RAY AND PAUL TO PLAY AT THE MASQUERADE ATLANTA ON OCT 28

Posted by Liz and John Attaway, 10/13/25

Ray and Paul Drop Fading — A Bold New EP Blending Surf and Garage Rock, Available Now

Music Video For Title Track “Fading” is Out now

 Ray and Paul are proud to share their brand-new EP, Fading, now streaming everywhere.

“These six songs reflect the past five years of our lives—love, heartbreak, sadness, doubt, confusion, and pain,” the duo says. “They’ve shaped who we are and changed how we see the world and our music. We’re so grateful to finally share this with you and excited for what’s ahead.”

Fading is a 6-track collection featuring the fan-favorite and top-streaming single “Pelican,” live staple “Blue,” three new tracks released earlier this year, and the title track “Fading.” The EP will also be available on limited edition vinyl.

Hailing from the SF Bay Area, brothers Ray and Paul started the band at just 17 and 13 years old. After building a loyal local following, they found their stride playing house shows in Isla Vista while attending school in Santa Barbara. Their signature surf-rock-meets-garage-rock sound shines on Fading, shaped by producer Jarvis Taveniere (Mild High Club, Surf Curse, Allah-Las) and three tracks produced by John Goodmanson (Weezer, Pavement, Nada Surf, Hockey Dad).

2025 has been a breakthrough year for Ray and Paul. They’ve performed at SXSW, Treefort Festival, and toured in support of The Moss and Sun Room. This fall, they’ll hit the road for a California headline tour in September, followed by a full U.S. tour in October supporting Australian band Dice. See all tour dates below.

Gwinnett County Transforms Into a Living Gallery This October With 31 Days of Arts, Culture and Community Experiences – Including the Return of the Award-Winning Not Your Mother’s Art Fest

 Explore Gwinnett, the official tourism organization of Gwinnett County, is thrilled to announce its ninth annual ARTober Gwinnett, a monthlong celebration of the county’s arts, culture and community. This month, Gwinnett County will transform into a living gallery as local artists, performers and cultural organizations bring their talents to stages, streets and unexpected spaces across the community. This year’s 31 days of programming includes the return of the award-winning Not Your Mother’s Art Fest in Lawrenceville.

“ARTober is such a special time for Gwinnett because it gives residents and visitors the chance to experience our community’s creativity in so many unique ways,” said Madison Chucci, senior community development manager of Explore Gwinnett Tourism and Film.“After a successful inaugural celebration last year, we’re excited for Not Your Mother’s Art Fest to return and once again break the mold of the traditional art festival.”

Named the 2025 Best New Event in the Southeast by the Southeast Festivals & Events Association, Not Your Mother’s Art Fest will take place on Friday, October 10, from 6 to 10 p.m. at Slow Pour Brewing. The free, family-friendly festival celebrates nontraditional art styles and unconventional creativity through immersive installations, live performances, street art, hands-on workshops and interactive experiences. From cutting-edge contemporary works to fresh takes on classic forms, Not Your Mother’s Art Fest spotlights diverse voices and underrepresented artists who are redefining what art can be. Hosted in partnership with the City of Lawrenceville and Slow Pour Brewing, the celebration blends creativity with community spirit, complemented by local craft beer, food and an inclusive atmosphere.

In addition to Not Your Mother’s Art Fest, ARTober Gwinnett will feature a lineup of events showcasing the depth and diversity of the county’s creative community. From live theater and poetry slams to music festivals, chalk art, haunted tours and public art, each day offers a new way to connect with creativity. A full list of ARTober events is available here.

Now in its seventh year, the GCF aims to enhance the county’s diverse cultural landscape by providing financial support to local arts and educational organizations through operational and project-based grants.

I’m beyond grateful we get to keep doing what we love and for our loyal guests, our incredible staff, and the Inman Park community that continues to embrace us.”
