Mister Lies
Matthewdavid, Dream Panther, Teams


Mister Lies is the operational alias for producer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Nick Zanca. It was also the product of dorm-room insomnia, developing an odd family of friends in a city of strangers, and homesickness for places where one only feels homesick. Born in 1992 and raised by wolves in the suburban jungles of Connecticut, he learned to hunt his prey by means of basement shows and prolonged caffeine binges. Shortly after Zanca relocated to Chicago to attend school, he formed an pack with several other lone wolves aiming to create something greater. In the harshest parts of February winter in the Windy City; equipped with a laptop, several controllers and whatever instruments were lying around his congested dorm-room; he released his first EP anonymously before eventually revealing his identity making rounds across the blog circuit. The trip-hop inspired Hidden Neighbors has been compared to the dark nostalgia found in acts like Boards of Canada, Burial, and Massive Attack. Zanca now budgets time between his habitat in the Lakeview neighborhood of Chicago and his hideaway at a cabin on a Vermont lake, preparing new material for his first full-length to be released on Lefse Records in early 2013.

Dream Panther
Dream Panther is the mind child of a large black cat named Gusto. His humans, Greg and Nick manifest smooth, sexy nostalgia filled music channeled by Gusto. Originating from South LA, the songs document a struggle for survival and a will to see the good in the hard. Their upcoming EP Beyonce's Child is the first step into post-gangster soul wave.

Teams
The homie Teams is just getting bak from a crazy 5 wk tour that ended with several uh-mazing shows in Japan. shit was insane and beautiful or so the pictures tell me. anyway now that he is back stateside we decided it was probably a really good time to bring him through future perfect if for whatever reason you don't know.
