early-90′s UK dubstep, later honed by Tame Impala. The second single “Free Ride” offers contemporary indie pop with reference to The Jam, Julian Casablancas’ solo work, and the tight electronic dance rhythms of Ratatat.

Paper Pilots recently made an appearance in the Season 6 finale of HBO’s True Blood, performing three songs from their self-titled EP.  Both “Arrow” and “Free Ride” have been heard on KROQ, KCRW, and KCSN, showcasing production work from Sean Walsh (Neon Trees, Chromeo), Ülysses Nöriega (The Wedding Present, The Mars Volta), Angelo Caputo (Lana Del Rey, Imagine Dragons), and John Girgus (Aberdeen, C.A.G.E.)
