Frida Kill at The Sultan Room

Pop Music Fever Dream is a post-punk/no wave band from New York City. Their sound is wildly invigorating and deeply sobering, harkening back to the 1970s NYC no wave movement and American post-punk stylings of the 1980s. Their live show is equally as chaotic.

Pop Music Fever Dream is a queer post-punk/no wave band from New York City. Their sound harkens back to the ‘70s NYC no wave movement and American post-punk movement of the ‘80s that is both wildly invigorating and deeply sobering.

The band started as a solo project by multi-instrumentalist Tim Seeberger in 2022 as a marriage of their anger towards the disastrous effects of modern life and their love for those affected by it to create a sound of hope. Today, PMFD includes Nicole Harwayne (guitar), Carmen Castillo (bass, second vocals) and Violette Grim (drums).

The four-piece is one of the best live acts in New York right now, where each performance looks and sounds like the band is about to explode right in front of you. Tim commands the room and demands people's presence while climbing on whatever fixture they can, and the band creates an enrapturing wall of sound that backdrops the chaotic live experience.

PMFD has opened for Lip Critic, Sunflower Bean, A Place to Bury Strangers and more.

The band is currently working on their debut album.
