Everyone Is Dirty is a California-born, Oakland-based art-rock outfit founded by electric-violin sorceress/vocalist Sivan Lioncub and guitarist/producer Christopher Daddio, whose creative partnership forms the band’s volatile, visionary core. Known for Sivan’s distortion-drenched, punk-electric violin and the duo’s kaleidoscopic approach to songwriting and production, EID delivers performances that feel like ecstatic electrical storms—equal parts vulnerability and volatility.
Beyond her work fronting Everyone Is Dirty, Sivan also performs with Shannon Shaw of Shannon & The Clams and collaborates with legendary avant-garde pioneers The Residents, extending her sonic universe across multiple corners of California’s vibrant musical landscape.
Emerging from the state’s fertile DIY and underground scenes, the band has carved out a cult following through relentless creativity, fearless experimentation, and songs that shimmer, snarl, and sometimes detonate. Everyone Is Dirty isn’t just a band—they’re a living, breathing voltage field.

Agouti is an Oakland-based psychedelic rock project led by singer, multi-instrumentalist, and producer Carmen Caruso. Blending West Coast psychedelia, Krautrock, shoegaze, and lo-fi pop, Agouti creates lush, immersive soundscapes anchored by sharp pop sensibilities. Founded in 2015 with a DIY ethos inspired by home-recording icons like Tame Impala and Unknown Mortal Orchestra, the project grew from Caruso’s self-built basement studio and vintage reel-to-reel setup.
Agouti’s debut album Nodes (2019) earned praise from Happy Mag, Brightest Young Things, and was featured in KQED’s mixtape of emerging psychedelic acts. The latest single, Golden Hour, reveals a breezier, dream-pop side. Known for captivating live performances, Agouti has shared stages with Kikagaku Moyo, Sugar Candy Mountain, and Elephant Stone, and performed at festivals including Noise Pop, SF Sketchfest, and Woollystar.
