Gentle Brontosaurus

media release: Gentle Brontosaurus is a five-piece indie-pop band from Madison, Wisconsin, in the vein of Alvvays, The Beths, and Belle & Sebastian. Critics have called their music “effortless, breezy fun interspersed with harder-edged rockers.” Huan-Hua Chye, Nick Davies, Paul Marcou, Scott Stetson, and Anneliese Valdes each contribute vocals and instrumentation, creating intricately collaborative songs and a dynamic live show. In 2026, Gentle Brontosaurus released their third full-length album, My Favorite Monster.

Parting Blue is a four-piece indie/alternative rock band from Madison, Wisconsin. Formed in 1992 as Depression Glass, they made an album called Through the Pane in 1995 and played occasional gigs in coffee shops and small spaces. In the three decades since they’ve acquired a full time lead guitarist and drummer, gotten married and re-married, had kids, etc. and, somehow, kept the band together. In 2025 they decided to commit to recording another album. The result is the self-titled Parting Blue, 10 songs mostly about relationships, friendships, and love lost and gained. This concert will celebrate the album's release (it emerges on streaming on Sept. 4: partingblue.bandcamp.com.
