Weird God with Gio Mesto and Ex Iguana
Weird God Bandcamp Born and raised in the Ozark mountains of Arkansas, this North Carolina based sibling duo mixes loud and fast big beats with dreamlike melodies to create a delightful cosmic swirl of post rock/punk exultation. Gio Mesto Bandcamp Based in the Chapel Hill/Carrboro area, Gio Mesto is a four piece that plays songs inspired by the angular rhythms and textures of post-punk, art rock, and shoegaze; as well as drawing from jazz harmony and melody. These influences are evident on both EPs recorded and released in 2024. The band is also known for their moving renditions of classic hits such as ‘8 Mile’ and ‘Still the One.’ Ex Iguana Bandcamp Ex Iguana is an emotive punk duo from Saxapahaw/Carrboro, NC. They blend evocative lyrics and catchy riffs into looping hooks that constantly threaten to self-destruct before finding cathartic release. They put out their first full-length record in May 2025 (“Be a Good Boy” – available on bandcamp) and now they’re making another one.

Indie Rock Catalog Remix: Autopilots with Hook of Moon and Persimmon
Want to see more local shows but don’t know where to start? We’ve got you. You’ve already heard these bands from our Local Mixtape. We remixed them for a spinoff show that everyone will enjoy. Come support local music. The level of talent is unreal. Autopilots: Autopilots are a Raleigh band that writes songs about people, regrets, and whatever else falls through the cracks. Mixing Americana’s laid-back charm with indie rock’s rough edges, Autopilots craft tunes that feel both familiar and fresh. Sometimes it’s tuneful, sometimes it veers into noise, but it’s always chasing the good stuff: tension, release, and a chorus that earns its keep. It’s music for people who want to sleep with their grandfather’s nurse but are too tired to take any meaningful steps to make it happen. Hook of Moon: Hook of Moon makes sad music that you can dance to. Persimmon: Raleigh-based queer ambient post-hardcore band, Persimmon, formed in 2022 consisting of four unassuming independent self-expressionists, Taylor Weber (vocals), Tommy Ellis (guitar), Kai Vosberg (drums), and Soledad Vallejo (bass). Persimmon is the amalgamation of vulnerability, explored inner worlds, and larger emotions unleashed into a heavy yet dynamic sound meant to overwhelm and rapture the audience. Influenced by artists like Anthony Green, System of a Down, Windhand, and AFI, Persimmon is a multi-faceted entity blending ethereal vocals with grunge and emo elements, redefining what the post-hardcore genre encompasses.
