Unapologetically energetic, uplifting and with a live show that has been described as a “celebration of life”, Bermuda Search Party (FKA The Q-Tip Bandits) have emerged as a vibrant act that continues to touch audience’s hearts while getting them up on their feet. After meeting in college and cutting their teeth in the Boston DIY music scene, the band recorded and released their self-produced debut LP, Melancholy Flowers, in 2022. Dynamic yet intimate, Melancholy Flowers features the vocal stylings and songwriting of both guitarist Leo Son and bassist Claire Davis, and smooth and soaring trumpet and trombone from Maclin Tucker and Hoyt Parquet. Since then, the band has played hundreds of stages across the country, making their way from coast to coast and hitting festivals along the way including Boston Calling, Levitate Music Festival, SXSW, and Treefort Music Festival, before returning to the studio in September 2023 with producer Eric Palmquist (half•alive, Tate McRae, Bad Suns, Hunny) to record their sophomore album Fools On Parade, released in April 2025 via Nettwerk Music Group. The band toured in support of the record throughout 2025, culminating in four Boston Music Awards nominations, for Live and Pop Act of the Year, Video of the Year for “Olivia,” and Album of the Year. \*\*\* Miki Fiki is the indie-pop project of Midwest transplant Ted Hartog, founded in 2017 in a ranch-style house in Nashville. From their breakout track “The First Time” to their debut album Dumb Baby, Miki Fiki blends the laid-back groove of Still Woozy with the indie-funk polish of Parcels. R&B and bedroom-pop instrumentals intertwine with bittersweet, nostalgic verses and expansive harmonies, creating a sonic landscape Lightning 100 calls “indie-pop brilliance.” Years of relentless touring have both grown and shaped Miki Fiki’s sound, taking it from sweaty college house shows in Mobile, AL to sold-out rooms across the country.
