Guiding Light
GL is a band comprised of Jason Sebastian Russo (ex-Mercury Rev/Hopewell) and filmmaker Tara Autovino. Village Voice piece from 2014 chronicled the band’s trials and tribulations, but 3 years later they triumphed by signing to UK label Eggs in Aspic and putting out Guide the Lightning tape (eventually reissued on vinyl by California imprint Bleeding Gold).
Throughout years Jason contributed multitude of songs and mixes to IHN
Found – 1 minute piece for Vol. 4 of “Gone in 60 Seconds” series
Guest Mix – featuring Can, This Heat, Rollerskate Skinny, Unrest and more
Jason and Tara are also a part of Pete International Airport, revolving-door project formed by Dandy Warhols member Peter Holmström.

The Triangle Theory

Eldridge Rodriguez 
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”15″]Eldridge Rodriguez is the songwriting moniker Boston, MA artist Cameron Keiber uses as a catcha all for musical projects. His music explores classic themes such as man vs. nature, religion and race, entitlement vs. theft, willful ignorance, aggressive stupidity, forgiveness and redemption in a smart mouthed, sometimes vulgar and irreverent way. [/perfectpullquote] Dr. Wolfbear captured a performance of “The Girl Who Made God” – a song off of upcoming ER album that they played at Zuzu in October 2017.

Violet Nox
[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=”15″]Experimental noise ambient, melodic spacey wall of sound, psychedelic guitars and electronica beats.[/perfectpullquote] We captured VN when they played at Jeanie Johnston with Gary War, Citrusphere and Mei Ohara in Sept. 2017.  Nebula is the namesake of the album they put out on Reverb Worship in Nov. of last year and there’s also a video for Dentscape that was made by Petridisch.
