Light Beams is a dance-punk quintet from the District of Columbia. Their latest single “Step Back” — their first on Peterwalkee following a split release with Dischord earlier this year — continues their exploration of music created solely with percussion, samples, and vocals (and, okay, some bass guitar). Featuring members of D.C. stalwarts BRNDA, Sensor Ghost, Bed Maker, Dim Wizard, and Antelope.

One Seven Eight Product A little kraut bongo rock, deep groove, California sunshine juxtaposed against the NYC subway & punk-funk with the creative process not hidden but celebrated. The latest project of Sal Principato, who will forever be remembered for Liquid Liquid, the early Eighties dance-punk band!. Their sound is as idiosyncratic as it is dancefloor insistent

Lucky Numbers & True Weight, the fourth full-length by the New York City artist Cube, continues to push to the surface what has been hiding in plain sight all along: the artist’s ability to write memorable songs that synthesize elements from a variety of left-field genres into its own sonic world. The grit of noise; the ammo splay of digital hardcore; the experimentation of footwork; the rigor of industrial and techno; all of this exists here on more or less equal footing. These musical languages are deployed by the artist—real name: Adam Keith—as a means of sustaining an atmosphere, both uneasy and ecstatic, that plays out through the duration of the project.

Ruth Mascelli of New Orleans no wave/glam/industrial group Special Interest. A Night At The Baths is a progression from their previous work under the Psychic Hotline moniker, as well as the electronic rhythms they supply as part of Special Interest, drawing on techno, acid house and ambient music. An album as journey in the best sense, starting with the late night pulse-racing dancefloor menace of “Sauna” and ending with the melancholy dawn chorus of “Missing Men”, with a strong narrative arc in between, told through a deft use of instrumental textures.

After their IMDS single turned heads in 2023 with its moody, digital atmosphere and erratic pulse, Content Blocks return with their highly anticipated debut tape, No Down Whisper—a collection of fevered, fractured, and entrancing sounds that pushes their boundaries further into ambient, post-punk, and experimental territory.

Led by the sentimental songwriting of vocalist John Ross, New York-based band Wild Pink have been crafting cosy, richly textured indie rock albums since 2015. Their album A Billion Little Lights (2021) was hailed as “one of the prettiest rock records of the past decade” by Stereogum, while follow up ILYSM (2022) saw Ross reflect on his battle with cancer. Whether they’re on tour with Ratboys or opening for The New Pornographers, Ross’s therapeutic vocals carry the band’s original material.

Solo set from Mdou Moctar – or the Hendrix of the Sahara as he is sometimes called – constructed his first instrument out of scrap wood and bicycle parts. His musical talent has endured family disapproval, religious backlash and a sparse upbringing in the desert. “To my parents, becoming a musician would mean I was a delinquent, a terrible person drinking beer and taking drugs. I never told them I wanted to play the guitar, I didn’t dare. So I made one.” He is one of the most innovative champions of Saharan music, bringing the rich sound of desert strings to the masses.

Chicago trio FACS use minimalism and space to create abstract, modern art rock. The group evolved out of the dissolution of kranky artists Disappears & the current lineup features three former members of the group.

The duality of “man” is a subject that has been explored in art for centuries, from writings of the Bible to Descartes, all the way up to filmmakers like Lynch, Cronenberg, & Carpenter. Who is your “true self” & what do they want? With their sixth studio album Wish Defense (again for longtime home Trouble In Mind Records), Chicago trio FACS take a good, long look in the mirror to face themselves.

The return of original member Jonathan Van Herik – who stepped away from the group just before their debut album Negative Houses was released in 2018 – replacing longtime bassist Alianna Kalaba, brings renewed vigor & a marked angularity from the band’s more recent output. The songs still hit hard, but the approach is sideways – the roles have changed since Van Herik’s original tenure & his previous time with Case & powerhouse drummer Noah Leger in Disappears; now on bass, Van Herik was originally the group’s guitar player and features on the debut, while current guitarist Brian Case played bass. This role reversal has helped the band’s dynamic, offering up a different musical perspective than before, now revisiting the trio’s long-going collaboration with some distance and time.

Open Head - a four-piece experimental ensemble - has a taste for the angular. They assemble sprawling sonic tones into turns, cuts, and jabs as a means of exploration. Pulling from the vein of New York no-wave and the avant-garde touched history of punk and rock, jagged textures intertwine into unafraid formats. The tracks on What Is Success, their second LP released on Wharf Cat in January 2025, are heavy, rhythmically complex, and feature intricate two-guitar interplay. The result is expansive, stratospheric in volume, and brutally material in its punctuation and delivery.

Music is in multi-instrumentalist and composer Cochemea Gastelum’s blood—he comes from a long line of musicians on both sides of his lineage. For over 25 years, Cochemea has built a distinct career as a soloist, section player, and composer/ arranger, collaborating with artists across genres— from his long tenure with Sharon Jones and the Dap- Kings to work with Kevin Morby, Run The Jewels, Jon Batiste, Amy Winehouse, The Roots, Archie Shepp, Mark Ronson, and Quincy Jones, among many others.

His forthcoming album on Daptone Records, Vol. 3: Ancestros Futuros, is the third volume in a series that includes All My Relations (2019) and Vol. 2: Baca Sewa (2021). Across his body of work, Cochemea interweaves the past, present, and future, engaging with time as speculative history— one that moves fluidly between memory and possibility.

For Vol. 3: Ancestros Futuros, he gathered a core group of longtime collaborators—a powerhouse octet of New York City percussionists and members of Daptone’s famed rhythm section. Gabriel Roth (aka Bosco Mann) returned as producer and mixing engineer, capturing the band live to 8-track analog tape. Accompanied by a 9-minute film mixed in Dolby Atmos, this volume also marks Cochemea’s evolution into visual storytelling.

Cochemea’s previous releases have been praised by DJs and critics alike. His Daptone debut, All My Relations, was a family reunion of sorts, uniting spirits, musicians, and melodies across time and place. Leading a nine-piece ensemble, he recombined ancient elements— drums, winds, and voice—into a deeply personal meditation on the interconnection of all things. Vol. 2: Baca Sewa directed this exploration into the archives of family history, mythology, and the cultural imaginary. Pitchfork called All My Relations “equal parts spiritual journey and irrepressible funk.” Mojo awarded the album four stars, noting “its message of harmony and oneness is universal,” while Downbeat described Vol. 2: Baca Sewa as “radiating like a flower from beginning to end.”

Dromedary Records presents: Moviola, Antietam, and Sleepyhead

Moviola: in support of their 11th album “Earthbound,” the Columbus, Ohio collective step on with a world-weary stride, making the most personal, direct and urgent music of their lives. Inbetween the cracks of the musical Rust Belt, Moviola has quietly produced an expansive catalog spanning everything from 4-track fuzz-pop to hi-fi country soul. Sounding less like their Columbus punk contemporaries and more like “Neil Young’s noisy nephews” (LA Weekly), “Earthbound” is the most realized, succinct and least ambiguous effort of their career.

Punk pioneers Antietam originally hail from Louisville, Kentucky, but have been based in New York since the late 1980s. Led by guitar hero Tara Key with bassist Tim Harris with drummer Josh Madell, they have a long and influential history, signing their first deal with Homestead Records after opening for Husker Du. One of the longest-running and most influential bands in American indie rock, they are currently working on their 12th studio album.

Sleepyhead was formed in a basement room at NYU’s Brittany dorm in the fall of 1989, releasing their first 7”, the Kramer-produced “Play,” in 1991. They’ve released records on Slumberland, Homestead, Sealed Fate and Carrot Top Records and have shared the stage with such legendary bands as Polvo, Half Japanese, Yo La Tengo, The Grifters, and many more. Now based in Boston, the country-tinged indie rock band is making their second appearance at Tubby’s and is sure to perform some material from their forthcoming LP.

Shoegaze from Hong Kong!

Lucid Express singer/synth player Kim Ho has escaped the clogged streets, blinding lights and noise of central Hong Kong to the region’s northern mountains. Heartbreak and disillusionment are on her heels.

In these mountains, in sight of both the Chinese border and the international city hub of Central Hong Kong, Ho finds herself seeking to make sense of exactly who she, and her bandmates, truly are. The pride they’d felt as teenagers has long since faded. The multicultural progressive city that they grew up in has shifted staunchly conservative and politically oppressive since 2014, when an outbreak of anti-state protests were countered with beatings, politically-targeted arrests, and death threats from government officials. Says Ho, “we’ve just been steadily losing hope for a decade now”.

Their response has been to create their own universe revolving around their studio practice space nestled in an unassuming industrial district on the edge of the city. “We joke that we created a ‘scene’ of five people” says guitarist Andy Tsang.

In the spring of 2026 Chuck Johnson will be presenting live renditions of a new work titled Caoineadh. This series of performances and live mixes shared online seeks new pathways into composition and improvisation and draws from DJ techniques, wordless voices, voiceless laments, and pulses suggested by negative spaces. 

Performing on cello with effects pedals, Clarice Jensen presents music from hernew album, "In holiday clothing, out of the great darkness."  Her fourth full length album, it was released on FatCat/130701 Records in October 2025, and draws abstract inspiration from the Suites of JS Bach, placing the rich sonority of the cello at the fore but carefully treating and layering the timbres to create a "kaleidoscopic, surging cathedral of sound" as described by NPR's Tom Huizinga. 

“Hand on the Bay” is a new collaborative project for Jensen and Johnson. The work is organized by a graphic score that renders the harmonic material of 16 bars of Willie Nelson's Red Headed Stranger over the course of 24 minutes.

Ambient country supergroup of Pat Irwin (B-52s), Bob Holmes (Rubber Rodeo), and Jonathan Gregg (The Linemen) ...

New York-based instrumental group SUSS plays a distinctive form of instrumental music sometimes referred to as “ambient country,” emphasizing the droning qualities of country music and Western film scores. Combining the high-lonesome sound of pedal steel guitars and harmonicas with meditative synthesizers and loops, the group's music owes as much to Brian Eno's collaborations with Daniel Lanois as to the film scores of Ennio Morricone and Ry Cooder. The band's self-released 2018 debut, Ghost Box, became a surprise underground hit and a staple of ambient playlists, leading to the band's signing with Northern Spy. The group continued expanding on their signature sound with numerous additional releases on the label, including the 2024 release of Birds & Beasts.

Canadian quartet Holy Fuck have always been happy to plow a distinctly lone furrow. Never ones to chase the limelight or hop on any genre-wagon that happens to be passing by, they’ve played by their own rules for the best part of 20 years and five albums. It’s for that reason that they’ve become one of the country’s finest and most influential exports, with their widescreen technicolour, crescendo-heavy and highly danceable sound often finding itself imitated, but never bettered.

Even after attracting mainstream attention thanks to appearing on the soundtracks to Breaking Bad, The Substance, Mr Robot, Chemical Hearts, Good Girls, Cheaters and Invincible (the latter producing viral hit ‘Tom Tom’), the band has continued to go against the grain in a cultural landscape that prioritises and lionises the safe and predictable over the marginal and single-minded.

The follow-up to 2021’s rustic, folk-tingedGreen to Gold,Blight asks many questions without offering easy answers. Over the course of nine new songs, the Antlers’ founder and primary songwriter Silberman reckons with our passively destructive tendencies–absent-minded pollution, unwitting wastefulness, and the inadvertent devastation of the natural world. But despite its heavy themes,Blight is far from a punishing listen. With its adventurous arrangements and persistent momentum, it plays more like an iridescent odyssey.The album was recorded over the course of a few years, with the lion’s share tracked and produced in Silberman’s home studio in upstate New York, a compact outbuilding perched at theedge of a neighbor’s sprawling hayfield.
