★ Bromp Treb

Since 2002 Los Angeles-based artist Neil Young aka Neil ‘Cloaca’ Young has been performing and recording as Bromp Treb, a nonsense onomatopoeia for the rattling windows of a jalopy with an overenthusiastic subwoofer. Working through an improvised maze of crooked rhythms and tangled textures, Young uses his voice/body, synthesis, tapes, percussion, drum machines and whatever else is available to squish time and space back into the hilariously delicate traps of decorum and order. The spring is never coiled up tight enough. Noise is joyful failure music. Bromp Treb has many recordings in circulation and has performed at a smattering of fancy-pants arts institutions and schools as well as countless basements, bars, lofts, living rooms, galleries and closets all around North America and Europe.

★ SrslyWow

Sofia Salvo (Drummachines, Samplers)

Guido Kohn (Cello)

Margaret Unknown (Lapsteel Guitar)

In the realm of Srsly Wow, every performance is a unique adventure. They thrive on the thrill of uncertainty, embracing the unknown with open arms. Their virtuosity knows no limits, as they fearlessly navigate through intricate melodies, complex harmonies, and mind-bending rhythms. Each member brings their own distinct flavor, blending together in a harmonious explosion of sonic wizardry.
