Dark Satellite

—

From multiple cities and influences of music, comes a band that avoids all types of conformity. That band is known as Dark Satellite. Each member grew up playing different styles, coming together to form a one of a kind band with a coalescence of riffs and song structures. Mixing various types of rock genres, blues, jazz and experimental indie progressions results in their own unique aesthetic and wall of sound. Distorted jazz chords, 1950's melodies, grindcore inspired riffs covered in their own unique lyrical poetry. Dark Satellite is a band that has bloomed into their own style of music that some cannot fully categorize. The band decided not to follow the traditional song structures either, but to create their own depending on how they want each song to feel. Based in the San Francisco and East Bay Area of California, the band consists of members Charlie Hanlon (guitar), Trevor Gabriel (bass/vocals) and Travis Drumm (drums, no joke). “Death of a Classic" their second album was released early of 2023. Currently avaliable on Alternative Tentacles Records. Unlike their first album "Alone with Everyone" (2021), “Death of a Classic" was an approach to get back to the basics of stripped down playing. Dark Satellite is a band that plays with emotion, bending their strings while riding the guitar amp feedback, letting the drums be free. If you're looking for a nostalgic powerhouse of a band with sprinkles of timeless inspiration, I'd say look no further than Dark Satellite.

Tektonic

—

Based out of East Bay, CA; each member of Tektonic brings their individual influences and style into the band. Epic jam sessions spanning back to late ’21 have produced a sound that encapsulates the extraterrestrial psychedelic spirit of Hendrix mixed with traditional Himalayan melodies, a dash of RHCP funk, heavy psych grooves, and experimental vocals that encapsulates today’s hip hop with yesterday’s shoegaze.

Be sure to check out their latest single 'Path of the Wizard'.

Goof

—

Goof is a punk trio from the San Francisco Bay Area led by songwriter and guitarist Ahmed Amer Elsayed. Goof's music draws from a range of influences, combining distorted buzzsaw guitar and melodic bass lines with pounding, yet tastefully complex drums. Like the Egyptian music Ahmed grew up with, Goof’s lyrics are about serious issues, sung with uplifting and driving melodies. Since forming in early 2019, Goof has exploded onto the Bay Area music scene with charm, ambition, and talent. They have opened for punk legends like Agent Orange and The Avengers, and have played iconic Bay Area venues like Slim’s (RIP) and 924 Gilman before even having a practice space to call their home.

Goof‘s current lineup includes drummer Taylor Martin, bringing with her a metal influence and a level of drumming rarely heard in punk music, and bassist John Castberg, formerly of progressive metal band Bispora, bringing with him a refined and heavy bass sound.

Goof’s debut album “Kill ‘Em All” sees them coming out of the underground swinging. It chronicles a period of time during Ahmed’s journey from Egypt to San Francisco, pursuing his goal to create art for everyone. “Kill ‘Em All” was engineered, mixed and mastered by Jack Shirley (Jeff Rosenstock, Deafheaven, Loma Prieta, Gouge Away) at The Atomic Garden in Oakland, CA. Goof‘s second album “G2: Gudgement Day” comes out April 2025 .

Former band members: Ryan Bahm (Bass on “Goof”, “Kill’ Em All”) Josh Compton (Drums /vocals on “Goof”).
