Lightweight Champion is a musical collaboration between three Seattle-based musicians, focused around the songwriting of lead singer Aaron Spieldenner. Late 2021 brought the group together in its initial form, with Spieldenner joined by Vermont-native Cam Hancock on drums - member of Seattle-based bands The Whags and Coral Grief. The band self-produced their first EP “Valley” over the next year, consisting of a spread of old and new songs by Spieldenner. The EP demonstrates the bands versatility and arrangement prowess – it merges Spieldenner’s lyrics-forward style with warm and textural production, leaning on alt-country influences augmented by explorations into indie/alternative sonic territory. In October 2022, New Jersey-raised Tom Moskal joined the group on bass (originally of notable Seattle acts Coach Phillips and La Fille) and the band debuted at the historic Conor Byrne Pub in Ballard, WA. The band released their EP on hometown-hero DIY cassette label Den Tapes in April 2023.

The Noble Manes is definitely a band and it started in 2012 when the original members were studying at university together. Naturally, they called themselves The Noble Manes. After recording a short EP and playing shows together for nearly 1.5 years, the quintuple disbanded. Years later, TNM has been resurrected (in Seattle no less!). However, after having received word that The Noble Manes may return, an evil force, obviously feeling threatened and vulnerable at this possibility, unleashed the plague that we now call COVID-19. But this resurrection, like mf Thanos himself, is inevitable. We are back.
