System Exclusive + Red Vanilla

The Vault with Sleepy eyed presents- System Exclusive + Red Vanilla. System exclusive are a Pasadena, CA originated duo, balancing the hard edged electronic pulse of old school synthwerks against hot-under-the-collar live drums and slashing post-punk guitar! Support from Alt Rock band Red Vanilla!

System Exclusive
Faced with the near-impossible task of making a living in California while working as touring musicians, artists Ari B and Matt Jones put their life in storage, put a bed in the van, and have been living wherever the shows take them. On a mission to make strangers misty in the disco throughout the US, UK, and Europe…and wherever else fine records are sold.

The new album, ‘Click’ was conceived at maximum velocity across multiple borders, a venn diagram of clanging post-punk thrust, neon lavender synthesizer latticeworks, and Ari’s tough yet tender alto reaching for the streetlights. In the past two years System Exclusive have hauled their mini-synth “band in a backpack” to 12 different countries, 20 different US states and all around the UK in desperate search of a good time. They brazenly sought to record this album on the incredibly beautiful but isolated Portuguese island of Saõ Miguel, and experienced a superstition-confirming level of setbacks, equipment breaking, and cosmic nuttiness while tracking. Secret weapon and Bay Area producer extraordinaire K. Dylan Edrich took those island-cursed stems and cultivated them into the sculpture garden of tunes that now lay before you.

Red Vanilla
Hailing from Dundee, Alternative Rock Band, Red Vanilla, are in the midst of an identity bloom. After tirelessly working to discover and perfect their niche, they find themselves neatly planted in a bed of self belief, sanguinary, and unlimited intent. With singles ‘The Know-How’ and ‘All These Better Things’ newly released, the band promise to provide a live set on par with their intense and infectious energy.
