Orlando, FL
SWIMM

SWIMM makes music that can be categorized as psych pop that makes you think. They combined sonic elements of weightlessness and psychedelic fluidity with lyrical content grounded in social commentary and a longing for clarity in the big issues… wrapped neatly in satirical prose that begs for more than just one listen. SWIMM is trying to break your heart but also make you dance through it.

bar
Lil Indies

“Favorite local bar is Lil Indies – I get Mezcal on the rocks. They make great drinks and usually have solid chill live music. Kayleigh Baker plays there often and she is angelic!” – SWIMM

“This spot is a local staple. Great drinks, and music is almost always happening. All the musicians in town always end up here after we get done playing weekend gigs. It’s an odd little space with thrift-store decor, but it’s home. Indies is located in the heart of the Mills 50 district, and there are tons of other cool spots within walking distance from it, too.” – Cat Ridgeway
