Fringe Class - https://fringeclass.bandcamp.com/
Fringe Class is a four-piece synth-pop band from Portland, OR. In the setting of a live dance band, they create an atmosphere that groups electro-punk and new wave (minus guitars) to provide a soundtrack to the post-apocalyptic, super-youth experience. Madi Gold leads the band with a voice that avoids all subtleties, and they're ready to play your pool party.
Gold Casio - https://goldcasio.bandcamp.com/
WHEN ON HIGH, the Cosmic Mirror Ball first shot forth its multitude of exuberant lights throughout the Universe, came forth from the Chaos, Gold Casio.
Both instrument and entity, keyboard and cabal; A spectral synthesizer permutating all realms of existence, from Internet to Grave. A voice from the urban wilderness, calling out and drawing in; Into dingy basements and darkened dance clubs with visions of sweaty nights. Sweaty nights of ecstatic apparitions and psychedelic nightmares. But what came first, the Fever, or the Dream?
Heed little the human counterparts of Gold Casio, for they are but vessels, merely mechanisms through which the Disco Gods make known their final decree. Party Forever? “Amen!”
Relinquish the curtains of this reality, strip away the layers of meaninglessness until all that remains are Babes and Bass. Only then will you begin to understand.
AND should you choose to behold Gold Casio, Lo, know thine time has come. For no longer can your arms remain tightly across your chest, nor your feet remain steadfastly planted on the ground.
Possessed by sound and light, tonight you will get down. And you’re probably going to spill your drink.
Pleasure Curses - http://pleasurecurses.bandcamp.com/
Pleasure Curses is an alt-disco duo based out of Portland Oregon.
The creative and production partnership consists of Jahn Alexander Teetsov and Evan Maxwell Grice; childhood friends who reconnected after a decade through a chance meeting.
Formed in Washington DC, they sharpened their teeth playing everywhere from sweat-soaked punk basements and raging house parties to five star hotels and national art galleries in the city. Influenced by the aesthetics of electro, disco, new wave, and early hip-hop, they strafe the lines between experimental and accessible dance music that shatters the apathy of audiences at shows with manic and propulsive energy. Recently, that energy has propelled them to the west coast where they are currently located in Portland, Oregon.
