Balloon Ride Fantasy is a DIY band from Pittsburgh and long time Indaba supporter. Their music is upbeat and exciting yet filled with warm undertones and rich harmonies. They give the term “pop” a good name. Over the years they have participated in many contests and have had a positive influence in Indaba community and now, it’s our turn to support them.

Collaborate With Trent Reznor
Former Nine Inch Nails frontman Trent Reznor now leads the collective How To Destroy Angels. It features Reznor’s wife Mariqueen Maandig, musician Atticus Ross, designer Rob Sheridan, and himself. The music is not a huge departure from Reznor’s signature sound, but it is a more delicate and slower blend of the usual growling synths and low-frequency pulses. Intrigued?
