A night of soothing, enchanting music that will make you want to dance, with Preformer (LA), Fine Motor (Reno), and Silly Little (Reno).
Preformer is a genre-defying indie rock quartet based in Los Angeles, California. Formed in 2022 at the California Institute of the Arts, the band quickly began crafting a distinct sonic identity by blending intricate rhythms from West Africa, India, Eastern Europe, and Black American Music with the raw energy and introspection of indie rock, folk, and grammy award winning traditional pop.
The band consists of Greg Miles Lewis (drums/electronics), Redfield Clipper (guitar/vocals), Jolee Gordon (vocals), and June Higgins (bass/vocals), a quartet equally devoted to discovering song in the oblong and normalizing oblique feels in rhythmic and tonal design. Together, they craft music that is at once cerebral and emotionally resonant, layering odd meters, polyrhythms, and rich vocal harmony over atmospheric textures and melodic hooks, all in the mantra of unifying the simple and complex under the mission statement of universal accessibility.
Rooted in a shared passion for global musical traditions and experimental composition, Preformer thrives at the intersection of technical precision and common song. Their live shows are known for their dynamic range-shifting from calm, hypnotic grooves to explosive, asymmetrical improvisations—creating an immersive experience that confounds and comforts audiences.
Preformer continues to push the boundaries of what indie rock and traditional song can be, honoring their diverse influences while forging new musical territory from their creative base in Los Angeles.
