Foamboy

Foamboy are a Portland-based pop duo comprised of producer Wil Bakula and vocalist Katy Ohsiek. Wil and Katy worked together for many years in other projects before creating their debut pop album, My Sober Daydream, in 2020 and releasing it in 2021. My Sober Daydream has launched this duo into a new stage of their careers, earning recognition from indie greats including KCRW, Consequence of Sound, and Week in Pop. Foamboy has graced some of Portland’s favorite stages, including Holocene and Mississippi Studios. Listeners can expect jazz-inspired danceable pop with a hyper-personal lyrical edge. 


To follow in the success of their debut album, Foamboy is releasing a new album in spring 2024. Audiences will enjoy an extension of their established sound, as it grows into a new, dreamy direction while staying true to its pop roots.

Spooky Boys

Spooky Boys are Portland’s favorite indie/surf rock group known for their jangly dripping wet guitars, relentless driving rhythm, and insatiable catchy melodies. The ‘Boys bring a fun and undeniable charisma to their energetic shows that leave crowds no choice but to dance along.

Dakota Theim

A songwriter with a gift for whimsical melodies, breezy productions, and introspective lyricism, Dakota Theim has been a mainstay on the Portland indie underground for years.  His sound is largely inspired by the golden age of FM radio, laden with sunny harmonies and blissed out guitars.  With his latest releases, he is exploring new sonic territory while musing on relationships, identity, and aging, resulting in some of the most endearing songs of his career. 

Dakota’s auteur-like qualities have earned him favorable comparisons to artists like Tame Impala and Mac DeMarco.  He writes and produces all of his own material from his Portland home studio, often times being joined by live band members Ben Bilotti, Alex Werner, Jack Stringer, and Joseph Freeman to round out his recordings.  Together, the band has hosted several sold-out shows in their hometown, and toured extensively across the Pacific Northwest. 

While his productions are often eccentric and whimsical, Dakota’s devotion to the craft of songwriting is what sets him apart.  His songs are meticulously composed, full of left turns and moments of unexpected beauty.  With a steady stream of new content expected for this year and beyond, Dakota finds himself on the verge of breaking out of his local scene and reaching a national audience.
