MASS MINOR

Embracing the transformative power of music, Mass Minor continues to contribute to the sonic landscape of the 21st century, blending synths and guitars to propel electronic rock into new realms of creativity and expression. Mass Minor seamlessly weaves together influences from '80s New Wave, Post Punk, Synthwave, and Synthpop, creating a sound that resonates with both nostalgia and innovation.

Mass Minor have captivated audiences with electrifying live performances, including standout showcases at SXSW and memorable shows alongside acts such as Urban Heat, Twin Tribes, and the internationally recognized Depeche Mode tribute, Strangelove. Their dynamic performances caught the attention of live audiences throughout the region. Austin Alternative Rock radio station, 101X, invited Mass Minor to perform in their 101X Homegrown Showcase; and the single, Worthy, was selected as Song of Day by KUTX. The video for that song (directed by Teresa Jolie and shot at Robert Rodriguez' Troublemaker Studios) was released in November of 2023 to great acclaim.

2024 and 2025 saw many leaps forward for the band, including the release of two EPs, Vast Reflections and Dark Mode, the former a continuation of their collaboration with Tim Palmer, and the latter a maximum synth re-envisioning of the band's most popular tracks. Mass Minor also returned to SXSW again with multiple showcases, including a slot on the 101X Day Party. Mass Minor took part of the San Antonio iteration of Substance Festival. Throughout the year, the band the shared the stage with bands such as Sacred Skin, TRAITRS, SDH, Club Drugs, Ultra Sunn, Vision Video, Rare DM, Madeline Goldstein, Mvtant, and others. Mass Minor supported Urban Heat on a tour of the Western United States and Canada in September of 2025, which included a show at The Roxy in Los Angeles and a stop in Vancouver, BC for GLOM-FEST. New tracks, The Mountain and Dark Skies (with accompanying music video shot at White Sands National Park) were released in the Fall.
