Sid The Cat Presents Vinyl Williams Album Release Show W/ Mo Dotti, HOTT MT, Occasionally Humans 5/17/2026 at Sid The Cat Auditorium Almost two decades into his career, Lionel (Vinyl) Williams is an enduring fixture of the psychedelic scene. He unveiled his Vinyl Williams alias in 2007, immediately establishing the blueprint for a sound that shimmers like bioluminescent glitter. With releases on labels including Chaz Bear’s Company Records, Requiem Pour Un Twister, and Harmony Records, Williams translates vast, galactic concepts into cosmic sonic textures. It seems fitting that Williams is the inventor of a system for understanding relationships called Musical Astrology — an app that allows you to hear the music of your birthdays, as well as the precise musical pitches of the planets in relation to Earth, on any given day. Williams grew up in a musical family, and spent his childhood orbiting recording studios. He initially wanted to push against the grain and avoid the family business to become a roller coaster engineer, physicist, or architect. But he stopped being able to deny his calling after picking up the drums at 10 years old. As a teenager living in Utah a few years later, Williams formed his first band. His career inadvertently snowballed from there, and Williams found himself a burgeoning force in a bohemian corner of the indie rock landscape.
