With Talker & Dan Sadin

Madi Sipes and the Painted Blue is a band from San Francisco, fronted by singer and electric guitarist, Madi Sipes. With her captivating voice and mature songwriting, Madi started gaining fans at a young age in her hometown of Placerville, California. While performing one of her songs at a summer camp talent show, Madi caught the attention of counselor and Los Angeles-based songwriter Andrew Heringer. The two began long-distance collaboration over the next few years, while Andrew was performing and touring in the band Milo Greene.

In the spring of 2015, Madi recruited longtime friends Nick Cunningham (bass) and Caleb Koen (drums) to form her band. The band traveled to Los Angeles to finish writing and recording the final few songs for Madi Sipes and the Painted Blue’s forthcoming debut: After Hours. Pulling from a diversity of influences — including Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Ocean and Fleet Foxes — After Hours showcases what The Sacramento Bee describes as “feisty and sultry indie soul pop.”

talker is the grunge-pop project of Los Angeles-based Celeste Tauchar. The name is a nod to her last name, notorious in her family for being misspelled and mispronounced.

Starting out touring and playing for other bands including electro-pop group FRENSHIP, Tauchar quickly gained extensive performance experience at venues and festivals like Red Rocks, The Bowery Ballroom (NYC), The El Rey
Theatre (LA), Lollapalooza, and Outside Lands.

After years of writing and developing on an artistic & personal level, Tauchar began independently releasing music under the name “talker”, which received attention from such notable outlets as Alternative Press, Grimy Goods, We Found New Music, Buzzbands LA, and more. Her first single “Collateral Damage” reached #5 on the Hype Machine popular charts, and her single “Intimidated” was featured on Spotify’s “Pulp” playlist.

These early releases resulted in talker’s debut EP “Horror Films”, which featured collaborations with April Bender and Dan Sadin, production from Sadin and Phil Simmonds, mixing by Mike Pepe and Jesse Ernster, and mastering by Dave Harris.

Deeply rooted in the Los Angeles indie scene, talker has headlined the Hi Hat, Madame Siam, & Moroccan Lounge, and has performed at countless other notable venues including the Hotel Café and the Roxy. She has toured opening for Yoke Lore, and has opened for notable artists in LA including retro rocker Hannah Wicklund & the Steppin Stones. In August 2019 she performed at Echo Park Rising as direct support for Low Hum.

Constantly creating with no plans to stop, talker signed to Common Ground Records in preparation for her next EP, centered around her own struggles with anxiety and depression. The first single “Keep Me Safe” was released in October, and the next single “Learning the Feeling” comes out on December 10th.

LA-BASED ROCKER, DAN SADIN, IS A GUITAR PLAYER FIRST, AND SONGWRITER ALWAYS, WHO IS VOICING THE QUIET CONVERSATIONS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN DARK BAR ROOMS, BEDROOMS, THERAPY SESSIONS AND OUR MOST INTIMATE THOUGHTS, BRINGING THESE IDEAS OUT OF SECRECY AND IN
