MONSTER RALLY
Monster Rally is the musical project of Cleveland-based artist Ted Feighan. Monster Rally has been a major force in the rise and popularity of tropic-tinged and mellow lo-fi production over the past ten years.
Equally inspired by 90s hip-hop and 60s exotica, Monster Rally has created his own tropical world that invites the listener to come along. His signature dreamy and escapist compositions are instantly recognizable and have garnered the attention of countless fans and music critics alike, racking up over 75 million streams in the process. He’s performed at several top festivals including Outside Lands, Noise Pop, SXSW, CMJ and Treefort Fest.
Feighan is also an accomplished visual artist working on exclusive collaborations with Topo Chico, Juneshine, Subliminal Projects (Shepard Fairey’s gallery), The Standard Hotel, and Urban Outfitters, as well as his own exhibitions.
Monster Rally's latest release, the Flower Shower EP, was released via his own imprint on July 28th, 2023, and does well to complement the critically acclaimed full-length Botanica Dream (Best Albums of 2022 - Gorilla vs Bear).
KAINALU
Kainalu is a psychedelic funk recording project by independent multi-instrumentalist and producer, Trent Prall. Drawing influence from modern psychedelia and classic motown artists he grew up listening to, Kainalu’s unique sound has gained international appeal. Kainalu’s core is rooted in Prall’s Japanese-Hawaiian heritage; the word roughly translates to ocean waves, but more personally the concept of the ocean rising and breaking down the islands through time and the impermanence of life. Kainalu explores this meaning through both its sound and visuals. Joined by a guitarist, Joe Waldbillig, bassist, Evan Nelson, drummers, Matthew Allen and Julian Russell and conguero, Aaron Gochberg. Prall creates a more jam-oriented live interpretation of his recorded music. Kainalu’s sophomore album, “Ginseng Hourglass,” was released in November of 2022.
