9pm:
Derek Gaines (LA) - guitar/electronics
New York City born, Connecticut raised, Los Angeles resident Derek Gaines is one half of the psych rock band Jerkagram. His solo material focuses on minimalist repetition and meditative yet engaged sound in vein of the style forefronted by Robert Fripp with his Frippertronics. With the release of his most recent tape "Laika", he brings a similar wave of ambience but with minimalist psychedelic melodies and hints of folk music inspiration.
