MAD HAPPY
There isn't one word in the phrase "guy/girl anti-folk" that Mad Happy doesn't turn completely on its head. Their Eastern European-inspired electro beats are the perfect compliment for their snarky lyrics. By the end of the night they will have completely lobotomized all your assumptions about music.

BAD BRILLIANCE
The street tough electro beats of Bad Brilliance are the perfect juxtaposition to his psychedelic stage presence. The visual elements to his bass-quaking tunes are mind-expanding performance pieces that often require audience participation and mock corporate aesthetics.
