Haim is an American rock band hailing from Los Angeles, California. The sisters, Este, Danielle, and Alana, grew up in San Fernando, California playing classic rock songs with their parents in a family band, called ‘Rockinhaim’ , which played for charity events and street fairs. After years of playing with their parents, the girls decided to strike out on their own, and began writing their own material. Danielle and Este were originally members of ‘The Valli Girls’, an all-girl group that was signed to Columbia Records/Sony Records. It wasn’t until after both sisters graduated from college when they decided to get more serious about music and formed their own band. Youngest sister Alana spent one year in college before dropping out to join the band with her sisters. The band later added drummer Dash Hutton who was previously a member of the bands ‘Wires on Fire’ and ‘Slang Chicken’. All three sisters are proficient on more than one instrument: Este plays both guitar and bass, Danielle plays guitar and drums, and Alana plays guitar, keyboards and percussion. Over the past few years, the band has opened up for Julian Casablancas, Cold War Kids, Ke$ha, Group Love, No Age, The Bird and the Bee, Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, Chief and The Henry Clay People. In 2012, Haim supported Mumford & Sons on their US tour and then supported Florence and the Machine on their UK and Ireland tour. In March 2013, Haim was named one of Fuse TV’s 30 must-see artists at SXSW. Haim’s first release was a three song EP entitled ‘Forever’. In September 2013, they released their first full-length album entitled ‘Days Are Gone’. The band released ‘The Wire’ as a single on July 29, 2013.

Power Glove is an electronic music duo from Melbourne, Australia. The name of the band comes from a controller accessory for the Nintendo Entertainment System. The duo’s music gained widespread attention when their track ‘Hunters’ was featured in the 2011 Canadian independent film ‘Hobo with a Shotgun’. Their music is an homage to 1980s film and television soundtracks from directors such as John Carpenter. Their first EP, the 4-track ‘EP 1’ , was released in January, 2012. They are best known for producing the soundtrack to the 80s influenced retro-futuristic video game ‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’. The soundtrack was met with critical acclaim and the band received several awards for ‘Best Audio’ from several video game publications such as ‘Game Informer’ and ‘IGN’. They recently released a special track in time for Halloween called ‘Motorcycle Cop’. They’re currently working on their second EP called ‘EP 2’ that will be made available sometime in the near future.
