Press Quotes

"Marries an art rock arrangement to a Kathleen Hana style wailing vocals" - Snob's Music
"Jean Jeanie joins St. Vincent as one of the best dynamic female vocalist/guitarists in indie rock." - Death & Taxes
FUTURE TWIN is a punkadelic farmageddon rock and roll outfit from san francisco. Future Twin was first brought together by the all girl moped gang the lockits. they became fast friends and were soon waxing synth songs, huffing gasoline and makeing shred tents late into the evening. since then situations have transpired, people were motivated to get up or get out, landslides shifted the conceptual mindscape...but adaptive by design this pirate ship just keeps sailing. we design our lives towards who we want to be, becoming our own future twin.

Leah Gonzales
Using dance, singing, and drumming, Leah Gonzales performs her own rituals. While performing, she paints an ancient, strange landscape, that encompasses mystical and metaphysical mythologies of her own narrative. With the help of masks and costuming, her rituals encompass not only sound but also the act of art making. With the animal like costuming she transforms into the animal of her desire. With her performance there is often the act of bodily live painting, which leaves behind now just a memory, but also a mark from the
action of ceremony.
action of ceremony.
Watercolor Paintings

K Sugar Hill started performing at age 4 when she held a cereal box with a ruler taped on and sang Twinkle Twinkle aloud. Since, her specialties have broadened to include fiddle, banjo, accordion, vocals, and occasionally kazoo ranging from classical to folk including some rock and R&B covers. She has played with local Americana band the Skinny and performed with other local bands and artists including Snack Time, Sugar in the Salt, and Annah Anti-Palindrome. Her most unusual performance was a burlesque dance while playing the accordion; and her favorite was at a wedding reception when guests skipped madly around the room to “Total Eclipse of the Heart”. She hopes playing at Dissilience Oakland will yield a nice mixture between those two events.
