DAY THREE
THE NUDE PARTY
The Nude Party, a well-oiled love machine of choogling rock‘n roll, have pulled back into the station with their fourth album Look Who’s Back. The band got their start ripping through basement house shows at their small college in Boone North Carolina. They were soon ditching class to play SXSW and go on DIY tours across America with their raucous brand of swingin’ 60’s garage rock. Riding an upward trajectory, the whole band set sail for New York. They played a summer residency at Brooklyn’s iconic Baby’s All Right, signed a record deal, and embarked upon multiple world tours and high profile festival runs. The bright and busy time saw a pair of studio albums - their debut self-titled LP The Nude Party (2018) and Midnight Manor (2020) - putting a shine on their rising star, a tight melodic rock band churning out big hooks with staying power. In the wake of the pandemic, they built a studio in the Catskills to record Rides On (2023), that carried the band further up the road of success as they sharpened their Stonesian orbit as eclectic explorers of their field, navigating stripped down country, electro pop, and everything in between.

MOON OWL'S MAGES
Transcending the confines of any one signature style, Moon Owl’s Mages bends genres to keep their creativity alive and unpredictable. From their debut Skelly Bones & the Flaming Crown to their fuzz-drenched followup Kill The Crackle, and now their funkier, jammier Step On It!, the band continues to evolve while leaving a deepening mark on the Boise psych-rock scene. Their origin began as a challenge between friends—to write, record, and release a full LP in just two weeks—resulting in Skelly Bones Jones (2020), a concept album about a skeleton protagonist on a journey through strange lands. They kept that DIY ethos and spontaneous production as the band set their course. Following a lineup evolution, Kill The Crackle (2022) brought a more refined, detailed sound while keeping the psychedelic. Opening for heavy hitters like Ty Segall, SLIFT, Frankie & the Witch Fingers, and Spoonbenders, they earned a reputation for neck-snapping performances across the west coast. The band made a sonic left turn with the release of Step On It! (2025), injecting a heavy dose of funk and groove into their discography. Embracing syncopation and swagger, the LP showcased a new side of the Mages—stranger, more experimental, and weirder in all the right ways. Riding that wave, they set off on their “Champions Of The West” tour, bringing their spellbound audiences along for a dusty, high-octane trek through the great American desert. Whether on home turf or out in the wild, Moon Owl’s Mages are sure to conjure something strange, loud, and unexpected.
