THANKS Ray Roa and Creative Loafing Tampa for the kind words!

Shape-shifting LA indie-rock band Dream Phases pops into Tampa on the way to Miami's Bumblefest It’s not hard to hear the influence of everything from Laurel Canyon folk, ‘60s psychedelia, and even the pained optimism of Elliott Smith.

HUGE THANK YOU to this years SPONSORS!
We appreciate your help keeping expenses in line so we can raise $ for this years NFP recipients: Dan Hosker Music Continuum (Broward) (Dade) and (Palm Beach)! 🐝❤️⚡️

FORCEGHOST (Augusta)
An electronic indie-psych duo with syrupy guitars, soaring synths, sharp drums, and hauntingly beautiful vocals that culminate into a sound both piercingly focused and kaleidoscopic in scope and texture. RIYL: Animal Collective, Oneohtrix Point Never, Figurine 🐝❤️⚡️

SEVERED+SAID (Jacksonville)
Ritual synthesist, John Touchton conjures sinkholes of low-end, darkened room drones, strobing percussion and spidery rhythms of witching hour electronics best set to low lit rooms or speeding dark highways. RIYL: Cabaret Voltaire, S U R V I V E , Bitchin Bajas, Alesandro Cortini, Tim Hecker, Throbbing Gristle, Super Metroid OST 🐝❤️⚡️

LO FIVES (Philadelphia)
“Just like when you’re on acid, for a few minutes, you feel almost sober, and then it hits you again—that’s a typical Lo Fives tune. The pleasant stuff is a little creepy, the freaked out parts oddly pleasant.” RIYL: Mission Of Burma, Wire, Wounded Lion 🐝❤️⚡️

FIONA MOONCHILD (Scott Yoder, Sonny & the Sunsets, Seattle)
RIYL: Stereolab, Gang Of Four, Orange Juice

Seattle-based Fiona Moonchild is touring, at last, in support of a debut album that came out in late 2021 and has, for reasons too numerous to mention, not gotten the extensive live workout it deserves. “It’s been a strange go-around for this release,” the Bumblefest headliner told PureHoney in a missive sent in July from the South of France, where Fiona was working on new music and trying out a recently acquired bass clarinet that had become a new obsession. Her summer schedule included a rock ’n’ roll sailing tour on Spain’s Cantabrian Sea playing drums with Sonny and the Sunsets… Read more in PureHoney 🐝❤️⚡️

AKASHA SYSTEM (Tampa)
RIYL: Foans, Body-San, Citizen Maze, Soela, Khotin, Tornado Wallace, Aphex Twin, Lone 🐝❤️⚡️

MR ENTERTAINMENT & THE POOKIESMACKERS (Hollywood)
Hollywood Florida legends that make Caribbean Gothic stories out of Velvet
Underground meets punk sounds.

STARCLEANER REUNION (Lightheaded, New York City)
RIYL: Broadcast, feeble little horse, Yo La Tengo
In the decades since Stereolab emerged, there haven’t been many acts that you could say are reminiscent of their distinctly airy yet intricate style of Europop. That all changes when you hear the beautiful work of Starcleaner Reunion, who will be making their Florida debut as Bumblefest headliners. Five New Jersey high school friends who moved to New York City, Starcleaner Reunion have a bit of Stereolab’s multilingual streak, although Spanish, not French, is their second language on tracks like the trippy “Que Dices.” But the Francophone influence is there… Read more in PureHoney 🐝❤️⚡️

SIICHAQ (Jacksonville)
“Siichaq is moody and perfectly saturated. Like a worn film or your favorite cassette. It’s wonderfully poppy shoegaze to feel something to.” – JME RIYL: Cherry Glazerr, Breeders, Ovlov, Le Tigre, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tanukichan 🐝❤️⚡️

ZIPPUR (Fort Lauderdale)
With a frantic mix of blistering riffs and interstellar melody’s Zippur moves the listener through diverse soundscapes while maintaining focus on a central theme. RIYL: Faust, OSEES, Uranium Club, Devo. 🐝❤️⚡️

DION LUNADON (ex A Place to Bury Strangers, New York City)

That chain Lunadon rattles on the cover of 2023’s Systems Edge isn’t just a photo prop, and it’s just one key to Lunadon’s solo output. Think overdriven amps, sinks of reverb and a ton of swagger. Think Link Wray, black leather and bad-moon-rising vibes. It’s a parallel world to the one Lunadon occupied as singer-guitarist in The D4 and former bassist in A Place to Bury Strangers, though all share that unbridled, soulful, undefinable spark… Read more in PureHoney 🐝❤️⚡️

BEBE DELUXE (Jacksonville)
The most exciting thing to come out of North Florida since boiled peanuts, indie rock multi-hyphenate BeBe Deluxe and her band of badasses are coming to Bumblefest!
RIYL: Chappell Roan, The White Stripes, Le Tigre 🐝❤️⚡️
