The Band Memo burst onto the NYC music scene in early 2025, quickly earning a reputation for their electrifying performances. Their sound nods to the spirit of classic rock, but with a perspective that feels fresh and original. Combining virtuosic musicianship with thoughtful, tightly crafted songwriting, their live sets are a dynamic journey - from soaring, guitar-fueled anthems and psychedelic dance breaks to moments of raw self-reflection.After selling out their first two headlining shows, The Band Memo is quickly becoming one of NYC's most talked-about emerging acts.

Free Whenever's music sits somewhere in between form (saguna) and formlessness (nirguna).The band's guiding philosophy and approach to making music is rooted in long-form improvisation resulting in a unique blend of vintage psychedelia, dub, eastern modality, african rhythmic tradition and melodic guitar that leaves listeners high -- fully immersed in a synesthetic sound experience.Their new self-titled LP is the Brooklyn-based trio's latest statement and has brought them attention among fans and musicians alike. Coupled with electrifying live shows, Free Whenever is continuing to make waves throughout the modern psychedelic music scene, sharing the stage with acts like Karina Rykman and Balthvs and playing venues like Brooklyn Bowl, Baby's All Right, and The Sultan Room.
Free Whenever’s music sits somewhere in between form (saguna) and formlessness (nirguna).
The band’s guiding philosophy and approach to making music is rooted in the ancient practice of long-form improvisation. By submitting to the collective subconscious, raw feelings, sounds, and ideas emerge. This practice invites listeners to participate in the same state of mind at any time. It is universal psychedelic music.
Their self-recorded studio material is balanced and diverse. Hypnotic, conversational bass and guitar melodies float over a strong foundation of pulsating rhythms in a full synesthetic sound experience. Without allegiance to any one style they fuse vintage psychedelia, dub reggae, far eastern and African music, funk, soul, and more while their live shows blossom into areas that challenge the idea of what psychedelic music is.
Free Whenever is steadily making waves across the modern psychedelic music scene, sharing stages with artists like Karina Rykman, BALTHVS, TAUK, and Christian Kuria while bringing their dynamic live show to premier NYC venues such as Brooklyn Bowl and Sony Music Hall. The band has toured extensively throughout North America, performing from Miami to Vermont and across major cultural hubs including Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Boston, and Washington D.C., building a dedicated following with their immersive, high-energy performances.
