Casa Sueño
(mike baggetta :: john herndon :: mike watt)

-from Agawam, MA - Asheville, NC - San Pedro, CA
-Casa Sueño is a new band from guitarist Mike Baggetta (mssv, Psychic Temple), drummer John Herndon (Tortoise, Isotope 217) and bassist mike watt (Minutemen, Stooges). Formed in late 2025 to record their first 7-inch release House Of Dreams on Nomad Eel Records (late 2026 release), Casa Sueño will play their first shows on tour in September and October 2026 on the west coast US, Mexico and Canada.

With inspiration from their name coming from minimalist composer La Monte Young and Marian Zazeela’s long-running drone and art installation in NYC (an important place for all three band members), the new music of Casa Sueño exists in a blissful mix of fearless improvisation, feverishly limitless grooves and otherworldly psychedelic song forms. These three wish-granters are excited to bring you the music you didn’t know you needed very soon…



Ray Yeh
-from Oakland, CA
-Self-taught multi-instrumentalist Ray Yeh has been playing music all his life, but only recently ventured onto the stage. Although an old-school punk rocker at heart, he finds himself listening to and playing everything from Modern Classical piano, cello & violin to indie-pop, laced with clarinet. One of his better known projects is Zpextre, a pop alter ego that emerged in 2019 and quickly became his main musical focus with the closure of The Uptown, a venue in Oakland he co-owned with his wife. Other recent musical endeavors have been playing cello on Chelsea Perretti’s 2023 debut film, ‘First Time Female Director’, and releasing a piano album which will be available for the first time at tonight’s show. When not immersed in music, Ray is also a visual artist, skateboarder and Internal Medicine Physician.

Ray will be joined by renowned drummer Scott Amendola for a night of improvised drums, violin & keyboard.




Rituals of Mine
-from Sacramento, CA
-Rituals of Mine exists at the intersection of endurance and transformation - a project where Terra Lopez turns lived experience into something both visceral and expansive. Known for her genre-blurring blend of electronic, alt-R&B, and trip-hop, the project has evolved from its origins as Sister Crayon into a deeply personal and sonically immersive body of work rooted in emotional honesty. At its core, Rituals of Mine has always been a space for processing - a way of moving through the weight of experience and giving it form.

Over the years, Rituals of Mine has earned critical acclaim from outlets including BBC, Pitchfork, Billboard, and Rolling Stone, with Hype Nostalgia named one of Paste Magazine's Best Albums of 2020. The project's catalogue also includes Devoted, co-produced by Omar Rodríguez-López (The Mars Volta, At the Drive-In), released via Warner Bros. Records.

Now entering a new chapter, Rituals of Mine returns with Endure - a new EP that both deepens and redefines the emotional world Lopez has been building for years. Rooted in resilience, the project reflects a shift not only in sound, but in perspective: for the first time, Lopez creates from a place of joy as much as from pain, holding both with equal weight. Led by the single "Hard to Miss," Endure captures an artist stepping fully into herself - betting on her own voice, and embracing a sense of openness and freedom that marks a distinct evolution.

Alongside the release, Lopez debuts a reimagined live show in collaboration with hip-hop trio LabRats, further expanding the project's sonic and performative boundaries. This new era translates not only in sound, but on stage “For the first time last year, I found myself smiling on stage. I didn’t used to allow that — I thought performing had to feel like a battle. Now I’m learning it can also feel like joy.”

Beyond the music, Lopez's work has long extended into the intersection of community, mental health, and the music industry. As a queer artist, she continues to intentionally create space for connection and representation - building a world around Rituals of Mine that exists as both a sonic and cultural experience. That vision expands into physical space through This Is What It Feels Like, an immersive installation that invites audiences into a shared, embodied understanding of lived experience - and reflects a broader commitment to connection, endurance, and the act of continuing.
