Bombshell Nightlight (Butte / Missoula, MT) is the songwriting project of Jon Cardiello (also of Anything Bagel, Wrinkles, Fantasy Suite, Soft Maybe). Cardiello uses this project to process his innermost self. The songs display a radical intimacy as Cardiello touches on grieving his father’s death, the pains of a drawn out breakup, and the clarity of new love. With a new batch of songs, and a full band (featuring members of Missoula’s Bluest, Boys, Soft Maybe, and Mermaid Book Club) the Bombshell Nightlight live performance has culminated into a new refined sound that channels Cardiello’s songwriting into a raw, emotive experience.
Tiny Iota (Bozeman, MT) writes tiny songs that scream like a dust mite into the eternal abyss. Flavored with a fondness for doo wop and punk, their debut album HUBBUB, released May 2022, is an ode to overthinking, toeing the line between anxiety and acceptance.
