Apollonia Thunderbolt
Apollonia Thunderbolt is a Washington, DC-based indie rock trio that welds psychedelia, shoegaze and noise into a melodic, loud, gorgeous, sonic pigpile. The heart of their sound is the distorted, alternate-tuned guitars of Matt Vandenbroek and Jamie Darken and Trae Tomko’s propulsive, lyrical drumming.

The Mantis
The Mantis DC is a, instrumental musical group comprising of Dempsey Hamilton on percussion, David Barker on treble string instruments, Doug Kallmeyer on bass string instruments, and Monica Stroik on visual projections, art and video production.
Their debut, self- titled release consists of 6 pieces recorded to analog tape and mastered for high quality, 45 rpm vinyl, (covers hand- screened and numbered by the band), digital download and streaming through Verses Records, released October 2020. (Vinyl is sold out). The band is currently working on a follow- up to be released early 2022 on new, local imprint Mutineer Records.
Each instrumentalist equally supports and takes lead roles in the arrangements, while consistently maintaining a playful energy that propels the music forward. The group explores a variety of feel, from heavy riffs and terse percussive syncopations to open, dynamic explorations. The Mantis DC takes full advantage of the space and impact possible in the power trio format, with a brazen approach to arrangement and improvisation.
For live performances and video production, the group is joined by multimedia artist Monica Stroik who provides stunning artwork and exciting visual projections.
