ADVANCE BASE | Chicago, IL
Advance Base is the melancholic soft rock recording project of Chicago, IL singer/songwriter Owen Ashworth (formerly of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone). Using a two-handed arsenal of electric piano, Omnichord, samplers, effect pedals & drum machines, Ashworth builds minimalist, heavy-hearted, & nostalgia-obsessed ballads around his conversational baritone. The warm, electronic sound of Advance Base has been described as "lo-fi," "depressed" & "weirdly uplifting." Advance Base has toured with The Postal Service, Pedro the Lion, The Mountain Goats, Stephin Merritt, Dean Wareham, Slaughter Beach Dog & Wednesday. Advance Base part of First Date roster of touring artists.
william h. travis | Bethlehem, PA
william h. travis is a disgruntled songwriter who tries to sing in ways that aren't personally displeasurable and to write in ways that aren't regrettable in the hindsight years. the lyrics and music are equal parts undiagnosed depression and unhinged joy. viewers have been overheard saying things like "i feel like i'm at a birthday party at a funeral." these viewers may be fictionalized as there is no documented proof of their existence. william h. travis lives in bethlehem, pa and only ever leaves home to remember why it is hardly ever left. alex luquet will provide accompaniment.
