The Lightweight Champs were born in 2015 when Guitarist Ryan Garrette, Drummer Angie Pancho, and Bassist Justin Stiles started annoying their neighbors by practicing Weezer covers both loudly and poorly in Ryan's living room. The Tacoma-based group soon began writing their own tunes and gigging as much as possible, gaining a loyal following of friends and other bands. They released their first EP, Semi-Pro, in 2016 and their first album, Contenders in 2018, both recorded at Mountain House Studios in Tacoma. The champs followed this up with a small regional tour and a full West-Coast tour. A year later, the Champs sold all their belongings and moved into a van, embarking on a tour to the other side of the country. After about 3 months on the road playing small venues, basements, and the occasional barn, the van broke down, the world shut down, and the band went on hiatus as Justin and Ryan pursued college degrees. Now, five years and three degrees later the Champs planned to re-unite to re-connect with each other and the scene they love. But with Ryan becoming a father around the same time, Angie and Justin will be uniting with members of their new bands to perform a supergroup tribute to the Champs: RIP LWC. Join them as they throw one last party and revel in the nostalgia and sing their hopeless power-pop tunes about always losing with a smile on your face.

Midnight Movie is a Tacoma wuss-punk band composed of Colin, Evan, and Aaron. They make fun music about feelings, NPR, and Albertsons.

Based out of Seattle, WA, Batbox is a rock trio that has been playing together since 2017. Often featuring unconventional instruments such as trumpet and violin, Batbox cuts across genres by incorporating elements of punk, progressive, jazz, blues, folk, and more. Lyrics are self-reflective, often bitter, sometimes political, but always of light-hearted spirit.

Philadelphia's Cosmic Cactus is bassist and singer Justin Stiles and Guitarist and Singer Ravi Raghani. The duo began playing funk and jazz music together, and began to fuse their sensibilities with a folk and country sound. Committed to creativity, no two Cactus shows are the same, with a wide variety of jammy synth-forward tunes and classic country waltzes in a setlist that commonly includes guest players. The cactus will be bringing their more acoustic sensibilities to the Northwest as they join Batbox, The Lightweight Champs, and friends on the RIP LWC reunion.
