Colatura ~ Lady HD ~ Glitterspitter

Colatura crafts a sound that is sometimes dreamy, sometimes heavy, with fuzzy guitars, catchy melodies, and emotionally charged storytelling. A staple of the Brooklyn music scene, the band relocated to Pittsburgh in 2024 and splits time between the two cities.

Colatura has played major festivals, including SXSW, NXNE, New Colossus Festival, and Seattle’s Capitol Hill Block Party, and has shared a stage with artists like Slow Pulp, Hinds, Nation of Language, and Pom Pom Squad. They have been described live as “like sunshine streaming out of an amplifier with its volume set at nine” (Full Time Aesthetic).

Colatura’s debut album, And Then I’ll Be Happy (2022), was celebrated with a release show at The Sultan Room in Brooklyn and a national tour. In 2024, they followed it with Suffer Dude and Do You Miss Her, an A/B side produced by Aron Kobayashi Ritch (Momma). Their music has earned praise from outlets such as Brooklyn Vegan, Under The Radar, Consequence, Austin Town Hall, and Atwood, and has been featured on Spotify’s All New Rock playlist and as the cover of Pandora’s AMP: Fresh Cuts station.

Colatura has been featured on radio stations such as KEXP, DKFM, WFUV, and WYEP, where they were also featured as Artist of the Week and performed a session live on air. This summer, Colatura returns with If I’m Being Honest, an EP produced by Nixon Boyd (Hollerado), out on Easy Does It Records August 1st. In addition to the release, the band is gearing up for a European tour via Annibale Records this fall.

Lady HD is a classic story of boy meets boy. No one can say for sure when they first met, but we can say with certainty that they did meet one day. Perhaps it was in the bustling markets of Kathmandu as they searched for the perfect blend of silk and rayon to provide the most optimal breathability for their undercarriage. Per chance it was on the dangerous unmarked slopes of the Austrian alps as they charted new ski runs for the boldest and bravest. Maybe they both matched with the same girl on tinder and she accidentally scheduled them to meet her at the same place at the same time. There’s no way to know. But who cares about the beginning of their story. Or the end for that matter (which will either be simultaneous death by spontaneous combustion of cryogenic freezing of their heads). What we do care about is the part of their story they’re currently occupying. As each one respectively hails from their own side of these united states in standard definition, Ciaran writes music from Philly and Dusty produces it in LA. Together, they are Lady HD. Revel in their grungy pop. Please listen responsibly.

Philly dream pope.
