MikO Tolliver is an Electro-pop, Indie guitar player and songwriter from California. Her musical sound is a retro influenced Indie – pop with lyrical prose. She blends a skeleton of guitar chords and riffs with synthesized sounds and beats ranging from experimental and Ska influences to driving rhythm. Her debut album, “Heart is Money,” is a mix of her musical influences like Jamiroquai, Jeff Buckley and Portishead with a love of sound effects and cult films such as the 80s cult classic “Labyrinth.”
Creating a unique version of aggressive Indie Rock, Austin's own SkyAcre is Marcos Delgado (guitar and vocals), Daniel Dietrick (bass), and Daniel Jones (drums). Easily one of the loudest three piece bands around, SkyAcre ranges from hauntingly soft melodies to fits of angered mayhem in the blink of an eye. The band delves into odd time signatures and complicated riffs with ease, while maintaining catchy resonating hooks. Lyrically, front-man Marcos Delgado explores a broad spectrum touching on everything from politics to emotionally heavy self introspection.
