Opening up the show with Hell Priests! New Orleans natives August Doussan (drums) and Jude Hughes (guitar) met in the depths of 2020, steaming in the hellfire of virtual elementary school, and both honing their skills on their respective instruments. August had been drumming since he was a toddler and Jude started playing guitar in kindergarten, so they were a great match to become the youngest 2 man heavy metal band on this burning earth. On the night of their first sleepover at the age of 10 years old, Jude and August wrote their first original song, ”Blood Moon,” and the band was born. Hell Priests is a one of a kind progressive instrumental metal duo. The boys have played multiple shows in New Orleans, including opening up for the legendary Mac Sabbath at Zony Mash in November 2022 and playing the Fête du Void festival with Ice Man Special in September 2023. Hell Priests’ original songs offer wild guitar and drum solos alike, and their covers show the boys’ vast appreciation and mastery of metal, rock n’ roll, and beyond.

Monsoon is a two-piece indie rock band from Athens, Georgia who weave together unorthodox styles to create music that dips between the conscious and subconscious. Their new album Ghost Party is now available on all streaming platforms. After the release of Monsoon's debut album “Ride A’Rolla” the band garnered the attention of Toyota and were contacted about using the title track for a Toyota Corolla commercial. From there, the placement landed a spot just after the 2016 Super Bowl half-time show and the band was invited to participate in the world’s first “360 multi-cam music video” launched by Google. Between the reach of the placements and touring, Monsoon gained a small cult-like following along the East Coast. Now, after the release of Ghost Party in 2022,  Monsoon stays busy, relentlessly touring up and down the East Coast, Midwest, and Canada with the left side of America on the horizon for Spring 2024.
