TOKYO TEA ROOM

Tokyo Tea Room are a band from Margate, UK, who strive to create music inspired by human emotions, exploring themes of longing and the ephemeral nature of existence. With a warm, hypnotic sound shaped by introspective songwriting and production from Daniel James Elliott, the project carries a distinct and immersive sonic identity. Tokyo Tea Room is a timeless project whose message transcends the music itself, arousing passions and emotions and taking listeners on a journey within a tender, comforting bubble.

Their debut album No Rush established them as one of the most compelling emerging acts in alternative music, resonating with a growing global audience. With millions of monthly listeners and a sold-out debut North American tour, the band are quickly building momentum - particularly in the US, where their audience continues to expand.

With new music on the horizon, Tokyo Tea Room are entering a defining new chapter, evolving their sound while staying rooted in the emotional depth that defines their work.

ARGONAUT & WASP

Argonaut & Wasp is the Brooklyn based band known for their infectious grooves, catchy vocals, and explosive live performances. Formed by a chance meeting in a dorm room, they have grown to become a NYC mainstay, selling out residencies and rooms like Elsewhere, Rough Trade, Music Hall of Williamsburg, Bowery Ballroom, etc. "All across the country, dancers are boogieing to the clang of guitars and singing along to original vocal hooks like it’s Manchester circa 1983, but in NYC, it’s Argonaut & Wasp supplying the infectious hooks.” - BILLBOARD.

Their debut album “STARLIGHT 99” was released in 2021 after spending much of 2020 quarantine writing & producing. Featuring tracks like “Monacillo”, "Composure" featured on Spotify's New Music Friday, and "Dog Days" (prod. by Jarrah McCleary), the LP has become the band's defining sound. With an “80’s flare that will undeniably bring you to your feet” and “will have you searching for your bell bottoms and looking for someone to hit the nearest disco with.” - LADYGUNN.

Since the inception of the band, they have toured extensively playing shows spanning their roots in the northeast as well as the nation. A&W has joined fests across the country such as SXSW, Summerfest, Wonderstruck and the like, and supported acts like Benny Sings, Miami Horror, Bag Raiders, The Palms, Giant Rooks and Autoheart among others. With now multiple national headline tours under their belt, mostly recently in Fall '22 with support from Hembree, A&W has become known for their energetic & dynamic live show. With recent single releases "GRIMM" and "Always Forever" and a new full album on the way, stay tuned for more from Argonaut & Wasp in 2025.
