About the Artists:
General Purpose is a Progressive Rock Band based in Greensboro, NC. The group utilizes classical instruments such as clarinet and violin and puts them into a rock context. Drawing influence from 70's acts such as Jethro Tull, Yes, Genesis and others, combined with Classical and Jazz influence, songwriters Xul Rutty (Bass/Vocals) and Uno Dos Santos (Guitar) create a symphonic experience through the large instrumentation. General Purpose is dedicated to creating a unique and interactive concert experience to demand the audiences full attention, even collaborating with visual artists.
Jaguardini, the Harrisonburg, Virginia-based synth duo, treats music like a science project, manipulating synthesizers, VHS audio/video, gameboy, vocoder, guitar and fervid vocals to create a live blend of energetic Dark Wave and LOFI EBM โ with a CRT TV on his head. Touring with new DARKWAVE/EBM album, "Temper," this summer.
"Temper chronicles the journey through my recovery from alcohol. I started writing this album, with Mickey, December 2024. On my birthday, February 2025, I quit alcohol completely. Through conversations, reflections, writing sessions, and exploration, I used Temper an artifact to archive the wild and blurry path behind me, the changes I've been making in my life for the better. A friend, Freye, told me last summer, "Clarity is a commodity." I've been clinging to that idea, valuing all the little moments life has to offer. I am grateful for all of those who have lifted me up so far, and I am excited to share this album."
