Bloc Party with Blonde Redhead and Family Dinner

Formed in 1998 by Emily Haines and Jimmy Shaw, Metric rose from NYC's alt-rock scene alongside LCD Soundsystem and The Strokes. Known for genre-defying work, they've released nine albums independently, showcasing timeless songwriting and a fiercely independent ethos.

East London band Bloc Party is known for their genre-bending sound, blending post-punk, indie rock, and electronic influences. They gained fame with 2005's "Silent Alarm," which went platinum in the UK, featuring hits like "Banquet." With albums like "A Weekend in the City" and "Intimacy," they've explored diverse styles, from dance beats to personal themes. Despite lineup changes, the band, anchored by Kele Okereke and Russell Lissack, continues to innovate. They've collaborated with notable producers and toured widely, influencing the indie scene with their dynamic musical evolution.

Blonde Redhead, a rock trio from Kazu Makino and Italian twins Simone and Amedeo Pace, are known for dreamy, genre-blending songs like “For The Damaged Coda.”

Brooklyn-born Family Dinner blends ’90s grunge-punk and pop, known for their fierce, dynamic style in hits like "Revenge Dress," earning praise from top indie music sites.
