Split Moon

Gold Diggers presents a night of live music showcasing three of L.A.’s finest independent artists. Jason Simon of Dead Meadow performs songs from his latest solo album A Venerable Wreck, Split Moon previews brand-new material along with celestial jams from their Slow Satellite LP, and talented songwriter/guitarist Alex E.T. makes her Los Angeles debut. The event will be broadcast live from Gold Diggers with a professional sound and video mix and streamed via In.Live. Jason Simon https://jasonsimon.bandcamp.com/ Jason Simon, vocalist and guitarist of Washington D.C psych-rockers Dead Meadow, returns to his solo endeavors with his clearest and most ambitious album to date. His signature guitar, versatile as ever here, weaves through a dreamy and yearning lyrical universe on an album that brings together ideas from his band’s records filtered through a new instrumental dimension. A Venerable Wreck inhabits lands lying somewhere between cosmic psychedelia, backwoods Americana, intimate folk, and even country, with nods to early 60’s soul music, dub reggae, and American lo-fi. Split Moon https://splitmoon.bandcamp.com/ L.A. fuzz-gazers Split Moon released their debut full-length album Slow Satellite earlier this year, which Jack Rabid of Big Takeover Magazine called “a mammoth, loudly crescendoing psychedelic dreampop noise racket par excellence.” The band is fronted by Mark Starr of hardcore legends Insight, and features Ryan Orvis (Sky Parade), David Paolucci (The Hot Rails) and Tom Hernandez (SuperBees). They performed at The Echo for Part Time Punks and had their record release show at Permanent Records Roadhouse shortly before music venues shut down in March. The Gold Diggers set will feature new, unreleased material in addition to tracks from their album and first EP. Alex E.T. https://alexet.bandcamp.com/ Alex E.T. is the new solo project from songwriter/guitarist Alexandra Elaine Tapié. Alex co-founded and ran the art and music space Survival Kit in her hometown of Cleveland, Ohio while playing in the bands The Buried Wires and Likenesses. Upon relocating to Los Angeles, Alex began exploring music in a newly inspired and uninhibited way, writing and recording the songs that would form the basis of her debut solo album currently in the works. Distinguished by haunting melodies and intricate finger-picked guitar lines, Alex E.T. draws upon influences from psych, 60s folk, and garage-y indie rock to create a gritty, bewitching new sound.
