WALTER MITTY AND HIS MAKESHIFT ORCHESTRA

California

Walter Mitty and His Makeshift Orchestra is a folk punk band from California led by singer / songwriter Dustin Cole Hayes. After touring the DIY circuit for many years in the 2010’s, the band went quiet for a while before reemerging as an electric outfit called Walter Etc. Now the old moniker WMAHMO has reemerged to celebrate 10 years of its iconic album “Well Soon” with rumors of a new album completed and buried underground somewhere in the American frontier.

PACING

San Jose, CA

Pacing is the songwriting and recording project of Katie McTigue (she/her). Various Small Flames wrote that she “follows in the playful, tongue-in-cheek tradition of the likes of Kimya Dawson, yet always nudges the ideas further to be more than mere twee humour or sardonic fun.” Fans and new listeners alike often remark that her anxious, confessional lyrics are "a little too relatable."
