Slow Teeth makes original cinematic music inspired by Radiohead/The Smile, Pink Floyd, Sigur Ros, and many more. The band formed and started writing songs in Saxapahaw, North Carolina in June 2021, initially as an opportunity for Robert Chamberlain (drums, synthesizers), Justin Ellis (bass, vocals, keyboards), and Jeremy Haire (guitar, vocals) to start playing music with others following the pandemic lockdown while previous respective projects were on indefinite hiatus. As the band’s chemistry and highly collaborative identity coalesced, they began playing live in March 2022, tweaking and adapting their improvised post-rock compositions into finished songs and performing them all over the East Coast.
Slow Teeth has supported such acts as Xiu Xiu, A Place To Bury Strangers, Holy Fawn, Easter Island, Camp St. Helene, and more. Notable US venues and festivals played include the Cat’s Cradle (Carrboro NC), Kings (Raleigh NC), Berlin Under A (New York City), Pie Shop (Washington DC), The Drunken Unicorn (Atlanta GA), The Basement (Nashville TN), The Pinhook (Durham NC), Motorco Music Hall (Durham NC), Fleetwood’s (Asheville NC), the North Carolina State Fair, the Festival For The Eno, Bull City Summit, and the Carrboro Music Festival.
Outside of their original compositions and visceral live shows, Slow Teeth has presented various music community events, including a Father’s Day- themed music festival (Paternity Fest at The Kraken, June 2022), a month-long Durham performance residency culminating in an improvised film score to a classic silent film (“Metropolis” at Arcana March 2023), and a headlining show at the Cat’s Cradle in August 2023 to perform Pink Floyd’s “Dark Side of The Moon” front to back for the album’s 50th anniversary, complete with backing musicians and interactive visuals.
The band independently released their debut single “Still You Speak” in May 2023 and are actively writing and recording new music.
For this special Halloween headlining set, Slow Teeth will be performing a live film score to the 13-minute film “Fall Of The House Of Usher” (1928). An event not to be missed!

Winfield is a Chapel Hill, NC based band formed in 2017. Their music blends the energy of vintage indie rock and the textures of dream pop and goth/ post-punk. In 2018, Victoria Roy (vocals), Brad Prenda (guitar, vocals), Kent Corley (bass) and David Bunch (drums) entered the studio with producer Scott Solter (Spoon, St. Vincent, Mountain Goats, Superchunk) to record their 7-song debut, GIANT.
After spending much of 2018 and early 2019 performing, Winfield returned to the studio with Solter again in 2019 to record their follow-up four-song self-titled EP. “With You” & “Simple Things” showcase a darker, more intimate and experimental sound that emphasizes unconventional arrangements and the delicate interplay of warm harmonies. “Seconds” and “Contusion” are dark and raucous reminders that WINFIELD is at heart a rock band building on the strong foundation of alternative pioneers from the 70s-90s.
