From a young age songwriter of Credit Electric Ryan LoPilato wrote songs to "sing out the lightness of the things in life we find dark." His first solo moniker Haunted Houses was summoned through surrealist automatism, creating a sound focused around raw and improvised one take recordings of guitar, keyboard and voice the Fader describes as a "visceral connection similar to a David Lynch film, where you aren't entirely sure what's going on but still emotionally connect with the characters." This emotively charged process of writing led to an outpouring of material he wanted to take to full band arrangements. LoPilato met guitarist Cameron Iturri-Carpenter with whom began to write and collaborate, finding musician and sound engineer Stephen Boyd, Kansas City native Nathan Smith and pedal steel player Evan Hiller to form the bands unique sound.

And Then Nothing Happened is the new album from Bay Area folk-rock band China. Fronted by singer-songwriter Michael James Tapscott and rounded out by bassist and songwriter Jeff Moller, guitarist Jacob Aranda, and drummer Raphi Gottesman, the band will be familiar to many music fans for their involvement over the years in groups such as Sugar Candy Mountain, Odawas, Paula Frazer & Tarnation, Papercuts, Sonny & the Sunsets, and more. More revisionist than revivalist, the band takes its cues from classic artists like Neil Young, The Byrds, and The Band, and reinterprets those classic sounds through the lens of the last 30 years of indie rock and underground music.  

About Lonesome Station
Two humans hailing from Appalachia were brought together through a harmonious affinity for storytelling, songs of heartbreak, and visceral musical experiences. Yearning for the transcendental power of music when played in intimate, non-traditional spaces; Lonesome Station was born. In line with a long tradition of house shows, supporting local and touring musicians with transparency is the utmost priority. A station is a destination, a broadcast, a grounding force; Lonesomeness, paradoxically, builds the hamlet.

Each ticket includes a download of Credit Electric's new EP, "Easy Moon," released June 28, 2019.
