Their music is generally categorized as experimental metal, drawing influence from doom metal, noise, and industrial music. Characterized by heavily distorted instrumentation, often incorporating elements of drone and spoken word, The Body’s sound is known for its intensely atmospheric and emotionally raw quality. Formed in 2007, the band has released numerous albums through labels like Profound Lore Records and Thrill Jockey.

Cafe Colonial is a long-standing independent music venue located in the midtown area of Sacramento. Established in 1996, it has become a recognized fixture within the city’s music scene, particularly noted for hosting performances spanning genres like punk rock, hardcore, experimental music and noise. The venue maintains a deliberately intimate setting with a relatively small capacity—approximately 150-200 people—fostering close interactions between performers and audiences. It's historically been a space that supports both local and touring underground acts. The building itself is a modest structure with a distinctly unpolished aesthetic contributing to its established character within the local community.
