YAWNING MAN are considered the very founders of the desert rock movement, which was made popular by bands such as Kyuss or Queens of The Stone Age in the early 90s. While their contemporaries gravitated toward the heavy riffs of grunge, and post-punk, YAWNING MAN leaned in another direction with their unique and organic, cinematic compositions and psychedelic improvisations: the perfect soundtrack to encompass the spacious moonscape atmosphere of the well-documented "generator parties" of their area in the late 1980s. It was at these gatherings that they developed this distinctive style and sound by enchanting spectators with their seemingly endless free-form instrumental sessions, which echoed through the beautiful deserts, mesas, and landscapes of the Coachella Valley. 

SoftSun was formed in 2023 by guitarist Gary Arce (Yawning Man) and bassist/vocalist Pia Isaksen (PIA ISA). On their second album they are joined by Robert Garson on drums.  The band is experimenting with sounds and are difficult to place in a specific genre. They have a style of their own with contrasts of softness and distortion, beauty and noise and emotional peaks and valleys. The music is patient, heavy and dreamy, with haunting vocals and beautiful guitars drenched in distortion and reverb over patient and thought out drums. 
The songs are flowing slowly and take inspiration from both the Californian desert landscapes to the Norwegian oceans where the two founding members come from.  On this second record SoftSun has developed their sound further and sound both moody, experimental, beautiful, and raw.

“Don’t move needle, just red zone” – dieses Zitat von Guitar Wolf während einer Studiosession zeigt worum es bei Guitar Wolf geht: Drei Typen und ihrer Hingabe zum wahren RocknRoll.
Im Gegensatz zu manch anderen Rockbands leben Guitar Wolf den RocknRoll Lifestyle wie es noch kein anderer zuvor getan hat. Man hört es in ihren Songs, man sieht es auf der Bühne: Schweiß, Blut, Tränen und ungefilterte Energie resultieren in wilden zerstörerischen LoFi RocknRoll Hymnen. Das Ergebnis dieser Mischung aus Punk, Rock und Noise schuf ein ganz neues Genre, den Jet RocknRoll.
1987 haben sie sich gegründet und inzwischen ihren weltweiten Kultstatus als lauteste und verrückteste Garagen Noise Band auch auf Leinwand gebracht, im
Trash-Rock’n Roll Film „Wild Zero“.
2026 kommen sie wieder auf Tour und haben ein niegelnagelneues Album im Gepäck!

Blaine L. Reininger — co-founder of the post-punk cult band Tuxedomoon — is hitting the road again in 2026, playing songs from his two latest albums: Ghost Festival (2024) and g Nine Times (out June 2025). Both are collections of new material, 14 songs each, written and recorded with that unmistakable mix of melancholy, electronics, and grit.
This time around, Blaine’s trading the keyboards for the guitar on most songs — revisiting classics from his solo albums (especially Night Air from 1985), dipping into the deep well of his work for theatre, film, and dance, and yes, playing a few Tuxedomoon favorites too (No Tears fans, you’re covered). His violin is still front and center where it belongs, and his voice — as direct and emotionally charged as ever — carries the weight of decades without losing any of its edge.
Joining him is longtime friend and collaborator Georgio Valentino on guitar, known for his solo work and for playing with Crime and the City Solution. Together, they’re bringing an intimate, stripped-back energy to these shows — part memory, part experiment, and very much alive.
Come out. Say hi. Let the ghosts dance.
