Magic Castles
Magic Castles are a neo-psychedelic band from Minneapolis MN, formed in the late 2000s by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Jason Edmonds. Their music is characterized by lush, layered arrangements and warm vocal harmonies. Utilizing an arsenal of vintage amps, guitars and farfisa organs, their style draws from folk-rock influences of the late 60s, while also incorporating elements of shoegaze and modern indie rock. Their song “Ballad of the Golden Bird” caught the attention of Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre and led to their signing with A Recordings Ltd, culminating in four albums from 2012-2022
Magic Castles single, “Lost Dimension”, from the 2021 album, “Sun Reign” was featured in an episode of the hit HBO series Succession (s 3 ep 7)
After touring Europe in 2023, Jason has been hard at work finishing 12 new songs that were recorded with the band at the legendary Pachyderm Studios in Minnesota. The 2LP is scheduled for release March 2026 on Fuzz Club Records.

Pete International Airport
Pete International Airport is the brain child of Peter G. Holmström. Its name is borrowed from a song title by his other band, The Dandy Warhols. Pete International Airport's third album, It Felt Like the End of the World, is a triumph of process and vision. The eclectic project nails the elusive aesthetic of unexpected yet inviting sound.

Pink Breath of Heaven
Pink Breath of Heaven is the visionary project of Liv Field and Rex John Shelverton (Tamaryn), blending shimmering guitars, haunting melodies, and introspective lyricism. Their sound merges the lush textures of shoegaze with the boundless energy of psychedelia, crafting immersive landscapes where color and emotion collide. Following the breakout success of Blue Is the Morning, they have performed alongside The Dandy Warhols, LSD and the Search for God, Alison's Halo, and Ulrika Spacek, becoming a force in San Francisco's psych-rock underground. Their debut album, Colors Make a Sound, distills this intensity into a cohesive work that cements the band as a singular voice in contemporary psych and shoegaze.
