Allison Weiss

"Allison Weiss (Brooklyn, NY) is an energetic 24-year-old with an electric guitar, an avid online following, and a whole lot of feelings. With her quirky charm and sharp pop sensibilities, Weiss makes losing a little more fun.

“I’m all about catchy, upbeat, feel-good music, but the one thing I seem to aways write about is heartbreak,” she recently told Billboard.com, “I say [my songs] sound like your saddest memories sung to the tune of your happiest.”

Now performing with a full band, her live shows are louder and faster and more fun than ever, showcasing her unique brand of punk/folk infused powerpop and knack for keeping the audience wanting more."


Mal Blum

"Mal Blum writes tongue-in-cheek songs often filled with feelings, travel stories and/or anthropomorphic metaphors. Her music is best described as containing elements from folk, punk, and anti-folk genres. Reviewers say: "[songs]so sincere that you want to make her tell you all the stories behind them" - The Ruckus Blog and "full of humor and sweetness[...]here to make you appreciate the little things more" -Deli Magazine

Mal Blum has released 4 albums and 2 music videos and tours nationally. She has had the opportunity to support artists such as: Amanda Palmer, Jeffrey Lewis, and Melissa Ferrick in her travels and her music has been featured nationally on MTV'S LOGO network, and once in a fashion montage by Free People. August 6th she will be joined by a band."


Mitten

"In late 2009, Maia and Joanna bonded over whiskey and salt bagels. The pair began emailing each other song ideas and soon began writing music together as Mitten. Written entirely over email, the duo completed a shimmering collection of songs, writing lyrics on buses and at rest stops between Brooklyn and Boston. See You Bye was produced, recorded, and mixed in Katcher’s Manhattan office, rising to #24 on Hype Machine’s “Most Popular” list.

Mitten has performed their energetic live set with DEVO, Psychedelic Furs, Tom Tom Club, The Blow, MEN and The Shondes and plays to packed venues all over the east coast. Mitten has been featured on MTV and Out Magazine and their music is currently playing in stores including GAP, Forever 21, Victoria’s Secret, Pinkberry, Vans and Puma and has been placed in various commercials and films."
