About Leah Capelle
Leah Capelle is a stunningly, talented singer/songwriter from Chicago. Her brand of indie rock will stop you in your tracks, and she has certainly amplified her sound in her upcoming EP, Joshua. Capelle has been performing and studying music from a young age. She attended the Berklee College of Music in Boston before moving to the West Coast to pursue music full-time. At that time, she partnered with Grammy winning producer Jeff Bova (Celine Dion, Meatloaf, Blondie) to release her self-titled debut EP, Leah Capelle.
In 2015, Capelle finally found a group of immensely talented musicians to form her band and already they have played at SXSW and collaborated with the likes of Rob Lewis, Arden Kaywin, and Pam Sheyne, Capelle is getting ready to release her new EP, Joshua late this summer. The making of this EP was a very intimate experience for the young artist who says that writing it became an outlet for her to express her emotions after experiencing a personal tragedy in 2014. This will be her second EP working with Jeff Bova and aims to be her first time sharing her vulnerabilities through her narratives and discovering her new sound.
Capelle’s band features: Will Wu (lead guitar), Rodrigo Moreno (upright and electric bassist), Hayley Brownell (drums), and Michael O’Grady (guitar).

“As a nightly consumer of red wine, I was shocked one evening to find I had just half a glass left in the bottle. So I did what any decent alcoholic, ex-con, American would do… I went to the fridge and the liquor cabinet, then poured, mixed and measured. Thus Mangria was born.” — Adam Carolla

About Moving Units
The club lights are low. The dance floor is a sweaty blur of shadows. You can feel the blood and adrenaline surging through the crowd. There’s a band on stage and they are telepathically connected to the audience — making bodies bounce like it was a feat of mind control. This is Moving Units and this is their natural element: unadulterated grooves and constant motion.
Moving Units have bottled this chemistry since their self-titled 2002 EP debut. When Blake Miller first started writing demos and recruiting band mates to help expand his vision, the idea of fusing dance music and indie rock was practically alien. Leading the way along with groups like The Rapture, Franz Ferdinand, The Faint and Bloc Party, Moving Units were at the vanguard of bringing body-rocking grooves to scythe-edged rock & roll. They pioneered a brand of “Dance Punk” that exploded into clubs and radio stations across the globe. “Back then, no one danced at shows in LA. People were trying to play it cool,” Miller says.” We wanted to shake things up and make people boogie.”
Tastes have changed. Members have joined and left the band. But the locomotion inspired by their music remains immutable. Credit the ease with which Miller has merged into contemporary dance culture. A DJ himself, Miller’s remixes with Steve Aoki and Le Castle Vania have earned tons of spins worldwide.
“I’ve never abandoned the concept that a live band can turn out a hot dance party,” Miller says. “It’s about conveying that energy and allowing people to have a visceral and euphoric connection.”
April 8th, 2016 saw the release of the band’s 4th LP, Damage With Care. Miller considers it their most engaging, aggressive and visionary work since the classic Dangerous Dreams LP dropped over a decade ago. The perfect soundtrack for channeling urgent impulses and anxious adventures on a post punk millennial dance floor, the album consists of 10 explosive tracks that wind their way up your spine and into your hearts and minds!
With Damage With Care, Miller says he wanted to invoke a naiveté and passion he felt when he wrote the first LP over a decade ago. Fashion always plays a part when it comes to Moving Units and you can feel it in the groves… everything from Alexander Wang, Vivienne Westwood, Warhol, Basquiat and even Patti Smiths Just Kids biography found ways to influence the look and feel of Damage With Care. With tracks like “Opposite of Rhyming,” Moving Units plaster their past all over the record, while songs like “Wishful Thinking” and “Fragile Magic” melodically wind their way to the dance floor with hooks you can’t shake. “There is a satisfying balance of raw punk influences from the 70’s and 80’s, as well as sexy bass lines and hi-fi production value throughout” says Miller.

About Yaysh
“I would say my style could be described as if Adele and Kanye had a baby, and Drake was my cousin,” says Yaysh. As brash as that statement is, the singer/rapper can back it up. One spin of her single “Wild One” brings to mind the aforementioned superstars, with producer R8dio setting her pop-encrusted vocal melodies and funky rap verse against a backdrop of stuttering rhythmic patterns. The hip-hop side of her vocal delivery might have been honed on the streets in freestyle ciphers, but “Wild One” proves that Yaysh’s musical style is far more diverse to be pigeonholed into one specific genre tag.
On the personality front, Yaysh is as outspoken as her music is eclectic. “Music these days has become so watered down and almost non-individualized,” says the Boulder, Colorado native. “I have such a big mouth that I need somewhere to put all my vibe, my heart and music is a huge vehicle for that.”
Now based in LA, Yaysh explains why she wants to represent a new kind of sex symbol. “I don’t look like a model but I am sexy, and I’m going to propagate the shit out of that and my open sexuality. I’m kind of ordinary, extra ordinary, but my soul shines so fucking bright that my sexiness is a complete sexiness; rather than just the flesh. I’m sexy because I know myself.”
A bold balance of talent and attitude, Yaysh is the exact musical force the pop landscape needs right now. “I want people to feel free when they hear my music and almost a little embarrassed or stripped cuz my shit is just real and inescapable, magnetic, and delicious.” Music fans will get a chance to envelope themselves in Yaysh’s world when her album drops later in 2016.

About Kai Elle
Kai Elle is an independent singer-songwriter, recording artist and celebrity yoga teacher. A “sonic day dreamer” with an other-worldly ability to transcend into heavenly states.
Coming off her recent collaboration with Robbie Williams for her song “Carry On” (which charted internationally) she decided to bring that divine ethereal aspect into a more pop sound.
Continuously battling serious depression, Kai Elle turned to yoga and meditation to keep herself strong and focused. After becoming a certified yoga teacher, she finished writing “Dynamo,” an uplifting song about people needing to cultivate the immeasurable energy from within in order to shine. Kai continues to share her philosophy with various celebrity clients through her yoga teachings while guiding her passion in music.
The Dynamo EP includes the cinematic “St Barths.” While working a sales job, Kai Elle often fantasized about trading places with the jet-setting women she assisted. The video is a cheeky, homage to her days playing dress-up with the apparel while envisioning the glamorous and ‘tres chic’ lifestyle. “St Barths” recently aired on LATV’s The Zoo and was seen by millions of viewers nationwide.
Another powerful, and catchy, pop track is the soon to be released single “The Queen.” “The Wedding Song,” is a processional ballad from the groom’s perspective, a standpoint often overlooked. Last but not least is a more jazz influenced song, dedicated to all the girls Kai has met who had that special something, a uniqueness or quality that gave them the special “it” factor. “It Girl” is a combination of those qualities and put it into a song as if she were one girl.
Written by Kai Elle and produced by Alberto Bof, The Dynamo EP is currently available on iTunes and has a resonating message of hope.

About The Curly Wolf
Diesel fuel, burning tires, and Fernet-Branca — that would be the aroma coming out of your speakers if you could smell the music. The Curly Wolf delivers a hard charging alt-country rock sound that comes from a variety of musical and cultural influences. Cash, Hank, Waylon… Rancid, The Misfits, Queens of The Stone Age… Trucks, Choppers, Vans…these are the common threads that brought these boys together to create an aggressive new music alternative to today’s standard country music.
Born on a Northern California ranch, Grant Benziger picked up the guitar at an early age and quickly developed his skills. He discovered punk and heavy metal through the local skate punk scene and immediately started putting his own bands together. At the ripe age of 14 he was fronting punk bands and playing bars and clubs he normally wouldn’t have been allowed to step foot in as a minor. His diesel-trucking brother soon showed him the ways of traditional and underground country music. Grant instantly took to the sounds of Hank Williams, Pasty Cline, Johnny Cash and many other old-time country legends. This influence began to meld with his current style and he began to develop his own aggressive rocking country sound.
Mike Bouchard spent most of his adolescent and college years in Georgia where he played in local punk and rock bands. In high school he quickly advanced to captain of the drum line, where he developed much of the chops he still uses in the band. After a move to Los Angeles, Mike opened Gasser Lounge in Redondo Beach — the place to go if you like your music loud and your drinks stiff! The bar would later play a key role in the creation and development of The Curly Wolf. Mike’s style is loud and heavy. He is the backbone to The Curly Wolf sound.
Matt Pliskin was born and raised in Los Angeles County’s South Bay. Growing up in an area responsible for bands like Black Flag, The Descendents, Circle Jerks, and Pennywise, Matt couldn’t help but be heavily influenced by the genre. He followed in the footsteps of these influences playing bass in various hardcore punk bands around the South Bay. It was through the sounds of rockabilly and pyschobilly that he realized the power of the upright bass. Matt and Grant attended the same music school in LA, but only linked up after answering an ad Grant posted looking for likeminded musicians. This was the start of The Curly Wolf.
From Nirvana and Metallica to The Wu-Tang Clan and NOFX, Billy’s musical influences run the gamut in punk, metal, and hip-hop. Billy played guitar in local punk and metal bands for over a decade. One day he heard some Bill Monroe and immediately fell in love with the mandolin and became fanatical about learning to master it. As a fan of The Curly Wolf, Billy really wanted to play with the guys, so he offered his services and started joining their set from time to time. It was an immediate and natural fit. He continued to play more and more Curly Wolf shows, so much so that they decided to make it official and the band now had a full time mandolin player. Billy’s aggressive yet beautiful (Mike likes to call it twinkly) sound on the mandolin really rounds out The Curly Wolf sound.
As previously mentioned, Mike’s Gasser Lounge played a key role in the formation of this group. Mike had received a copy of a unique cover Grant and Matt had made of “Die, Die, Die” by The Misfits. Mike instantly loved this version with Grant pickin’ the banjo and Matt slappin’ the upright bass. Mike decided to have them play the third anniversary party for his bar. Instantly a crowd favorite, this was the beginning of not only great new friendships but a new musical movement in the South Bay. Like the legendary punk bands that came before them, The Curly Wolf is rallying against the status quo. They are creating a harder, more aggressive style of country music that pays homage to its roots while trying to push the genre forward.
