DAIISTAR is an alternative band from Austin, Texas, born in the spring of 2020. The band takes inspiration from the neo-psych era of the ’80s and ’90s (The Jesus and Mary Chain, Spacemen 3, early Primal Scream) and brings it all into the future with modulating synths, heavy guitars, bouncy basslines and hooks spirally, creating a narcotic mixture of noise and melody.
DAIISTAR recorded their first studio album (produced by Alex Maas of The Black Angels and James Petralli of White Denim) in the summer of 2021. The band then signed with the British label Fuzz Club Records for the release of the album “Good Time”, released on September 8, 2023.
DAIISTAR have already performed at various festivals such as Levitation, Desert Daze (Daze In The City), Austin Psych Fest, Freakout Fest, SXSW, and accompanied The Black Angels, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols on tour.
Opening
REAL TIMPANI
Real Timpani is an Italian band composed of Giulia Guerra (sound designer and producer), Jacopo Biffi (electronics), Pietro Vicentini (drums) and Matteo Pontegavelli (trumpet). “The Great Torre” is their first release, the EP is made up of five tracks, composed and produced between Torre San Bartolo in Rancitella and Matteo’s studio in Modena.
The release highlights the duality of the band: an electronic, rhythmic and pulsating side on the one hand and a more intimate and delicate mood on the other. The tracks all have in common a constant search for a hypnotic and almost maniacal Mantra.
