The “subversive jamband” supergroup of bassist Alex Bleeker (Real Estate), drummer Chris Tomson (Vampire Weekend), guitarist Dave Harrington (Darkside) and keyboardist Zach Tenorio-Miller (Arc Iris) exemplified the magazine’s core values of collaboration, community, historical reverence and mind-bending innovation with a star-studded cast of “friends and casual acquaintances” who lent their talents to two sets of originals and covers of scene staples.
