Silver Triplets of the Rio Hondo
“Ennio Morricone meets ZZ Top at Lee Hazlewood’s house on mescaline.” -Emerald City Reader
Silver Triplets of the Rio Hondo is a psychedelic Western outfit conceived by William Slater, songwriter & founding member of art-psych heavyweights Grails and current member of Black Mountain. Its sound marries sequenced synthesizer/strings, noise collage, & drum programming to a set of barrel-chested crooners, lending the songs of the Triplets an eerie camp that could live as easily on a dilapidated cruise ship as inside a honky tonk bar. Ghost ballads floating about a dystopian waypost. Jim Reeves trying to claw his way out of the Tower of Song. Extra-terrestrial highway jazz. Ranch house exotica. Sci-fi roadhouse music for dissociatives.
The trio features the dreamy & toothsome embellishments of Haven Multz Matthews on skins and Christopher Cook wielding guitar leads that alternate between Bakersfield country & avant-noise in quick succession, & the samples dancing in and out of the periphery may leave an audience wondering how a sound at times so massive & strange can still feel somehow intimate.
Strange Pilgrim
Strange Pilgrim is an indie-rock band based in Portland, OR. Led by multi-instrumentalist and songwriter Josh Barnhart, the band crafts a unique sound that blends timeless psych-rock influences with modern dream pop, balancing introspective lyricism and restless musicality to create something both intimate and expansive. Their music captures a spirit of quiet exploration—thoughtful but never insular, wandering yet profoundly grounded.
The band’s current lineup includes drummer Pat Spurgeon (Rogue Wave, Federale, Dandy Warhols), bassist Elliott Kay (Elliott OK, Joe Kaplow), and guitarist Eliot Chamberlain (Chamberlain / Gonzalez), in addition to Josh Barnhart (Port O’ Brien, Two Sheds, Caleb Nichols). Thriving on collaboration, their collective experience and distinct musical perspectives shape Strange Pilgrim’s sound—a blend of driving rhythms, melodic bass lines, and textured guitars.
Cruise Control
“When the rubber hits the road and you've got no particular place to go, that's when you put on Cruise Control. A qualified quartet creating three chord power pop with a classic country sheen. A handed down recipe with a sip of sweetened harmonies, a pinch of Tele twang and galloping rhythms from a rock n roll heart.” -Totally Different Head Zine
