Lying somewhere between folk and electronic, yOya is a two-man band singing confused songs about love and lighthearted songs about death. It’s the dynamic collision of Alex Pfender's acoustic guitar, Noah Dietterich’s keyboard and synth layers, and both of their voices, plus an MPC — the go-to beat machine of hip-hop artists. Their debut full-length ‘Nothing To Die’ was hailed by the LA Examiner as "pure, unadulterated audio joy,” which the duo followed last month with their vinyl seven-inch ‘Fireworks.’

Greenhorse is an emerging post-pop duo featuring Chris Hackman and Shawn Day, who first met backstage at a high school talent show in Sheridan, Wyoming. Following an online collaboration in 2009, while Day was living in London and Hackman was in Los Angeles, they formed Greenhorse. The band self-released their debut EP "Transcontinental" in the fall of 2009 and are currently writing their second EP, slated for recording this fall at Pachyderm Studios in Cannon Falls, MN with Brent Sigmeth (Nirvana, Wilco, Polyphonic Spree).
