SML

🎉 Join us for an unforgettable musical experience! 🎶

Noise Pop Festival 2026 proudly presents SML—a remarkable fusion of electronics and improvisation, hailed as "strikingly original and wildly evocative art-fusion" by SPIN. This exceptional quintet, featuring talents such as bassist Anna Butterss, synthesist Jeremiah Chiu, saxophonist Josh Johnson, percussionist Booker Stardrum, and guitarist Gregory Uhlmann, brings their unique style and masterful collaboration to the stage.

Recognized for their impressive work with notable artists like Jeff Parker, Makaya McCraven, and Meshell Ndegeocello, SML's highly anticipated 2024 debut appeared on Pitchfork’s Most Anticipated Albums of Summer list. Their performance will follow a standout showcase at the 2025 San Francisco Jazz Festival, embodying the spirit of creative risk-taking cultivated at their former home, the now-closed ETA club in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood.
