Today, Seattle’s Chinese American Bear are announcing their new LP Wah!!!. A C-pop
duo composed of Bryce Barsten and Anne Tong, the group create eclectic DIY pop that
blends Chinese mando-pop and the Western indie pop canon. They write songs that flit
between English and Mandarin, capturing a spirit of cross-cultural joy and longing, that is often poignant while never losing its sense of fun.

Last month, the band shared a one off single called “Feelin’ Fuzzy (毛绒绒的感觉)” to
announce their signing to the beloved UK independent label Moshi Moshi (Girl Ray, Anna Meredith, Hot Chip) who will release CAB’s new LP on October 18th. To mark the
announcement the band is sharing a new single entitled “Heartbreaker 伤心情歌” along withan accompanying video that is premiering today with FLOOD.

Modern Dairy is a Chicago indie rock band with Geoff Cronin, Levi O’Brien, and Pat and Bobby Sullivan. Modern Dairy is interested in experimenting with their music, but never straying far from a dancey groove. 
 On their 2nd EP, Scream Down the Stairs, they pushed into new spaces, instruments and song writing styles. Robert’s Beetle, a disco dream of a high rise hotel, In My Keys, a somber but hopeful waltz about the highs and lows of personal life, and Scream Down the Stairs, a driving, sonic ride through arguments and the places they took place showcase the variety and consistency of Modern Dairy. 
 Geoff Cronin’s informal lyrics lay over Bobby Sullivan’s soulful guitar grooves, Levi O’Brien’s mindful bass and Pat Sullivan’s clever drum beats. 
 Modern Dairy has played classic Chicago venues including Schuba’s, Chop Shop, Beat Kitchen, Subterranean, DIY venues, art galleries and even their own practice space.

Their live show is electric, authentic & dynamic. Pepper, was raised on Blondie, Paramore, Cage The Elephant & sarcasm – it shows. Through vulnerable yet relatable stories, humorous authenticity between songs, & addicting melodies, it’s a show you always want to see again.
