Illuminati Hotties playing Free IH instagram.com/ih.rips indie-rock tenderpunk Pity Party instagram.com/therealpityparty pop punk The Tammy Shine (from Dressy Bessy) instagram.com/the_tammy_shine alt indie pop Illuminati Hotties -from Los Angeles, CA -Illuminati Hotties is the Los Angeles based indie-pop project of Sarah Tudzin. Recently releasing their debut album, Kiss Yr Frenemies, last month through Tiny Engines, Tudzin took time to discuss the album process at greater lengths. As an audio engineer and frontwoman, Tudzin leads an interesting life within the music industry. Working alongside acclaimed acts in the studio such as Macklemore, Coldplay, and Lady GaGa, her story is a whirlwind of inspiration. Admin, The Alternative Pity Party -from the Bay Area, CA -Pity Party is an emo/pop-punk band formed in the SF/Bay Area now based between Portland and Los Angeles. Renowned for their frenzied, unforgettable live shows and deep commitment to community care through food distributions, sexual violence prevention, and mental health advocacy, Pity Party's been spreading their wild, barely-holding-it-together energy across the US and internationally since 2014, sharing stages with bands like Jawbreaker, The Ergs!, Otoboke Beaver, and Bad Cop/Bad Cop. They coined the term “care punk” to name what they’ve always practiced: looking out for each other, protecting their community, and making shows safer, onstage and off. The band is made up of Rikki DeLuna, Rachel Moon, Sarah Levy, JD Tonnesen, Ty Dykema, and Sasha Guleff, pulling members from multiple projects into a loud, emotional supergroup. After a two-year hiatus, they’re back with a new record and more urgency, care, and connection than ever. The Tammy Shine -from Denver, CO -On February 20, 2026, Tammy Ealom, the snarling creative force behind Denver’s legendary Dressy Bessy, presents her debut solo albumThe Tammy Shine, Ok Shine Ok, via Happy Happy Birthday To Me Records (HHBTM). This release marks a pivotal moment: for the first time in her three-decade career, Ealom has taken complete command—writing, performing, producing, and engineering the record entirely on her own. Ealom’s resilience was forged early. Born to young parents, her upbringing as a "military brat" landed her in Hawaii, where she learned to literally fight to survive the rough social climate of high school. This tenacity would later serve her well in the male-dominated music industry. Her sonic DNA is equally eclectic, rooted in her Mod father’s love for the British Invasion bands, her discovery of The McCoys, Michael Jackson, Prince, and later refined by her love of grunge in bands like Nirvana and Hole. Her future husband and musical partner, John Hill (The Apples in stereo), also introduced her to more hard rock and the punk economy of The Ramones and Buzzcocks. Tammy’s songwriting career jumpstarted in 1995 with a gift of a guitar and a 4-track recorder; weeks later, she had ten original songs recorded. After twenty-five years of crafting Dressy Bessy’s signature "clutter-punk," Ealom began to form a singular vision. Sparked by a liberating solo set at the 2017 Athens Popfest, Ok Shine Ok is the result of that freedom. The album highlights Ealom’s evolution from frontwoman to technical architect. Stripping away the democratic process of a band, she displays her prowess as a studio engineer, blending bubblegum hooks with DIY grit without an outside producer or band to interpret her vision. To support the release, The Tammy Shine will begin touring in February 2026 with bassist Mike King. Ok Shine Ok is a celebration, proving that after thirty years of making noise, Ealom might just be getting started. |
