"SO MUCH FUN!" KAT CORBETT, KROQ
Inspired by the audience participation of the Flaming Lips, the anything-goes attitude of The Henry Clay People, and the over-the-toppedness of 80s tribute bands like Fast Times, Black Crystal Wolf Kids are the world's first indie-rock tribute band, paying costumed, sing-along-encouraged homage to the best music of right now (The Killers! MGMT! Billie Eilish!) as well as indie's storied past (The Pixies! The Talking Heads! The Cure!).
They're also something of an all-star band in their own right: frontman Jeff Miller, drummer Gregg Levinson, and guitarist/singer Mark Pedante all did time in the now-defunct band City Museum, while keyboardist/singer Valerie Taylor also plays with The Terpsichords and has toured with Charles Neville (among others) and bassist Marc Gasway is often spotted at the critically acclaimed bar The Varnish in Downtown LA, where hes the musical director. "I'd gotten sick of going to see indie-rock shows on the Eastside with great, fun bands, and seeing the audience standing still with their arms crossed," says Miller, semi-ironically. "The music is great -- why not have fun and sing along to it??"
That attitude's also led to on-stage appearances from members of some of the country's best actual indie-rock bands, from members of #1 rockers fun. to hitmakers Cage the Elephant to festival top-liners Lord Huron, with near-nightly sit ins from among the scene's indie cognoscenti. "I guess," Miller says, "sometimes even serious musicians like to have a little fun themselves."

ModPods are a post-punk, electro-dance trio fronted by Myriad Slits. They have gained much notoriety in the Los Angeles music underground, namely in the arts, queer and femme scenes. Mindee and Daniel trade between bass, drums and guitar, interweaving live instrumental energy with Myriads erratic electronic beats, powerful vocals and cutting lyrics. This creates a unique and unforgettable live show.
Influenced by Wynne Greenwood, Talking Heads, B-52s, Radiohead, The Slits, Melvins, Xray Spex and many more, ModPods create a controlled dance chaos of computer beats, effected guitars, deep bass and hard drums. The soundscape creates an artful and gritty backdrop to Myriads soulful, fierce vocals.
As a uniquely varied band ModPods is proud to represent, inspire and support women, LGBTQ and POC musicians and artists. ModPods were fortunate to be guest performers at Chicas Rockeras SELA, an all-girls summer camp where campers explore the joys and challenges of collaborative music-making while being guided by inspirational female mentors. ModPods had the honor of performing at a fundraiser in support of Transgress Fest the First ever punk and hardcore festival celebrating the lives and music of trans musicians and artists.
