Tummyache (Acoustic) - Tummyache is a project that blurs the line between band and personal confession, a raw and enigmatic expression crafted by songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Soren Bryce. Since its inception in 2018, Tummyache has carved out a space in the DIY scenes of both the United States and the UK, resonating with listeners who feel the weight of systemic struggles and societal expectations. Bryce’s music pulls no punches; her lyrics confront issues of class, privilege, and inner conflict, inviting listeners to face the harsh realities she lays bare.

In 2020, Tummyache expanded its lineup when UK-based bassist Linus Fenton joined as a key creative contributor, adding new depth to Bryce’s already evocative soundscapes. A year later, Bianka Baranova, from Slovakia by way of the UK, joined the live band and soon after contributed creatively to the project. Arthur James began drumming with the trio early 2024, after the dissolving of Brighton’s own cult-status hardcore band Negative Measures. Together, the four have infused Tummyache with new perspectives, creating a dynamic interplay that has only deepened the intensity of their music.

Their sophomore album, Egosystem, released in 2024, is a provocative exploration of ego within the structure of Western society. This album builds on the raw emotion of Soak, as Bryce and her bandmates dissect the roles ego plays in shaping relationships, ambition, and self-identity. As much a philosophical journey as a musical one, Egosystem offers listeners a powerful reflection on personal and societal frameworks, challenging them to confront their own assumptions and desires.

LAPTOP (Unplugged) - Laptop is the cult electro-pop project of quintessential New York filmmaker and musician Jesse Hartman, and now his 19-year-old son Charlie Hartman—arguably the first father/son duo in alt-rock history. Known for blending sharp wit, heartbreak, and a deadpan delivery with a totally unique insincere sincerity, Jesse was once a Voidoid with Richard Hell and half of the duo Sammy (Fire Records/Geffen Records), before releasing three critically acclaimed Laptop albums on Island Records/Universal.

Now, after two decades humming underground, the Hartmans are rebooting Laptop for a rare acoustic set—reimagining the sardonic songs from Opening Credits, The Old Me vs. The New You, and Don’t Try This at Home, plus a handful of future hits off the upcoming album, On This Planet.

The show also perfectly coincides with the release of “Weirder” (mixed by Bowie producer Mario McNulty), Laptop’s prescient new single about these very strange times, out June 6. The Hartmans are looking forward to unplugging the Laptop to bring their dry, wicked charm and raw vulnerability to the Moon Lake stage.
