Warm Drag, Miranda and the Beat

WARM DRAG Los Angeles' Paul Quattrone and Vashti Windish blend their garage rock roots with a record store's worth of influences -- including dub, hip-hop, harsh noise, and minimal synth -- into a sexy, subterranean sound on releases such as their 2018 self-titled debut album.
Quattrone, a drummer for Thee Oh Sees and a former member of !!! and Modey Lemon, reconnected with Windish, a vocalist formerly of Golden Triangle and K-Holes, by chance in Los Angeles. The pair soon began mixing her commanding vocals with his sampling skills, and Warm Drag were born. After spending some time gigging and DJ'ing around the city, in August 2018 the duo released Warm Drag on In the Red.

MIRANDA & THE BEAT Drawing from the traditional rock music, as performed by the likes of The Dirt Bombs, The B-52’s, MC5, and Ronnie Spector, Miranda and The Beat operate from a clear-eyed appreciation of the greats and a healthy, barn-burning disregard for tropes or traditionalist limitations. Garage, soul, punk, classic rock... Arriving in New York City in 2018, the band have, through songwriting and performance, proved themselves to be both an essential spark and spearhead to a scene of new blood rockers bringing a much-needed renewal of energy to the New York scene. Originally a duo of 21-year-old guitarist/vocalist Miranda Zipse and 21-year-old drummer Kim “The Beat” Sollecito, the pair quickly added a full band and soon became known for their tireless, wheel-on-fire live sets driven by Miranda’s captivating stage presence, vocal prowess, and her pyrotechnic, melodically slashing guitar work. Their live reputation led to collaborations with such childhood idols as The Mystery Lights and Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Soon there was the release of their 7” single Such A Fool, on Jack White’s Third Man Records. One pandemic later, between days/nights spent sweating out piss, vinegar, and trackloads of tears in the studio, and a rigorous, borderline ridiculous, rehearsal schedule, Miranda and The Beat are, at this juncture, one of NYC's most formidable live aggregations. This show welcomes them home from a six-week nationwide tour with The King Khan & BBQ Show.
