Brought to You by Tragedy is a raw-edged, candid and gutsy collection that May describes as “healing out loud,” with songs of immeasurable grief, defiance and resolve in equal parts. Throughout the EP, May wields her raspy, rock-ready voice on torched ballads and emo screamers alike. On “Gone,” driven by 90s power chords and red-hot rage, May channels the energy of classic pop punk break-up anthems into a song of permanent loss, about the shock and fallout of sudden death. “This song is everything I didn’t get to say,” says May. “The chorus? That’s me screaming at him, calling him out for leaving me like this, for making me figure out how to exist in something we were supposed to build together. It’s grief, but it’s also defiance. I’m not the kind of girl you get to leave like this.” “You and Me” shows May’s ability to convey the gentler sides of her grief. Torched and tender, the song explores what must be let go and what endures. “It’s about learning that love isn’t just about having someone,” says May, “it’s about the mark they leave on you.” Throughout Brought to You by Tragedy, May is unflinching in her openness, from the visceral “Feels like Drugs” to the hard-won hope that lifts “Front Row,” a song that encapsulates the EP’s purpose. A riveting and unflinching look at catastrophic loss, and what comes next, Brought to You by Tragedy is a work of necessity. “None of this music should exist, but it does,” says May. “Brought to You by Tragedy is not just one tragedy,” continues May. “To date I’ve lost so many people that I've known well. And that is normal for a Native person. I'm going to say that hard, I'm gonna say that with my chest, because we are not strangers to compounded and very complex grief and trauma. I just happened to be blessed with a gift to express it in the way that I can." Ultimately, Brought to You by Tragedy, Thea May’s commanding entrance, is a thrilling, thrashing, compelling and compassionate work of love. Information Source: Knox Hall | eventbrite

Hailing from Los Angeles, the epicenter for rock n’ roll in all its debauchery and glamour, Steel Panther has established themselves as the world’s premier party band, melding hard rock virtuosity with parody and criminally good looks. Steel Panther is a global phenomenon with four full-length albums, touring across the world, platinum-level You Tube status and high-profile television appearances such as Jimmy Kimmel Live, Larry King Now, and FOX NFL Sunday. Rolling Stone avowed, “There’s a reason Steel Panther have transcended their origins as a cover band playing the Sunset Strip,” while Metal Sucks declared, Steel Panther’s concept is genius...their songwriting is...preposterously snappy – and relatable.” Information Source: The Diamond Mine Agency | eventbrite
