Their debut record, The Sighs & Strength (2024)

saw national recognition, generating a fan base far beyond The Valley. Her latest release, Object Impermanence (2025), with SoCal’s Soggy Anvil Records, particularly emphasizes her strengths as both a songwriter and a vocalist.

Fans of the band are already professing their love for a number of unreleased songs, like Good Dogs, Power Couples of the Lizard Beach, and Fuck Me Up, as the they gear up to record their next full-length album in Nashville later this year. Katie Mae & the band take pride in honing their songs in front of a raucous live audience before hitting the studio, so be sure to catch them wherever you get the chance.

Katie Mae

& the Lubrication hail from Phoenix, AZ where they have quickly become a staple of the southwest’s alt-country scene. Fronted by Katie Mae’s sultry yet commanding vocals and backed by the driving rhythm and rowdy guitar licks of the Lubrication, they brings an immersive and dynamic experience to every show. The band is tight yet unpretentious and blends their alt-western, psychedelic country with a gritty DIY attitude.

“My favorite performers are those who seem to be entranced in their own hypnotic spell. They transcend deep into altered states of consciousness & invite you along for the ride. Katie Mae is one of those performers.” -R.W. Tudor, Anything But Mainstream Records
