Las Mariposas Galácticas is an 8-piece Cumbia Klezmer Punk band and cultural project based in Philadelphia, PA. Combining band members’ South American and Jewish ancestries, the band creates a unique diasporic sound that gets audiences everywhere dancing with rebellious joy. By honoring their Indigenous Andean musical ancestries, blended together with punkified ancient Jewish melodies, the band plays a mixture of original and classic tunes that span different languages, cultures, and genres. Las Mariposas have toured the east coast and collaborated with international acts such as the renowned Mexican rock band Los Cogelones and Argentinian Tropi-punk group Kumbia Queers. They have headlined the L.A.T.I.N. PunkFest in Philadelphia and NYC and continue to accompany their communities’ struggle for liberation everywhere from prominent stages to cultural, activist and community spaces.

Eight Foot Manchild is a self-dubbed “doombrass” band, with a sound that combines elements of doom metal, funk, and psych rock, featuring an electrified horn section (tuba, trombone, bari sax) that plays through effects pedals. They strive to find a sonic crossroads somewhere between Electric Wizard, Budos Band, King Crimson, and Wu-Tang Clan, writing tunes inspired by everything from existentialism and absurdity to classic kung fu and Godzilla movies.
