STRANGE MACHINES -
New England based quartet Strange Machines has made a name for themselves in the East Coast jam scene over the past decade. A true melting pot of musical fusion with sounds catering to a multitude of genre’s (rock, reggae, funk, livetronica) and diving into the undefinable all while stringing their music together seamlessly to create a fluid and captivating live performance. Their original songs are nuanced by creative composition, practiced precision, and a looseness that allows them to truly explore the music they create.
They have shared the stage with national-touring acts such as The Disco Biscuits, Twiddle, Dopapod, Papadosio, Goose, EOTO, The Motet, Pigeons Playing Ping Pong, Spafford, lespecial, Neighbor, Turkuaz, Kung Fu, TAUK, Deep Banana Blackout and more. Strange Machines have carved out their own niche in the east coast music scene and beyond and show no signs of slowing down.
On Oct 7, 2025 Strange Machines released their third full length studio album ‘Playing with Fire’, which has been met with rave reviews. “More than anything, Playing With Fire is about growth—musically, emotionally, and as a band. Strange Machines blend funk, rock, electronic, metal, and jam in a way that feels cohesive rather than scattered. Each track pulls you somewhere new, but by the end, you feel like you’ve walked through something bigger than just a record. It’s an album that resonates, the sound of a band fully stepping into who they are and connecting so deeply with themselves and their fans that it becomes something personal and lasting.” – Live For Live Music
NIGHT ZERO -
"Night Zero - The night before the big event. The one you swear you’ll take it easy—but never do. Night Zero is the pre-party that becomes the main event, the night out you didn’t see coming but won’t soon forget. And now, it’s a band.
This cast of incredible artists brings together some of the jam scene’s most revered players for a raw, unscripted throwdown that blends rock, funk, jazz, and deep improvisation with nothing off-limits.
The core lineup is a one-of-a-kind fusion of styles and personalities, rarely seen together on one stage. Rob Compa (Dopapod), known for his mind-bending guitar work and precision improvisation. Gubb (Twiddle), whose unmistakable bass tone and groove drive every jam with grit and finesse. Adrian Tramontano (Kung Fu/Twiddle), a rhythmic powerhouse with jaw-dropping chops and relentless energy. Leon Campos (Dwight & Nicole), whose warm, soulful keys bring depth and color to every note.
These are players who don’t just complement each other—they push each other, unlocking something new every time they play. The kind of chemistry you can’t plan, only discover—when the right musicians collide at the right moment.
Night Zero —never planned, always unforgettable."
