Le Lotus
Imagine: A basement. Now imagine you’re in the basement. And in the basement, a band plays. Melodies glisten, guitars roar. You’re surrounded by the stuff of dreams. You ask yourself, ‘what band is this?’ A voice from within whispers, ‘This is le Lotus, from Raleigh, NC.’ Why a basement? Not really sure…
candiland
candiland is a 5-piece indie rock / dream pop band based in Chapel Hill, North Carolina. Drawing from the dreamy textures of My Bloody Valentine and Cocteau Twins alongside the songwriting of Wednesday and Big Thief, their sound blends shoegaze, alternative rock, and indie folk into something immersive and emotionally direct.
Fronted by singer and primary lyricist Lily Mars, the band moves between intimate, reflective moments and louder, more cathartic passages. Guitarists Ace McAteer and Gabe Harmon build colorful, dreamlike atmospheres through layered tones and interplay, while Asher de la Torre (bass) and Ayden Taylor (drums) provide a steady, driving foundation.
The members come from across the Triangle but consider Chapel Hill home, where they’ve been steadily building a presence through live performances and a growing catalog of original music.
Lilac Drive
Lilac Drive is a band that creates vibrant yet moody dream pop with rock elements based in the Traingle area of NC. They are a three-piece band consisting of Libby Miller on bass, lead vocals, and guitar, Charlie Bird on guitar and synth and Henry Sasser on the drums. They have performed at venues including The Pour House, The Cave and The Orb.
The founders of the band, Libby and Charlie, started creating music together in 2023. They wrote a few songs with musician and producer Aidan Thomann, who is featured on their first single titled “Take The Chance,” released in August of 2025. It is available on all streaming platforms, and they are excited to continue releasing singles, and eventually an EP this summer.Follow them on Instagram, Facebook or TikTok under @lilacdriveband
