Frequently pushing that sensual sweet-spot between genres, Cut Snake’s rough and ready party vibes come out of the studio with slick sonic edges, holding their own just as well at banging peak-time as at a lazy afternoon poolside sesh. The only guidelines you need for these tunas come straight from the slinker’s mouth: “best enjoyed with a beer in hand" Having spent the first decade of his career as a pro surfer, Cut Snake’s Leigh ‘Sedz’ Sedley got into dance music while touring the world for surf contests, inspired by the underground scenes in each country he visited. The career transition from beach to beats was remarkably smooth. Whilst waiting for waves he fine-tuned his production skills from beachfront bungalows, giving his music its unique taste: fresh as, and just a little salty. “I like spending time in my little studio,” Sedz reflects, “but my favourite thing to do is take my Winnebago down the beach and write tunes on the roof with a mad view.” As it always has been, the key is to give maximum vibes and minimum fucks. As for what’s next, the future is fluid. “I’m just going with the flow at the moment; we’ll see how shit pans out!” Spoken like a true man of the waves. As Sedz would say: sit back, crack a tinnie, and get stuck into it.

Lose Yr Mind Fest is pleased to announce the full line up for the 8th annual independent music festival celebrating some of the best artists in rock, psychedelic, post-punk and garage.
This year’s primarily local lineup of 23 bands and two music showcases will take place September 2-3, 2022 across four venues in Portland’s Central Eastside neighborhood, with a free and open to the public wrap party on September 4.
Along with a majority of female fronted bands, this year’s festival will emphasize BIPOC and LGBTQ+ representation, making it the most diverse Lose Yr Mind Fest to-date.
Fueled by the nostalgia of the 90’s, this year’s lineup dives into the past to create a new blend of fresh and eclectic post-punk sounds. Highlights at Lose Yr Mind Fest include various Portland-based hometown stars such as ‘sad rock’ Soft Kill, psychedelic-pop band The Dandy Warhols, and indie-folk MAITA, whose sophomore record I Just Want to Be Wild for You dropped in February. While the mix of artists at Lose Yr Mind Fest includes local favorites, Psychic Bloom’s soulful garage rock from Tehran and Orquestra Pacifico Tropical’s Colombian cumbia rhythms show that the festival sounds go beyond borders and genres.
