kiKASHIMA
Fresh off the 2023 Tiny Desk Contest On The Road Show and featured on WXPN’s Key Studio Sessions, Kikashima is the band and moniker of Mexican-Japanese-Californian singer/songwriter, Carissa Matsushima. Now based in Philadelphia, Kikashima is made up of equal parts legacy and rebellion. They are a sensuous power trio that boasts heart-breaking melodies, down-to-earth lyrics and grooves that move both body and soul thanks to Parker St. Charles on bass and Max Azarmehr on drums. Dropping hints of funk, soul, and folk, their music is as multi-faceted and unique as Kikashima herself, whose gorgeous vocals range from whisper to wail, all in the name of beauty, grief, and the courage to feel everything.
Roberta Faceplant
Roberta Faceplant is a honky tonk hurricane from Philadelphia. The 5-piece Outlaw Americana band has been called “a cowpunk miracle” and been compared to “Southern Culture on the Skids fronted by Laura Bell Bundy.” It’s Country, but you can hear the city.

Staffed by a gang of mischievous musical veterans, Roberta Faceplant’s live show is high-energy roadhouse joy infused with a rebellious spirit that’ll keep you on the dance floor all night.
The band’s sound has captivated audiences in the Northeast Corridor with elements of southern rock, old school country, rockabilly, and the blues blending perfectly into a melting pot of killer melodies, memorable riffs, and playful storytelling.
Roberta Faceplant has already garnered international press and radio play on KEXP, WXPN, KLKT, KOOP, Nola County Radio, Post To Wire, Lonesome Highway and more. The band just released their debut EP, Yee Haw Stuff, on July 26, 2024 and is working on a follow up slated for 2025
