SWEEPING EXITS is punk glam queercore horror on tour from Portland!! They just got written up in the Portland Mercury! http://www.portlandmercury.com/music/2016/10/19/18639440/sweeping-exits-take-back-the-night
The Portland glam-punk band’s latest release functions as a soundtrack to an imagined cinematic narrative created by frontwoman Mira Glitterhound (vocals/guitar). Her bloodthirsty protagonist is a young woman working at a movie theater in the late 1950s who literally consumes predatory men.
“The vampires in this canon, I made them in the most extreme form in that they eat and devour humans,” says Glitterhound. “Once they’re done, there’s pretty much just bones left.”
Glitterhound has released music under the Sweeping Exits moniker for about 10 years, but The Projectionist is her first following this concept and her first joined by Myrrh Crow (keyboard/vocals), Sonia Weber (drums/bass), and Shanley Narens (strings). It’s a prequel to the band’s forthcoming full-length, Glitter and Blood, which will serve as an extension of the EP’s storyline.

LE FOMO brings you dance-o-matic gender fuck wave from Oakland. This duo transgresses gender norms through dirty riffs, beats, melodramatic belting, dissonant melodies, video projections, fur, sequins, power accoutrement and performances packed with moments that raise the hair in your arm pits, ohh baby!
Their latest and first full length album, We were never in control, is an electro punk's liberation ceremony. Taking quotes from Virginia Woolf ("A great mind is androgynous"), calling the listener to liberation, casting off the controls of internalized oppression, LE FOMO's new album carries you from sweaty basement dance floor to lounging in your smoking jacket to spaced out melodrama. We can win this!
